With this authorization, U.S. federal agencies can deploy Elastic Cloud Hosted to support high-impact workloads and the most sensitive government data, including cyber defense and investigations, Zero Trust initiatives, and AI-powered mission applications.
Secure foundation for modern federal missions
FedRAMP High is the program’s most rigorous security baseline, requiring more than 400 security controls to protect highly sensitive, unclassified government data, including controlled unclassified information (CUI). It provides a standardized government-wide approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud services.
Now, agencies responsible for law enforcement, emergency response, public health, financial systems, and national security operations can use Elastic Cloud Hosted with a secure and compliant foundation for:
Elastic Cloud Hosted is also FedRAMP Moderate authorized on AWS GovCloud (US), giving agencies flexibility to align deployment options with their specific mission requirements.
“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.
This milestone builds on Elastic’s growing federal footprint, including collaboration with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and ECS to support a unified SIEM-as-a-Service program for Federal Civilian Executive Branch Agencies (FCEBs), and a volume-based discount agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA) to streamline procurement and drive cost efficiencies across federal agencies.
Elastic’s open, standards-based architecture supports Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and other Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects, which helps agencies reduce vendor lock-in, control data retention costs, and meet mandates such as OMB M-21-31 while maintaining full access to their data.
Elastic Cloud Hosted on AWS GovCloud (US) also supports advanced search and GenAI use cases, enabling agencies to securely connect their own data to large language models using retrieval augmented generation (RAG) techniques. Agencies can also add unified visibility across Zero Trust pillars to effectively meet CISA’s Zero Trust mandates with agility and cost efficiency, in turn creating a single source of truth for continuous trust validation.
