What happened
Cybersecurity Insiders reported on 2026-09-10 that Merlin named Torq a key technology partner for its SOC Modernization architecture serving federal agencies. Merlin is also described as supporting Torq's path toward FedRAMP authorization through Constellation GovCloud (article read 2026-11-05).
The report describes Torq's platform triaging alerts and running response under agency-defined guardrails with human oversight. It gives no containment action list, no approval mode and no time to contain. FedRAMP authorization is described as a path, not as granted.
What it changes for a buyer
A federal buyer should treat Torq's authorization status as pending until a FedRAMP listing says otherwise. The note does not change Torq's scores, which rest on its knowledge base articles and workflow templates.
