What is Datadog's FedRAMP status?

Datadog is built for FedRAMP High environments, enabling agencies to monitor and secure their most sensitive systems.

Unlike vendors that offer limited “compliance versions,” Datadog for Government operates within the FedRAMP High boundary without sacrificing the breadth or depth of the platform. Customers continue to benefit from the same pace of R&D and AI-assisted insights as the commercial platform.

Control mappings and package materials are available to support internal ATO processes.

Stay updated: The latest status is published on the FedRAMP Marketplace (search “Datadog”). For additional details on certifications and controls, visit our Security & Compliance page.

Where is the data hosted and how is residency managed?

Datadog for Government is hosted in AWS GovCloud (US), which is specifically designed for sensitive workloads. All customer data and platform operations are strictly restricted to U.S. persons on U.S. soil to ensure compliance with U.S. data residency requirements.

  • AWS GovCloud (US): Designed for sensitive workloads; helps agencies meet stringent compliance and data-handling requirements.
    GovCloud overview
  • Security controls: Encryption in transit and at rest, granular RBAC, SSO/SAML, audit logging, and segregation for compliance-scoped environments.
  • Network & data considerations: Flexible ingestion options and service endpoints to support agency network policies. Your account team can advise on the best topology for your environment.
  • See our Security & Compliance page for certifications, attestations, and additional documentation.

Does Datadog support Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) mandates?

Yes. Datadog provides unified visibility across infrastructure, applications, and networks required to support Executive Order 14028 and OMB M-22-09. The platform correlates real-time security signals with operational telemetry to help agencies achieve mature Zero Trust outcomes. Datadog is also an official partner in AWS’s Zero Trust Accelerator for Government (ZTAG) ecosystem.

How does Datadog help reduce "Tool Sprawl" and "Cloud Waste"?

By unifying observability and security on a single platform, agencies can consolidate disconnected point tools and reduce licensing overhead. The Cloud Cost Management features allow agencies to identify unused resources and align GovCloud spend with federal FinOps guidance.
