Amazon Web Services recognized by GovRAMP

We are pleased to announce that Amazon Web Services (Amazon Web Services) is now listed on the GovRAMP webpage under the Federal JAB Attestation category for both Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US) (High) and Amazon Web Services US East/West (Moderate) regions. GovRAMP—formerly known as StateRAMP—is a nonprofit organization that provides a standardized framework designed specifically for state and local governments in the United States (US) to ensure cloud security compliance. Similar to FedRAMP but for state and local government needs, GovRAMP provides a consistent approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.

StateRAMP rebranded to GovRAMP in early 2025 to better reflect its expanded scope beyond state governments. Originally created by state officials in 2021, the organization attracted interest from local governments and educational institutions to support the “whole-of-state” cybersecurity model where services are shared across different government levels. These developments demonstrate the exciting evolution of cloud computing use within US state and local governments. We’re seeing a growing number of US state and local government agencies using Amazon Web Services to better protect and secure their sensitive data and critical workloads, taking advantage of the advanced security and control features that Amazon Web Services provides.

This recognition showcases Amazon Web Services’s commitment to customer security and compliance requirements. To learn more about Amazon Web Services’ GovRAMP, visit this webpage.
