FIPS 140 is a set of standards that describe U.S. government criteria for cryptographic modules — including both hardware and software components — used within federal information systems. Officially known as the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140, it is designed to ensure that the cryptographic tools and systems employed to protect sensitive data meet stringent security requirements.

FedRAMP, or the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, serves as a critical framework for assessing, authorizing, and monitoring cloud products and services used by U.S. federal agencies. Established to promote the adoption of secure cloud services across the government, FedRAMP ensures that cloud providers meet a stringent set of security standards before their products can be deployed within federal networks.
