Is it? I'm not familiar enough with those certifications to know if that requires them to divest of their offerings in China.

It’s not. They’ve held FedRAMP certifications for more than a decade.

The requirements of the certification might change for political reasons.

That's not something that's currently planned, and even if it did, it would take years. Besides, it wouldn't apply anyway; Akamai's China business was already routed through a mainland China company, as required by Chinese law.

It generally takes a long time to change the text of a formal requirement. Changing the meaning of the existing text doesn't take so long.
