OpenAI Secures FedRAMP Moderate Authorization for Federal Use
OpenAI is now available at FedRAMP Moderate for ChatGPT Enterprise and the OpenAI API, marking a key milestone for secure AI adoption within U.S. federal agencies. The authorization shows that OpenAI's offerings meet rigorous government security requirements, enabling agencies to use advanced AI tools while maintaining risk-managed controls.
This approval helps remove a major adoption barrier: agencies can now procure and deploy OpenAI services under an established compliance framework. That means mission teams — from customer service modernization to data analysis and decision support — can leverage generative AI capabilities with reduced procurement friction and clearer oversight.
The practical benefits are immediate: faster pilots, streamlined procurement, and greater confidence in security practices across cloud-based AI services. With FedRAMP Moderate in place, federal organizations can accelerate AI-driven improvements in citizen services, operational efficiency, and interagency collaboration.
What this enables:
- Compliant use of ChatGPT Enterprise and the OpenAI API by federal agencies.
- Quicker, risk-managed AI deployments that support public-sector modernization.
- Clearer pathways for accountable, secure AI that benefits millions of citizens.
