State, local, and educational institutions (SLED) have such a wide array of needs, staff sizes, resources, and data types – but no matter what size or type of government agency you work for, it is critical for governments to protect sensitive data from cyberattacks. Starting your software search on the StateRAMP marketplace means you’re already guaranteed to have a head start in keeping data secure from cyber threats. 

With ever-escalating cyber threats, safeguarding data is paramount, making StateRAMP—the State Risk and Authorization Management Program—an excellent solution for a complex problem.  

Understanding the Importance of StateRAMP

StateRAMP introduces a comprehensive and consistent approach to assessing vendor security.  

Historically, states struggled with independent security standards due to limited technical capabilities and resources. StateRAMP helps solver for this this by offering a standardized security approach audited by third-party firms.  

Some states, like Colorado, are leading the way in integrating StateRAMP into state procurement requirements, signifying a shift toward relying on this streamlined vetting process to help select software providers with security guaranteed.
