FedRAMP High overview

  • Requires compliance with NIST SP 800-53 high baseline controls.
  • Requires strict access controls, including encryption in transit and at rest.

Enable FedRAMP High compliance controls

The FedRAMP High authorization status of Databricks on AWS GovCloud is Authorized. Customers are responsible for implementing and operating applicable FedRAMP High compliance controls as documented in the Control Implementation Summary / Customer Responsibility Matrix in SSP Appendix J of the Databricks FedRAMP authorization documentation package. US Government agencies can obtain access to the Databricks FedRAMP High authorization documentation through the FedRAMP package access request form. Follow the instructions on the Databricks FedRAMP Marketplace listing (package ID: FR2324740262).

FedRAMP High compliance controls are available on Databricks on AWS GovCloud. The compliance security profile is enabled by default on all AWS GovCloud workspaces, which adds monitoring agents, provides a hardened compute image, and enforces Nitro instance types for inter-node encryption. Automatic cluster update and enhanced security monitoring are also enabled. For setup requirements, see Databricks on AWS GovCloud.

You are solely responsible for verifying that sensitive information is never entered in customer-defined input fields, such as workspace names, compute resource names, tags, job names, job run names, network names, credential names, storage account names, and Git repository IDs or URLs. These fields might be stored, processed, or accessed outside the compliance boundary.
