With the “In Process” designation, Elastic is collaborating closely with its sponsoring agency and third-party assessors to complete the final phases of the FedRAMP High authorization. Once fully authorized, Elastic Cloud Hosted will support the government’s most sensitive workloads in compliance with FedRAMP High.
