In 2025, the proliferation of shadow IT—technology systems and solutions adopted without explicit organizational approval—has escalated to the point that it’s nearly impossible to separate home devices from enterprise infrastructure without serious investment in security and device management. This surge is primarily driven by employees seeking efficient tools to enhance productivity, often bypassing IT departments.
The transition to the cloud has been necessary for most government agencies, even as some might lag in adoption. However, this transition isn’t without its own set of issues, as it introduces a complex array of security challenges that must be addressed to protect sensitive government data and maintain public trust.
Recognizing these challenges, GovRamp (formerly StateRAMP) has emerged as a dedicated partner committed to fostering collaboration for secure cloud adoption across state and local governments.
Incorporating open-source software (OSS) into organizational systems offers numerous benefits, including flexibility, innovation, and cost savings. However, for entities operating under stringent regulatory frameworks such as CMMC, FedRAMP, and HIPAA, adopting OSS requires careful consideration to ensure compliance.
This article explores the effectiveness of OSS within these regulations and outlines the essential measures organizations must implement to align their OSS usage with mandated security and compliance standards.
