At NinjaOne, we’re proud to be the trusted partner of over 1,400 public sector organizations that are tackling the challenges of today’s endpoint management head-on. Now, with GovRAMP Authorization (formerly StateRMAP) we’re making it even easier for SLED agencies to simplify operations, secure their environments, maintain compliance, and modernize government IT without the complexity, overhead, or patchwork of legacy tools.

Compliance gaps can delay procurement and stall modernization efforts.

Scale reliably with GovRAMP-Authorized IT

Why GovRAMP Authorization matters for SLED

GovRAMP is a government-wide framework that standardizes how cloud services are assessed for security, and it’s among the most stringent benchmarks in the public sector. Achieving GovRAMP Authorization at the Moderate Impact Level, means NinjaOne has met over 300 rigorous controls cloud security and compliance to ensure its platform can protect sensitive data and deliver secure IT operations.
This matters for SLED IT teams because it removes a major barrier to modernization. With GovRAMP validation and NinjaOne’s multi-tenant architecture, agencies can confidently automate endpoint management, streamline compliance, and securely manage multiple departments from a single platform, without increasing operational risk or complexity.

Real-World public sector use cases

Across education and local government, public sector IT teams are turning to NinjaOne to modernize endpoint management, improve compliance, and reduce operational costs.

Unify endpoint management

With limited IT staff and increasing demands, Beekmantown Central School District, NY used NinjaOne to improve endpoint visibility across student and faculty devices, reducing manual tasks and improving service delivery across campuses.

Automate security and compliance

The IT team at the City of North Adams, MA consolidated aging tools and automated routine maintenance tasks with NinjaOne, gaining control over software deployments and improving endpoint compliance across city departments.

Cost management and efficiency gains

Faced with outdated tools, high endpoint management costs, and poor patch visibility, East Texas A&M University (ETAMU) needed a modern solution that could scale with its hybrid learning environment. By switching to NinjaOne, the university deployed the platform to all endpoints in under two days, consolidated legacy tools to save $58K annually, and reduced technician workloads by four hours per day. The team now resolves IT issues up to 120x faster and maintains consistent patch compliance across thousands of devices.

FAQs

Many state and local agencies require compliance with multiple security frameworks beyond GovRAMP Moderate Authorization, such as HIPAA or PCI compliance. However, IT security tools with GovRAMP Moderate Authorization make it easier for organizations to meet compliance requirements by implementing security controls and documentation practices that are commonly mandatory across cybersecurity frameworks.

Rather than spending time and money on constantly running security assessments on new cloud vendors, SLED agencies can rely on GovRAMP Moderate Authorization to tell that a cloud service provider meets standardized security benchmarks that are recognized across multiple jurisdictions. This allows SLED agencies to invest in and deploy cloud solutions faster. In addition, SLED agencies ensure that any data processed by a GovRAMP-authorized cloud service provider receives a significantly higher level of protection against cyberattacks.

GovRAMP defines continuous monitoring as a monthly review of a cloud service provider to verify that its security controls remain effective after the initial authorization. To maintain GovRAMP authorization, a cloud service provider must resolve any issues that come up from this monthly review. High-risk issues must be resolved within 30 days, moderate issues within 90 days, and low-risk issues within 180 days, while critical vulnerabilities require immediate remediation. Another requirement of continuous monitoring states that vendors must also undergo a new audit conducted by a Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) for review by the GovRAMP.
