Built for DoD Requirements

Our infrastructure meets the full spectrum of Department of Defense security requirements as defined in the DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (CC SRG), from Impact Level 2 through Impact Level 5 for CUI and National Security Systems.

FedRAMP High P-ATO

Provisional Authorization to Operate at the High impact level. All 421 NIST 800-53 Rev 5 High baseline controls fully implemented and continuously monitored.

DoD IL4 / IL5

Authorized for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and National Security Systems data at Impact Level 4 and 5 per the DoD CC SRG.

DISA STIG Hardened

All systems configured to Defense Information Systems Agency Security Technical Implementation Guides with automated compliance validation.

ITAR Compliant

Full compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations for defense articles and technical data. US-person access controls enforced at all levels.

Impact Levels

Right-Sized Security for Every Workload

Not all defense data requires the same level of protection. Our infrastructure supports multiple DoD Impact Levels so you can match security controls to data sensitivity—optimizing both protection and cost.

Impact Level 2

Non-CUI Workloads

Public-facing and non-sensitive DoD data that doesn't require CUI protections but still needs a FedRAMP-authorized foundation.

  • Public-facing websites and portals
  • Non-sensitive training systems
  • Administrative applications
  • FedRAMP Moderate baseline
Impact Level 4

Controlled Unclassified

CUI requiring FedRAMP Moderate controls plus DoD-specific enhancements for access management, logging, and network protections.

  • Controlled Unclassified Information
  • Personnel and HR systems
  • Logistics and supply chain data
  • FedRAMP Moderate + DoD overlays
Impact Level 5

Higher Sensitivity CUI & NSS

Sensitive CUI requiring additional protection and unclassified National Security Systems. Physically isolated infrastructure with stricter encryption and access controls.

  • National Security Systems (NSS)
  • Mission-critical C2 systems
  • Weapons system technical data
  • FedRAMP High + DoD IL5 overlays
FedRAMP+ Controls

Beyond FedRAMP: DoD-Specific Security

The DoD CC SRG requires additional controls beyond the FedRAMP baseline—known as FedRAMP+. Our infrastructure implements these DoD-specific enhancements to meet the full requirements for defense workloads.

DISA STIG Configurations All operating systems, databases, and network devices hardened per current DISA STIGs with automated scanning and continuous compliance validation.
FIPS 140-2 Encryption All data encrypted at rest and in transit using FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules. NSA-approved algorithms for sensitive workloads.
US Person Access Control All personnel with logical or physical access to DoD systems are US citizens, verified through background investigation and continuous evaluation.
Incident Response (US-CERT/DC3) 72-hour cyber incident reporting to DC3 and US-CERT. 24/7 SOC with CISA, FBI, and DoD threat intelligence feeds for defense-specific threat awareness.
Network Segmentation & BCAP Dedicated defense network segments with Boundary Cloud Access Point (BCAP) compatible architecture per DISA Secure Cloud Computing Architecture.
Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) Monthly vulnerability scans, annual penetration testing, and ongoing POA&M remediation per DoD continuous monitoring requirements and eMASS integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Defense Agency FAQs

What is the difference between FedRAMP and DoD IL4/IL5?

FedRAMP provides a baseline security authorization for federal agencies. The DoD CC SRG adds additional controls beyond FedRAMP—known as FedRAMP+—specific to defense operations. IL4 handles CUI with FedRAMP Moderate plus DoD overlays, while IL5 addresses higher-sensitivity CUI and National Security Systems, requiring physically isolated infrastructure, stricter encryption, and enhanced personnel vetting.

How does the DoD ATO process work with your infrastructure?

DoD requires either a DoD Provisional Authorization (PA) from DISA or an agency-level ATO for cloud service offerings. Our FedRAMP High authorization provides the foundation, which is then assessed against additional DoD CC SRG requirements. We support the full process including eMASS registration, 3PAO assessment coordination, DISA review, and evidence package preparation.

Are all your support personnel US citizens?

Yes. All personnel with logical or physical access to DoD systems are US citizens. Our SOC analysts, system administrators, and compliance staff are experienced DoD security professionals. We enforce US-person access controls at every tier per ITAR, EAR, and DoD personnel security requirements.

What contract vehicles are available for DoD procurement?

We're available through GSA IT Schedule 70 (MAS), NASA SEWP V, NITAAC CIO-CS, and several DoD-specific vehicles. Our team can help identify the most efficient procurement path for your component's acquisition requirements, whether you're Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or a DoD agency.

How does your bundled approach differ from AWS GovCloud or Azure Government?

Hyperscale providers offer infrastructure, but you still need to separately procure security operations, compliance documentation, ISSO services, STIG hardening, and ATO support—typically from 3-5 additional vendors. Our bundled approach includes all of these in a single contract, eliminating multi-vendor complexity and finger-pointing during incidents or audits.

What is FedRAMP equivalency and how does the new DoD memo affect us?

The DoD's December 2023 memo clarified that cloud services handling CUI must achieve 100% compliance with the FedRAMP Moderate baseline through a 3PAO assessment—no more self-attestation of "equivalency." As a fully FedRAMP High authorized provider, we exceed this requirement entirely, eliminating the compliance risk for your organization.
