Unlike competitors who build isolated, pared-down government clouds, Cloudflare runs its FedRAMP High offering on the same global network and software stack as its commercial platform, using software-defined regionality and its Data Localization Suite to meet data residency requirements. The company also announced its commitment to pursue DoD Impact Level 4 (IL4) authorization, which covers controlled unclassified data for the defense community. Federal agencies gain access to the same Zero Trust tools, DDoS protection, and developer features as enterprise customers without compromise. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is the difference between FedRAMP Moderate and FedRAMP High authorization? FedRAMP Moderate (Class C) covers systems where a compromise could have a serious adverse effect, such as a national park admission system. FedRAMP High (Class D) covers the nation's most sensitive unclassified data — law enforcement, emergency services, financial systems, and national security — where a breach could be catastrophic, potentially causing loss of life or threatening national or economic security. _Teams navigating FedRAMP compliance tiers find the latest government cloud security news on daily.dev._ ### How does Cloudflare meet FedRAMP High data residency requirements on a global network? Cloudflare uses its Data Localization Suite to apply software-defined controls over where data is processed and stored. For FedRAMP High services, all traffic inspection and processing occurs exclusively within U.S. data centers, while still running on the same global network infrastructure and software stack used for commercial customers. _Architects designing compliant cloud infrastructure track approaches like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Cloudflare Expands Quantum-Safe Government Security Platform With FedRAMP High Authorization](https://daily.dev/posts/cloudflare-expands-quantum-safe-government-security-platform-with-fedramp-high-authorization-jcxnlafwe) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Cisco Secure Access for Government Achieves FedRAMP Certified Class D \(High\)](https://daily.dev/posts/cisco-secure-access-for-government-achieves-fedramp-certified-class-d-high--yobuzesvz) · Cisco · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Cisco Security’s Path to FedRAMP Certified Class D \(High\) and Zero Trust.](https://daily.dev/posts/cisco-security-s-path-to-fedramp-certified-class-d-high-and-zero-trust--j77wtm46a) · Cisco · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [FedRAMP High & IL5: Securing the federal zero-trust future](https://daily.dev/posts/fedramp-high-il5-securing-the-federal-zero-trust-future-l9tiilqxh) · Tenable Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Dynatrace plans FedRAMP Class D \(High\): Why it matters for agency strategic planning](https://daily.dev/posts/dynatrace-plans-fedramp-class-d-high-why-it-matters-for-agency-strategic-planning-jdmssiyab) · Dynatrace · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#compliance](https://daily.dev/tags/compliance), [#cloudflare](https://daily.dev/tags/cloudflare) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/serving-the-most-critical-missions-cloudflare-for-government-achieves-fedramp-class-d-high-certif-9bdksvdhf) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Serving the most critical missions: Cloudflare for Government achieves FedRAMP Class D (High) Certified status","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/serving-the-most-critical-missions-cloudflare-for-government-achieves-fedramp-class-d-high-certif-9bdksvdhf","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/serving-the-most-critical-missions-cloudflare-for-government-achieves-fedramp-class-d-high-certif-9bdksvdhf"},"datePublished":"2026-08-10T13:10:39.941Z","dateModified":"2026-08-10T13:11:19.999Z","description":"Cloudflare for Government has achieved FedRAMP Class D (High) Certified status, sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
