Datapipe Expands Government Solutions To Offer Joint Authorization Board (JAB) Provisional ATO FedRAMP Cloud Solutions

05:20:11 - 16 October 2015

Provides Unparalleled Flexibility and Security for Government Agencies

JERSEY CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Datapipe, a leader in secure managed hosting and cloud solutions for the enterprise and government, today announced it has been granted a Provisional Federal Risk and Authorization Program (FedRAMP) Authority to Operate (P-ATO) from the Joint Authorization Board (JAB) for the company’s Federal Community Cloud Platform (FCCP). This is the first ATO issued to a PaaS covering management through the virtual operating system. This new level of certification will enable Datapipe Government Solutions (DGS) – operating out of its headquarters in Reston, Virginia – to provide a cloud environment to government agencies working with sensitive data, delivering the highest levels of security and performance set by FedRAMP’s stringent compliance standards.

“We’re excited to have Datapipe’s FCCP offering as another unique PaaS offering under the FedRAMP JAB. The FCCP solution provides a true PaaS environment authorized up through the virtual operating system, allowing agencies to focus their attention on their applications and databases”

FCCP brings together the benefits of standardized cloud elements such as common tools, processes, and training while affording agencies a level of customization that is not normally available in existing public cloud environments. Government agencies can layer on agency-specific controls in addition to those certified by FedRAMP. Agencies can also take advantage of Datapipe’s hybrid cloud expertise by leveraging FCCP for highly sensitive information with the ability to link with public clouds.

“We’re excited to have Datapipe’s FCCP offering as another unique PaaS offering under the FedRAMP JAB. The FCCP solution provides a true PaaS environment authorized up through the virtual operating system, allowing agencies to focus their attention on their applications and databases,” said Matthew Goodrich, FedRAMP Director.

“DGS has a proven track record of providing cloud services for federal, state and local government agencies,” said Dan Tudahl, President and General Manager, Datapipe Government Solutions. “This FedRAMP Provisional ATO comes at a time when more government agencies are ready to take advantage of the many capabilities cloud brings to the table. As a FedRAMP approved PaaS, a significant amount of additional security controls are met by FCCP versus a standard IaaS. This enables a more rapid path to an agency ATO of the full cloud-based solution.”

Key elements of Datapipe’s FCCP FedRAMP Solution include:

  • Agency dedicated cloud modules
  • Services provided through the virtual operating system
  • Secure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) enablement
  • Ability to support agency-specific security controls

The JAB Provisional FedRAMP ATO is DGS’ latest achievement in a long-standing history of providing secure cloud environments to federal government agencies. With a reputation for consistently meeting stringent security and availability requirements, this FedRAMP P-ATO enables federal agencies to leverage DGS’ layered security approach while saving time and money in the certification and accreditation process.
