Google continues to prioritize secure and innovative AI solutions for the public sector. Exciting news: Gemini in Workspace apps and the Gemini app are the first generative AI assistants for productivity and collaboration suites to achieve FedRAMP High authorization!

What does this mean? Government agencies can now confidently deploy Gemini’s advanced AI capabilities within the stringent FedRAMP High security framework. This eliminates the need for expensive add-ons and complex configurations.

Gemini is available within Workspace apps like Docs, Drive, Gmail, Meet, Sheets, and Slides, empowering teams to work faster and more efficiently. The Gemini app further enhances collaboration, brainstorming, and planning.

Google achieved this milestone quickly due to Workspace’s secure and innovative architecture. Unlike providers with separate “Gov Clouds,” Workspace delivers a secure cloud infrastructure for all customers, ensuring government agencies receive the same benefits and features as commercial customers while meeting compliance requirements.

This FedRAMP High authorization builds upon Gemini’s existing security and compliance certifications, including SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001/17/18, and ISO 42001. This demonstrates Google’s commitment to responsible AI development, deployment, and maintenance.

With this authorization, government agencies can leverage AI to:

• Modernize operations: Automate tasks and free up employees for higher-value activities.
• Enhance collaboration: Facilitate seamless communication within and across agencies.
• Improve decision-making: Gain data-driven insights for more effective choices.
• Strengthen citizen services: Deliver more efficient and personalized services.

This is a significant step towards enabling government agencies to innovate and serve the public with trust and security.
