# FIPS Compliance for PingDirectory

The [Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program](https://www.fedramp.gov/) (FedRAMP) could require that United States government agencies and organizations that work with those agencies ensure that their cloud-based services adhere to either the [FIPS 140-2](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/140-2/upd2/final) or [FIPS 140-3](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/fips/140-3/final) specification. These specifications define requirements for cryptographic processing.
