Nevada adopts GovRAMP as statewide cloud security standard

Editorial brief

Nevada announced it will adopt GovRAMP as the state's standard framework for cloud security verification across executive branch agencies. The new requirements take effect July 1, 2026, and apply to cloud service providers doing business with Nevada state agencies. Vendors will undergo independent assessment and continuous monitoring through GovRAMP rather than duplicative reviews by individual agencies. GovRAMP and Nevada plan to host webinars ahead of the effective date to walk vendors through the updated requirements.
