Elastic (NYSE: ESTC) announced that its Elastic Cloud Hosted service has received Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High authorization on AWS GovCloud (US), according to a company statement.

The authorization allows U.S. federal agencies to use the cloud service for high-impact workloads involving sensitive, unclassified government data. FedRAMP High represents the program's most stringent security baseline, requiring more than 400 security controls to protect controlled unclassified information.

Federal agencies can now deploy Elastic Cloud Hosted for security information and event management, threat detection, Zero Trust architecture initiatives, large-scale logging programs, and AI-driven applications. The service supports agencies in law enforcement, emergency response, public health, financial systems, and national security operations.

Elastic Cloud Hosted previously held FedRAMP Moderate authorization on AWS GovCloud (US), providing agencies with deployment options based on their 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.

The authorization builds on Elastic's federal partnerships, including collaboration with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and ECS for a unified SIEM-as-a-Service program for Federal Civilian Executive Branch Agencies. The company also maintains a volume-based discount agreement with the General Services Administration.

The service supports advanced search and generative AI applications, enabling agencies to connect their data to large language models using retrieval augmented generation techniques. Elastic's architecture supports Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and other Cloud Native Computing Foundation projects.
