# Anthropic Seeks FedRAMP Approval

Anthropic is pursuing FedRAMP Moderate authorization for Claude Enterprise through the FedRAMP 20x program to support regulated organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Claude Enterprise is not yet FedRAMP-authorized, and Anthropic has announced no completion date, so procurement teams should verify authorization status before considering it for workloads requiring FedRAMP Moderate authorization. The signal identifies Claude for Government and access through authorized cloud deployments as alternatives currently available for evaluation.

- Agencies and contractors handling CUI should not assume Claude Enterprise is authorized for FedRAMP Moderate workloads while its application is pending.
- Procurement teams can evaluate Claude for Government or authorized cloud deployments, confirming that the specific service and deployment environment meet their applicable authorization needs.
- AWS Bedrock GovCloud and Google Vertex AI are identified as authorized deployment routes; teams should verify the authorization scope for the particular service and intended use.
