StateRAMP - Cloud Vendor Assurance 2026

Standardized security assurance for cloud products sold to state, local, territorial, tribal, and education organizations.

StateRAMP is the state and local analogue of FedRAMP, and the distinction matters: this is a framework a municipality uses to evaluate its vendors, not one it certifies itself against. Use it as the procurement question - is this product StateRAMP authorized, at what impact level, and does the authorization actually cover the module we are buying.

A vendor that is FedRAMP authorized generally satisfies StateRAMP through reciprocity; a vendor that is neither should expect to complete a full security questionnaire instead. A city seeking authorization for a service it operates itself is the rare exception, not the normal use.

How Lavawall® helps you get to StateRAMP - Cloud Vendor Assurance compliance

Most of StateRAMP - Cloud Vendor Assurance comes down to technical controls you have to run and prove: keeping systems patched, hardening configuration, detecting breaches early, backing up what matters, controlling access, and keeping evidence that all of it actually happened. Lavawall® runs those controls across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace from one console, maps them to StateRAMP - Cloud Vendor Assurance, and tracks your posture continuously instead of once a year at audit time.

• Assess your current state against StateRAMP - Cloud Vendor Assurance in the Lavawall GRC module, with the questionnaire and control set built in.
• Remediate the gaps with the same platform — automated patching, configuration fixes, backups, and access review — not a separate project.
• Evidence everything with timestamped, exportable records auditors, insurers, and clients accept.
