The news: Atlassian has secured access to US federal agencies with a Federal Risk and Authorisation Management Program (FedRAMP) certification, a baseline security requirement that cloud companies must meet in order to work with US federal entities.
The context: The company said that the FedRAMP authorisation is a “major milestone” and validates its readiness for “mission-critical government applications,” allowing the company to “accelerate productivity and innovation across US government agencies.”
US federal, state, and local government entities, as well as their industry partners, will now be able to adopt Atlassian Government Cloud, helping drive the mandate of President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency to cut trillions of dollars from the US public sector.
US government agencies that are currently using Atlassian Data Center will now be able to migrate to Atlassian Government Cloud.
Atlassian CTO Rajeev Rajan said the accreditation will help to “unleash the potential of every team, including the ones in highly regulated industries.”
What they said: Matthew Graviss, US public sector CTO at Atlassian said: “Our private sector customers have been reaping the benefits of greater productivity, reduced context switching, and better, insight-driven decisions with Atlassian cloud products. After spending the better part of my career in government, I can tell you that moments like these are watersheds in our ability to be a true strategic partner to our public sector customers so they can do the same.”
