The nonprofit group managing the State Risk and Authorization Management Program will rebrand as GovRAMP. This change aims to indicate that the program extends beyond state government use to include local governments, educational institutions, and more. Executive director Leah McGrath shared that the rebranding coincides with a shift towards a more collaborative cybersecurity approach among different government levels. The rebrand will also help improve communication about the program's benefits across various public sectors, while both names will continue to be used in different contexts.
The rebranding from StateRAMP to GovRAMP signifies a shift towards a more inclusive cybersecurity approach, allowing various public sectors to utilize the program.
We recognized the name StateRAMP felt limiting for local governments and educational institutions. The rebrand aims to enhance communication and awareness across all levels.
GovRAMP's mission emphasizes sharing best practices and information among all levels of government, addressing the interconnectedness of cybersecurity threats.
This rebrand reflects the reality that a threat to one level of government is a threat to all, emphasizing collective cybersecurity efforts.
