Milestone advances Elastic’s mission to support the U.S. Federal Government’s most sensitive and mission-critical workloads
Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, announced Elastic Cloud Hosted has achieved the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High “In Process” status on AWS GovCloud (US). This milestone reinforces Elastic’s commitment to delivering secure and compliant solutions that support the U.S. Federal Government in safeguarding controlled unclassified information (CUI) and other sensitive, high-impact data across various mission-critical use cases.
FedRAMP High is the program’s most stringent security baseline, requiring more than 400 rigorous security controls to protect cloud environments that manage sensitive unclassified data, including information related to national security, critical infrastructure and financial risk. Elastic Cloud Hosted is already FedRAMP Moderate authorized on AWS GovCloud (US), supporting a wide range of public sector agencies.
“Achieving FedRAMP High ‘In Process’ status is a significant step toward expanding our support for federal agencies with high-security workloads,” said Chris Townsend, global vice president, Public Sector at Elastic. “Whether it’s advancing Zero Trust strategies or building generative AI applications, Elastic is committed to delivering secure, transparent, compliant and cost-effective solutions to help government agencies achieve their missions.”
With the “In Process” designation in place, Elastic is working closely with its sponsoring agency and third-party assessors to complete the final phases of the FedRAMP High authorization process. Upon receiving final authorization, Elastic Cloud Hosted will be cleared to support the government’s most security-sensitive workloads in compliance with FedRAMP High.
