Using AppExchange with Government Cloud

Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions

AppExchange is a marketplace for packaged configurations called apps. AppExchange apps pass an initial security review before they're offered for use. An independent software vendor (ISV) initiates this review by submitting the app to Salesforce, and this review is distinct from any specific requirement imposed by the United States government. Compatible apps indicate Compatible With Government Cloud in the description.

Some apps have independently acquired Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorizations. However, AppExchange and the apps listed on it aren't included within the authorization boundaries of Government Cloud Plus or Government Cloud Plus - Defense. The United States government compliance frameworks, including FedRAMP and US Department of Defense (DoD) authorizations, don't include apps from AppExchange. Salesforce offers two relevant filters within the AppExchange search functionality to help United States government organizations find ready-to-use apps.
