The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program designed to grant Cloud Service Providers, like Lucid Software, a standard approach to security and authorization.

Lucid is FedRAMP Certified at Class C (Moderate) security impact level. The Lucid FedRAMP environment enables public sector customers with heightened security needs to collaborate with confidence so they can see and build the future.

Prepare your network for Lucid users

If you are filtering traffic by domain, you will need to allow the following domain through your firewalls or other filters:

Set up a Lucid SAML 2.0 connection

The basic information needed to set up a SAML connection in your IDP:

SP identifier/entityID/audience restriction: lucidchart.com
Sign on URL: https://lucidgov.app/saml/sso/<yourdomain>
ACS/Reply URL primary Index = 0: https://lucidgov.app/saml/sso/<yourdomain>

Digest Algorithm: SHA-256
nameID: We prefer working with email, but can work with other values 

In compliance with FedRAMP requirements, we offer assertion encryption for SAML identity providers you add to your Lucid GovSuite account. To learn more, refer to our SAML overview article.
