LabArchives Granted GovRAMP™ Membership, Strengthening Commitment to Public Sector Security

Strengthening our alignment with NIST- and FedRAMP-based security frameworks for government and public-sector customers.

LabArchives is pleased to announce that we have officially been granted GovRAMP Membership, marking an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to security, transparency, and compliance for government and public-sector organizations.

GovRAMP, formerly known as StateRAMP®, is the official unified security framework designed to streamline cybersecurity verification for cloud service providers serving federal, state, and local government agencies. With GovRAMP membership now finalized, LabArchives joins a trusted community of technology providers dedicated to meeting rigorous government security standards.

What GovRAMP Membership Means

While GovRAMP Membership itself is not an authorization or Authority to Operate (ATO), it complements LabArchives’ existing government security posture. LabArchives is FedRAMP® Moderate Authorized, having completed a rigorous, independent assessment against the NIST SP 800-53 Moderate baseline, and is licensed enterprise-wide by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support researchers across all NIH Institutes and Centers. Together, these milestones reflect LabArchives’ proven ability to meet the security, compliance, and operational requirements of large, highly regulated public-sector organizations.

For our government, academic, and research customers, this milestone reinforces that LabArchives is actively investing in the controls, documentation, and processes required to support secure cloud environments.

“GovRAMP Membership demonstrates our commitment to aligning with government-recognized security frameworks and supporting the needs of public-sector customers. It is a meaningful step forward in our ongoing security and compliance efforts.” - Kip Locke, President of LabArchives

GovRAMP is actively adopted by government agencies and public higher education institutions across the United States, providing a shared, standardized approach to cloud security and risk management.

Supporting Secure Research and Records Management

LabArchives has long served universities, research institutions, and public organizations that require reliable, compliant platforms for managing research data and records. Achieving GovRAMP membership further underscores our dedication to safeguarding sensitive information and supporting customers operating under strict regulatory requirements.

As GovRAMP continues to unify and modernize government cloud security standards, LabArchives is proud to align with this framework and contribute to a more consistent and trusted security ecosystem across federal, state, and local agencies.

Looking Ahead

GovRAMP membership is a meaningful step forward in LabArchives’ broader security and compliance roadmap. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to working closely with our customers to meet their security, compliance, and operational needs.
