Elastic Cloud Hosted has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program High authorization on Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US), the program’s most rigorous security baseline, requiring over 400 security controls to protect sensitive unclassified government data.
“FedRAMP High expands our ability to support agencies operating in highly sensitive environments and underscores Elastic’s enduring commitment to help improve our national security posture while driving operational efficiencies,” said Chris Townsend, global vice president of public sector at Elastic.
The authorization allows U.S. federal agencies to deploy Elastic Cloud Hosted for high-impact workloads including cyber defense and investigations, zero trust initiatives and AI-powered mission applications. Agencies responsible for law enforcement, emergency response, public health, financial systems and national security operations can now use the platform for security information and event management, threat detection and response, large-scale logging and compliance programs, and AI-driven search experiences.
Elastic Cloud Hosted is also Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program Moderate authorized on Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US), giving agencies flexibility to match deployment options to mission requirements.
The authorization builds on Elastic’s federal presence, including a security information and event management-as-a-service program with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and ECS for federal civilian executive branch agencies and a volume-based discount agreement with the General Services Administration to simplify procurement.
