How a New Certification Helps You Keep Your Business Secure and Compliant

In an era where data breaches and cyber threats have become an unavoidable reality, securing sensitive information has never been more critical. For companies that handle government data, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMPⓇ) certification is the gold standard for showing a commitment to robust security measures. Security Center, which lets your IT team and administrators centrally view, monitor, and manage security health across all their business units, is now certified for FedRAMP High IL4/IL5, making it easier to keep your compliance and security posture in good health.

Streamline your government data protection

The new Privacy Center and Security Center features in Government Cloud help you centralize your information and save time.

Why is obtaining FedRAMP important?

The FedRAMP certification is a testament to our dedication to providing top-tier security solutions for government agencies and organizations entrusted with sensitive data. This rigorous certification process, compared to prior levels, ensures that Security Center meets the stringent assessments, security, and compliance standards set by the U.S. government. Not only does this help safeguard data, but also gives admins and customers the peace of mind to focus on their mission-critical tasks. This is important for high-impact work within local, state, and federal organizations.
