Dayforce announces efforts for FedRAMP Authorization to deepen support to U.S. federal agencies

Dayforce, Inc., a global human capital management (HCM) leader, announced its commitment to achieving Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certification—reinforcing Dayforce’s dedication to meeting the highest standards of security, compliance, and operational rigor required to serve U.S. federal agencies.

By committing to the FedRAMP certification process, Dayforce is strengthening its position as a trusted compliance leader while expanding access to its AI-powered people platform to help government agencies modernize legacy HCM and payroll systems, according to the company.

Through a single platform built for scale and accountability, Dayforce simplifies workforce management and improves visibility, enabling organizations to operate with greater confidence, efficiency, and measurable cost savings.

“Dayforce is built to operate in the most complex and highly regulated environments,” said Steve Holdridge, president and chief operating officer, Dayforce, Inc. “Committing to FedRAMP certification reflects the depth of our investment in compliance and our ability to manage complexity at scale. Our ongoing work with large-scale government agencies, including the Government of Canada, demonstrates that we are building on proven expertise to deliver secure, modern workforce technology to U.S. federal agencies.”

Dayforce is making significant investments to build a dedicated FedRAMP-aligned environment built on Microsoft Azure’s cloud infrastructure, the company said.

The company initiated its FedRAMP readiness efforts in the first half of 2025 by engaging cybersecurity advisory firm Fortreum to establish its authorization and readiness strategy. Separately, Dayforce has selected Baker Tilly to perform third-party assessment services as part of the FedRAMP authorization process.

This initiative further strengthens Dayforce’s established public sector track record, including ongoing work with the Government of Canada, a large U.S. federal government agency undergoing FISMA Assessment & Authorization, and a broad base of public sector customers across North America.
