Thomson Reuters Achieves FedRAMP Certification for Legal Research and Risk & Fraud Solutions
FedRAMP certification enables U.S. Government agencies to use Thomson Reuters trusted, Fiduciary-Grade AI™ solutions to support mission-critical work
The work of government carries a unique responsibility. Every day, public sector professionals make decisions that affect legal outcomes, safeguard public resources, support regulatory compliance, and help agencies fulfill their missions. As agencies modernize and explore the potential of AI, they need more than technology alone. They need trusted information, proven expertise, and AI built to support transparency, accountability, and confident decision-making.
Thomson Reuters announces FedRAMP certification for its Legal Research and Risk & Fraud solutions, including Westlaw, Practical Law and CLEAR. This certification helps expand federal agencies’ access to secure cloud-based legal, regulatory, investigative, and risk intelligence capabilities. Combined with Thomson Reuters Fiduciary-Grade AI™ principles and authoritative legal, regulatory, and risk content, these solutions help U.S. government professionals accelerate research, strengthen investigations and manage risk. Together, this supports informed decision-making while helping agencies meet rigorous federal security requirements.
The certification was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), reflecting the confidence federal agencies have placed in Thomson Reuters solutions and supporting broader access to secure, mission-critical technology across government.
Supporting High-Stakes Government Decisions
The volume and complexity of information government professionals must navigate continues to grow. At the same time, agencies are expected to move quickly while maintaining transparency, accountability, and public trust.
For example, government attorneys can now conduct legal research in Westlaw in plain language, receive answers grounded in primary law, validate authorities with KeyCite®, and review briefs for citation errors in minutes. Meanwhile, investigators and program integrity teams can search public and proprietary records using CLEAR to detect fraud, identify improper payments, strengthen due diligence, and support complex investigations.
A Foundation of Trust
Thomson Reuters combines authoritative content, deep domain expertise, and Fiduciary-Grade AI™ principles to help agencies surface relevant insights and make decisions with greater confidence. For decades, customers have relied on Thomson Reuters commitment to protecting sensitive information through rigorous security, privacy, and compliance practices, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.
Built on trusted content and designed for appropriate human oversight, our FedRAMP-certified solutions provide government agencies with a secure environment while maintaining control over critical decisions.
Thomson Reuters developed and operates its FedRAMP environment directly and manages its ongoing FedRAMP compliance, providing agencies with a single accountable provider responsible for the security, governance, and operation of the platform. This approach helps reduce complexity and supports a more controlled and transparent security posture.
Looking Ahead
As public sector organizations continue modernizing operations, the need for secure, reliable, and accountable technology will only grow. With a longstanding history of supporting government agencies, Thomson Reuters has provided trusted legal, regulatory, and investigative intelligence to support mission critical outcomes. FedRAMP certification builds that legacy, further expanding access to secure, AI-powered capabilities designed to help agencies work more efficiently, manage risk, and better serve the public.
