Bentley Systems has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorisation at the moderate impact level for its ProjectWise and OpenGround platforms, marking a step in enabling secure, cloud-based delivery of US infrastructure programmes.
The milestone allows federal agencies and their delivery partners to adopt Bentley’s connected data environment, ProjectWise, alongside OpenGround, its geotechnical information management and reporting software, within a compliant framework aligned to US government security standards.
FedRAMP is a US government-wide initiative designed to accelerate the adoption of secure cloud services. With this authorisation, agencies can deploy Bentley’s tools to strengthen data-centric workflows across critical sectors, including transport, water, defence and environmental infrastructure.
By enabling secure, interoperable and scalable digital workflows, the platforms support federal owners in modernising infrastructure delivery strategies. This includes improving cross-agency collaboration and integrating emerging technologies such as AI, digital twins, connected construction and real-time geotechnical intelligence within a compliant cloud environment.
“The FedRAMP authorisation signals Bentley’s commitment to trust, compliance, and safeguarding critical infrastructure information while improving how agencies securely share and manage project data in the cloud,” said Julien Moutte, chief technology officer, Bentley Systems.
“ProjectWise and OpenGround provide a trusted digital foundation for federal infrastructure programmes, connecting surface and subsurface intelligence in secure cloud environments to accelerate project delivery and improve infrastructure resilience, all while meeting the highest US government security standards.”
The authorisation, sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, covers ProjectWise Design Integration and OpenGround, with additional ProjectWise services expected to follow.
