State & Local Government FAQs
What is GovRAMP/StateRAMP and do I need it?
GovRAMP (formerly StateRAMP) is a cybersecurity framework that standardizes security for cloud service providers working with state and local governments. Over 32 states now participate. Our FedRAMP High authorization exceeds GovRAMP requirements, meaning your agency can procure our services with confidence that the security bar has already been met.
How does pricing work for state agencies?
We offer fixed monthly pricing that bundles infrastructure, security monitoring, compliance support, and disaster recovery into a single, predictable cost. No consumption-based surprises. Pricing is designed around state fiscal year budget cycles, and we can structure agreements for multi-year terms with consistent pricing.
What contract vehicles can we use to procure?
We're available through Maryland CATS+ (contract #0A162890023), GSA MAS (IT Schedule 70), and additional cooperative purchasing agreements. Our team can help identify the most efficient procurement path for your specific jurisdiction and purchasing requirements.
Can you handle CJIS requirements for our law enforcement systems?
Yes. Our infrastructure meets all CJIS Security Policy requirements including encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication, personnel security screening, advanced authentication, and audit logging. We provide the technical controls and documentation needed for your CJIS Systems Agency audit.
How does FedRAMP compare to state security requirements?
FedRAMP High is the most rigorous civilian security standard in the US, implementing all 421 NIST 800-53 Rev 5 controls. Most state security requirements are based on NIST frameworks at Moderate or lower impact levels. By hosting on FedRAMP High infrastructure, you automatically exceed the requirements of virtually every state compliance mandate.
Do you support multi-state or regional deployments?
Absolutely. Our authorization is jurisdiction-agnostic. Agencies with multi-state or regional operations can leverage a single infrastructure deployment that meets all participating states' requirements. This is especially valuable for interstate compacts, regional health information exchanges, and shared services models.
