We have exciting news for public sector organizations: As of March 14, 2025, Atlassian Government Cloud has officially achieved FedRAMP Moderate Authorization! This milestone marks a significant step forward in enabling government agencies to modernize operations, enhance collaboration, and drive mission success—all within a secure and compliant cloud environment.

What This Means for Government Teams

For U.S. government agencies and contractors, FedRAMP Moderate Authorization ensures that Atlassian Government Cloud meets stringent federal security standards for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and other sensitive data. With this authorization, agencies can now confidently leverage Jira Software, Jira Service Management (JSM), and Confluence in a secure, fully managed cloud environment.

Why FedRAMP Matters

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is the gold standard for cloud security in the U.S. government. It provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Achieving FedRAMP Moderate Authorization means that Atlassian Government Cloud has undergone a rigorous evaluation to ensure compliance with over 300 security controls, safeguarding government data and reducing risk.
