"State and local governments need technology solutions that help them serve their constituents quickly and efficiently while also maintaining a strong security posture that protects their data," said Kurt Sauer, Chief Information Security Officer at DocuSign. "We're thrilled to have two of our core products be StateRAMP Authorized to help state and local governments provide vital services in a seamless and trusted way."

DocuSign state, local and education customers can now use DocuSign solutions like Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) and eSignature (DocuSign Federal) in the StateRAMP-authorized environment to reclaim the time spent on paper-intensive, manual processes and improve constituent experiences while increasing information security.
