Vendor questions

Is Google Gemini FedRAMP authorized?

Short answer

Yes, with an important catch. The Marketplace listing for Gemini for Government is Class B (Low), which is below the Moderate baseline DFARS names. Google's own deployment guide says Gemini for Government must run inside an Assured Workloads folder for FedRAMP High or IL4, and several features still await DISA review for IL4. Use only that configuration for CUI.

Of the 3 Google Cloud AI paths (including Claude on Vertex) we track, 3 are FedRAMP authorized (Claude on Vertex AI with Assured Workloads: High; Gemini for Government: Low (Marketplace) / High via Assured Workloads (Google); Generative AI on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI), Assured Workloads: High).

For CUI, the ones with a "Yes, with conditions" answer are Claude on Vertex AI with Assured Workloads, Gemini for Government and Generative AI on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI), Assured Workloads.
