Summary

Cloudflare has announced its commitment to achieving various government security certifications, including the US Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) - High, Australian Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP), and Spain’s Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS). This move aims to provide industry-standard tools for governments and regulated industries to ensure uptime, reliability, and performance. Cloudflare has built its government compliance capabilities into its platform from the beginning, leveraging its global network of over 330 cities in 120 countries to deliver critical controls in traffic processing, management, and metadata storage. The company's single-platform strategy enables most of its products and services to be included in scope with Cloudflare for Government, ensuring that regulated customers can meet complex security requirements without segmentation. With this expansion, Cloudflare is expanding its FedRAMP Moderate authorization to include more products, such as API Shield, R2, Cache Reserve, and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and plans to introduce two new products in 2025: Hyperdrive and Cloudflare Images. The company's commitment to post-quantum cryptography and industry-recognized technologies strengthens the public sector systems, while its Spanish security certification demonstrates its dedication to obtaining country-specific authorizations.
