Summary
Atlassian has obtained FedRAMP Moderate authorization for its Government Cloud, enabling U.S. federal, state, and local agencies to run Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management with strong security assurances. This milestone supports modernizing government operations, reducing infrastructure burden, and enhancing collaboration — all while complying with federal regulatory requirements. The announcement also signals Atlassian’s future ambitions toward FedRAMP High and DoD IL5, making the Government Cloud a compelling choice for regulated public-sector adopters.
What is FedRAMP and Why Is It Important?
FedRAMP, or the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is a rigorous program designed to make adopting cloud technologies easier and safer for U.S. government agencies. It standardizes how cloud products are vetted for their security and risk controls, reassuring government organizations that their data and projects are safe.
With the FedRAMP Moderate authorization under its belt, Atlassian has proven it meets tough security and compliance standards, positioning its Government Cloud solutions as solid options for federal, state, and local government customers. Now, agencies can confidently use Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management on Atlassian’s cloud platform knowing their sensitive information is secure.
Modernizing Operations with Atlassian Government Cloud
For agencies that have relied on Atlassian’s Data Center, this announcement creates new opportunities to modernize operations. Migrating to Atlassian Government Cloud means these organizations can reap the benefits of cloud technology while offloading infrastructure maintenance. Agencies can expect streamlined collaboration, improved data insights, and reduced admin overhead.
Atlassian Government Cloud doesn’t just make life easier for government teams. It delivers the same world-class security, privacy, and innovation that private sector clients have enjoyed for years. Whether it’s simplifying workflows or offering tools that enable data-driven decision-making, the platform empowers government organizations to work smarter and get s*&t done faster. Ultimately, Atlassian Government Cloud will enable teams to operate more efficiently and deliver greater value to the public.
Atlassian isn’t stopping with FedRAMP Moderate level; the Australian software company is already looking toward the future, with plans to pursue FedRAMP High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 (IL5) compliance. This means even greater trust and enhanced capabilities for serving public sector teams and handling the most sensitive missions.
It’s Time For Government Teams to Thrive
Since 2002, Atlassian has been a trusted partner to U.S. government organizations, and this achievement further strengthens that relationship. With the FedRAMP authorization in place, government teams can tap into the benefits of greater productivity, seamless collaboration, and innovation without compromising security. This is a big win for federal, state, and local governments, as well as the industry partners who support them.
Government agencies don’t exactly have a reputation for being efficient or innovative, but Atlassian is helping change that narrative. To learn more about Atlassian’s investment in secure, reliable solutions, check out their Trust Center.
