What this means for Federal agencies and cloud security

In a groundbreaking achievement for public safety technology, Axon is pleased to share that our Draft One product and Axon application, available now for iOS (authorization for Android coming in mid 2025), have officially received FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) Authorization. This milestone underlines Axon’s commitment to data security and ensures that Federal agencies can confidently rely on Axon’s products to meet strict security and compliance standards. Here’s what FedRAMP Authorization means for Axon, its Federal partners, and the broader landscape of digital security.

Axon FedRAMP authorization

US Axon FedCloud holds a FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board (JAB) Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO) at the High Impact Level. Achieving FedRAMP Authorization means that Axon’s products have undergone rigorous testing and auditing to meet stringent federal cybersecurity standards, creating a secure cloud environment designed for Federal government agencies. The addition of Draft One and the Axon App to Axon’s Authorization boundary enable Axon’s Federal partners to take advantage of Axon’s latest mobile and AI productivity technologies.

Draft One

Draft One force multiplies agencies and cuts report writing time by 50% or more. The solution leverages AI to generate report drafts from body-worn camera audio in a secure, FedRAMP-authorized environment. Safeguards require that every report is reviewed, edited and approved by a human officer, ensuring accuracy and ownership of the information. With Draft One, federal agencies can spend less time writing reports and more time focused on serving their community and nation.

The Axon App

The Axon App is a versatile, secure mobile solution for federal agents, officers, and operators in the field. This app enables users to request, upload, and manage evidence—such as body camera footage and field notes—directly from mobile devices. The FedRAMP Authorization for the Axon app for iOS devices is particularly significant, as it ensures stringent cybersecurity measures are in place even when users operate in unpredictable environments. The Axon App empowers users with a secure, on-the-go platform for real-time workflow management, which is invaluable for timely, efficient incident responses and evidence gathering.
