GovRAMP

Nonprofit program (formerly StateRAMP) providing cloud security verification for US state and local governments.

Definition

GovRAMP, renamed from StateRAMP in 2025, uses NIST SP 800-53 based baselines modeled on FedRAMP and independent 3PAO assessments to verify cloud providers serving state, local, and education entities. It offers reciprocity paths with FedRAMP.

Example

A state agency requires a vendor to hold GovRAMP Authorized status at the Moderate level.

Exam tip

GovRAMP is for state and local government; FedRAMP is federal.
