CapLinked, a secure collaboration platform trusted by compliance-focused organizations, has announced record growth in private sector deployments of its AWS GovCloud-hosted virtual data room (VDR) platform. Once used primarily by federal agencies and defense contractors, GovCloud is now rapidly gaining traction across finance, healthcare, legal, energy, and life sciences sectors, driven by the need for stronger data sovereignty, audit readiness, and regulatory assurance.

Why it matters

The adoption of AWS GovCloud by private sector companies highlights the growing importance of federal-aligned infrastructure for enterprises that take security and compliance seriously. This trend is driven by the need for robust data sovereignty, audit readiness, and regulatory assurance across various industries.

The details

CapLinked is one of the only enterprise collaboration providers offering a full-featured VDR hosted entirely on AWS GovCloud (US), ensuring alignment with FedRAMP High, DoD IL5, and ITAR requirements. CapLinked customers in the private sector are turning to GovCloud-hosted collaboration for use cases such as M&A involving CUI or export-controlled data, secure investor communications in defense and aerospace transactions, collaboration with federal regulators, and HIPAA and FDA-governed document sharing in clinical and biotech workflows.

What’s next

According to IMARC Group, the U.S. government cloud market is projected to reach over $130 billion by 2030, driven not just by public sector demand, but by spillover adoption in the private sector.
