You Build the App.
We Own the Infrastructure,
Patches & Compliance.
Your prime contract requires deploying a custom federal application on FISMA-authorized infrastructure. GovDataHosting provides the compliant IaaS layer — fully managed, monthly OS and middleware patching, FedRAMP High authorized — so your development team ships features, not NIST documentation.

Your Contract Is to Deliver a Working Application — Not to Be a Cloud Ops Team.
Federal custom app contracts are won on technical capability, domain expertise, and delivery track record. But delivering on FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure requires a cloud operations function most contractors don't have or want to build.
Infrastructure Controls Are Your Contractor Liability
Without a FedRAMP authorized CSP, every NIST 800-53 infrastructure control is your team's problem — from access control and audit logging to system integrity and incident response. That's 300+ controls before you deploy a single line of application code.
OS and Middleware Patching Is a Continuous Obligation
Federal systems require continuous patch management. Unpatched OS vulnerabilities, outdated runtimes (Node, Java, Python), and stale middleware are ConMon findings that jeopardize your ATO — and your contract performance rating.
Cloud Infrastructure Ops Consumes Contract Margin
Hiring cloud architects, security engineers, and compliance writers to build and maintain your hosting environment eats margin that should fund development, testing, and innovation — the work your client actually hired you for.

Monthly Infrastructure Patching — Tested Against Your App, Documented for ATO
Infrastructure patching on federal systems isn't optional — it's a ConMon requirement. GDH's automated patch program handles every layer beneath your application code and produces the documentation evidence your ATO package requires.
CVE & Patch Monitoring
We monitor NVD, vendor security advisories, and CISA KEV for applicable CVEs across your specific OS, runtime, and middleware stack — flagging critical vulnerabilities for emergency response.
Continuous
Staging Validation
Patches deploy to a staging replica of your environment — testing for application compatibility, performance regression, and service continuity before any production change.
App-Tested
Production Deployment
Validated patches deploy in coordinated maintenance windows with zero-downtime procedures for stateless workloads and rolling updates for containerized deployments.
Monthly Cycle
ATO Evidence Generation
Every patch is automatically logged as ATO evidence — satisfying NIST 800-53 SI-2 flaw remediation, ConMon patch status reporting, and POA&M closure requirements.
Auto-Documented
From Contract Award to Production Deployment in Four Steps
Scope & Design
We review your application architecture, technology stack, FISMA impact level, and contract requirements — then design the compliant infrastructure environment to match.
Provision & Harden
GDH provisions your dedicated environment, applies DISA STIG hardening, configures CI/CD integration, and validates your application deployment pipeline before ATO begins.
ATO Documentation
300+ inherited infrastructure controls and pre-populated SSP delivered to your ISSO. GDH advisors support the remaining application-layer documentation for your ATO package.
Ship & Operate
Your engineers deploy code. GDH patches infrastructure, monitors threats, produces ConMon reports, and manages ATO — on a fixed monthly subscription aligned to your contract budget.
You Build It. We Host It.
Fully Compliant.
Tell us your application stack, architecture, and FISMA impact level. We'll scope a fixed monthly hosting quote that covers the entire compliant infrastructure layer — so your development team can focus on shipping the application your federal client needs.
