AvePoint Confidence Platform for the Public Sector Achieves 2025 FedRAMP Reauthorization – Here’s What to Know
TL;DR: AvePoint secured FedRAMP (moderate) reauthorization for 2025, now aligned with NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 to meet the latest federal cybersecurity and compliance standards. This reinforces our commitment to secure cloud collaboration, Zero Trust, and data protection for 1,000+ public sector organizations.
For federal agencies and public sector organizations, security and compliance aren’t just priorities — they’re requirements. That’s why achieving and maintaining authorization from The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a critical milestone for organizations handling government data. The AvePoint Online Services for U.S. Government (AOS-UG) offering, known as the AvePoint Confidence Platform for U.S. Government, has once again met these rigorous standards, securing FedRAMP (moderate) reauthorization for 2025.
This year’s audit also included the transition to covering NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 Controls, ensuring compliance with the latest security and privacy requirements. As a result, AvePoint’s authorization now aligns with a Rev. 5 package, reinforcing our ability to support agencies’ evolving data security and compliance needs.
What does this mean for federal agencies and public sector organizations that rely on AvePoint? Let’s break it down.
What is FedRAMP Reauthorization and Why Does it Matter?
FedRAMP is the gold standard for cloud security in the U.S. public sector. It ensures that cloud service providers meet strict security, risk management, and data protection standards before agencies can use their solutions.
However, FedRAMP authorization isn’t a one-time achievement; it requires continuous compliance, security updates, and annual audits. By securing FedRAMP (moderate) reauthorization for 2025, AvePoint reaffirms our commitment to data protection, zero trust security models, and secure digital collaboration.
With this year’s audit incorporating NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls, we can ensure that federal agencies remain compliant with modernized security and privacy frameworks that address emerging threats, supply chain risk management, and automation of security processes.
Understanding NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 and Its Impact
One of the most significant updates in AvePoint’s FedRAMP (moderate) reauthorization is the transition to NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5. This update, issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), represents the most comprehensive changes to federal cybersecurity requirements in quite some time.
So, what’s changed?
- Enhanced Supply Chain Risk Management – Rev. 5 places greater emphasis on monitoring risk across third-party vendors and cloud providers, a critical area as agencies increase reliance on commercial cloud solutions.
- Expanded Privacy Controls – With a growing focus on data privacy, new controls introduce stronger protections for personally identifiable information (PII) and ensure greater transparency in data handling.
- New Cyber Resiliency Measures – Agencies must now focus on preparing for, responding to, and recovering from cyber threats, reinforcing resilience against ransomware and nation-state attacks.
- Automation and Continuous Monitoring – The new controls promote automating security processes to detect and respond to threats faster, reducing human error and improving efficiency.
For government IT leaders, these changes mean that achieving compliance is no longer just about checking a box — it’s about building a proactive, resilient security framework that can adapt to evolving cyber threats.
