About GovRAMP

GovRAMP is a nonprofit membership organization that brings governments and technology providers together to improve cybersecurity, protect public data, and enable trusted technology adoption.

Through a standardized, NIST-aligned framework, GovRAMP helps service providers demonstrate security and enables governments to make informed, risk-based decisions.

Why GovRAMP Was Created

Government organizations need secure technologies—but inconsistent requirements and duplicative security reviews slow adoption and create unnecessary burden.

GovRAMP was built to solve this by establishing a common framework for verifying the security of cloud services and third-party technologies.

By standardizing how security is assessed and maintained, GovRAMP helps reduce duplication, improve consistency, and strengthen trust across the public sector.

Our Vision

We envision a future where government organizations can confidently adopt secure technologies without unnecessary friction or duplication.

By aligning public and private sector stakeholders around a shared standard, GovRAMP is advancing a more consistent and efficient approach to cybersecurity.

Governed by the Community

GovRAMP is guided by a community of public- and private-sector leaders who ensure the program remains transparent, consistent, and aligned with real-world needs.

Through board leadership and committee collaboration, GovRAMP maintains a governance model that reflects both policy priorities and operational realities across the public sector.
