Learn MoreHow is StateRAMP verified?
The StateRAMP verification model is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53 Rev. 4 framework and modeled in part on FedRAMP. Like FedRAMP, StateRAMP relies on authorized third-party assessment organizations (3PAOs) to conduct independent audits.

A service provider that has proven its ability to securely process, store and/or transmit government data including PII, PHI and/or PCI, and meets and maintains the required cybersecurity policies, can obtain StateRAMP-authorized status.

Service providers with a StateRAMP-ready status meet the minimum StateRAMP requirements.
