LCPtracker Sets New Security Bar with FedRAMP Authorization

ORANGE, CA – May 06, 2026 – LCPtracker, Inc., a prominent provider of labor compliance software, has achieved a significant data security milestone by securing FedRAMP® Moderate Rev 5 Agency Authorization. The company announced today that its flagship platform, LCPtracker Pro, is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace, making it the only solution in the prevailing wage compliance market to attain this elite federal security designation.

This achievement places LCPtracker in a select group of approximately 500 cloud providers that have met the rigorous security standards required for use by U.S. federal agencies. The authorization signals a new benchmark for data protection in an industry responsible for managing highly sensitive workforce and payroll data for publicly funded construction projects.

"Achieving FedRAMP Authorization represents an important milestone for LCPtracker and the organizations we support," said Mark Douglas, CEO of LCPtracker, in a statement. "Our focus has always been on helping clients manage complex labor compliance requirements with confidence. This authorization reinforces that commitment by strengthening the security foundation our entire platform is built on."

The Gold Standard of Federal Cloud Security

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, or FedRAMP, is a U.S. government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Established in 2011, it is mandatory for federal agencies procuring cloud services, creating a "do once, use many times" framework that saves government resources by eliminating redundant agency-specific security assessments.

Achieving the "Moderate" authorization level is a demanding endeavor. It signifies that a compromise of the system could have a serious adverse effect on an agency's operations, assets, or individuals. The "Rev 5" designation refers to the latest revision of security controls based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53, a comprehensive catalog of security and privacy protocols. To earn this status, LCPtracker had to demonstrate compliance with approximately 325 independently audited security controls and commit to continuous monitoring and ongoing federal oversight.

This federally defined framework is substantially more rigorous than other common industry security standards. While many software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers rely on certifications like SOC 2 Type II, which is based on organization-defined security controls, FedRAMP imposes a uniform and non-negotiable set of federal requirements. LCPtracker maintains compliance with both SOC 2 Type II and NIST 800-171, but its new FedRAMP authorization provides a third-party validated level of protection that far exceeds typical industry norms.

A New Competitive Edge in Labor Compliance

By becoming the sole provider in its specific market segment to achieve FedRAMP Moderate authorization, LCPtracker has established a significant competitive advantage. The prevailing wage compliance software market, which includes providers like B2Gnow and Elation Systems, helps contractors and government agencies navigate the complex reporting required for public works projects. While competitors emphasize secure cloud-based systems, LCPtracker's FedRAMP status provides a unique, government-validated seal of approval.

This distinction is critical for organizations bidding on or managing federal contracts. For Department of Defense contractors, for instance, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requires that cloud services handling controlled unclassified information meet a security level equivalent to the FedRAMP Moderate baseline. LCPtracker's authorization directly addresses this requirement, potentially simplifying procurement and strengthening a contractor's compliance posture.

The authorization not only solidifies the company's leadership in the niche but also opens new avenues for growth within the federal government. Federal agencies can now procure LCPtracker Pro with the confidence that it has already undergone a deep and standardized security vetting process, accelerating IT modernization efforts and reducing internal risk assessment burdens. This milestone effectively reshapes the competitive landscape, positioning data security as a key differentiator for software solutions in the government contracting space.

Protecting Sensitive Data on Public Works Projects

The heightened security is particularly crucial given the nature of the data LCPtracker's platform manages. The software is designed to ensure compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and other related prevailing wage laws. Enacted in 1931, the Davis-Bacon Act requires that laborers and mechanics on federally funded construction projects be paid no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits.

To verify compliance, contractors must submit weekly certified payroll records to the contracting agency. These records contain a trove of sensitive information, including employee names, addresses, job classifications, hours worked, and detailed wage and benefit calculations. Protecting this personally identifiable information (PII) and financial data from breaches is paramount.

LCPtracker Pro serves as the central repository and management tool for this data, used by government agencies, project owners, and thousands of contractors. The FedRAMP authorization ensures that the entire platform, from data ingress to storage and reporting, is fortified by a federally approved security architecture. This provides a robust defense against cyber threats and assures all stakeholders that sensitive workforce information is handled according to the highest government standards. Importantly, the company has stated that these security safeguards extend to all organizations using LCPtracker Pro, not just federal entities.

Practical Benefits for Agencies and Contractors

Beyond the high-level security assurances, the FedRAMP authorization delivers tangible benefits that streamline operations for both government agencies and their contractors. For federal agencies, the ability to select a pre-authorized solution from the FedRAMP Marketplace dramatically reduces procurement timelines and costs. It allows them to bypass lengthy, resource-intensive security evaluations and focus on mission-critical objectives, confident that their cloud partner meets stringent federal mandates.

For government contractors, using a FedRAMP-authorized platform simplifies one of the most complex aspects of public works projects: labor compliance. The automated tracking and reporting features of LCPtracker Pro, now backed by elite security, reduce the administrative burden of manual payroll certification and minimize the risk of costly errors and audits. This allows contractors to focus more on project execution and less on compliance paperwork.

This move aligns with broader federal IT trends emphasizing a shift toward secure, cost-effective cloud solutions and a "Zero Trust" security model. As government agencies continue to modernize legacy systems, the demand for pre-vetted, secure cloud services will only grow. By investing in the rigorous FedRAMP process, LCPtracker has not only future-proofed its platform but also provided a critical tool that helps enable this secure digital transformation across the public construction sector. The achievement sets a clear precedent for how sensitive compliance data should be managed in the cloud era.
