Zoom for Government Achieves JAB Authorization
From the Oval Office to your local post office, Zoom for Government is transforming how the US government connects. Today, Zoom announced that The FedRAMP® Joint Authorization Board (JAB) authorized Zoom for Government as a JAB Moderate system, adding to Zoom’s growing list of additional government certifications. While Zoom for Government was initially FedRAMP authorized in March of 2019, having the collective JAB approval solidifies the security of the Zoom platform.
“The Zoom for Government offering was built to be simple, secure, and scalable, supporting the Federal Government’s mission,” said Matt Mandrgoc, Head of Public Sector at Zoom. “We are thrilled to receive this certification, reinforcing our commitment to giving our Federal customers a secure and innovative communications platform.”

What is JAB?
JAB is composed of CIOs and Authorizing Officials from the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and General Services Administration (GSA). The JAB selects approximately 12 cloud products a year to work with for a JAB Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO). A JAB P-ATO represents a “high water mark” from the assessment perspective. Zoom for Government received its JAB accreditation on July 28, 2023.
