GovRAMP Committed to Federal Collaboration for Secure Cloud Adoption

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — March 24, 2025 – As the cloud security landscape continues to evolve, StateRAMP dba GovRAMP remains deeply committed to supporting federal efforts to advance automation, zero trust, and secure technology adoption for federal agencies. GovRAMP remains committed to providing all levels of government innovation faster without sacrificing security.

We recognize the vital role FedRAMP plays in setting standards that support the security and modernization of government IT systems, and we look forward to serving as a collaborative partner in this ongoing work.

GovRAMP looks forward to participating in the FedRAMP working groups.

GovRAMP will continue to work hand-in-hand with its members across all levels of government, industry and third-party assessing organizations on the critical developments impacting cloud security for state, local, and federal governments.

“GovRAMP’s mission is to advance risk management and build a more secure, cost-effective cloud ecosystem for the nation. As a business-focused leader in state government, I have experienced firsthand how GovRAMP has revolutionized our ability to mitigate risk and offer a more competitive marketplace in the state. I know their collaborative approach will provide an excellent bridge between federal agencies and industry partners to build a more secure, cost-effective cloud ecosystem for the nation,” says J.R. Sloan, GovRAMP Board President and State of Arizona CIO.

With a focus on inclusivity and collaboration, GovRAMP is committed to working across the ecosystem to grow the marketplace and ensure that all government agencies, regardless of jurisdiction, have access to the secure, compliant technology solutions they need. We’re encouraged by the efforts underway to enhance security frameworks and streamline processes, and we look forward to continuing these conversations to help shape a more connected and efficient public sector technology landscape.

To discuss these important developments and more, we invite stakeholders, providers, and government representatives to join J.R. Sloan, GovRAMP Board President, GovRAMP Executive Director Leah McGrath, and GovRAMP PMO Executive Advisor Fred Brittain for a discussion on FedRAMP’s announced changes on Thursday, March 27 at 3:30 pm ET.  Watch the replay here.
