One Vendor. One Contract. Guaranteed Compliance.
DIY government cloud sells you fragments — infrastructure here, security tooling there, an ISSO somewhere else. We bundle FedRAMP High platform services, infrastructure management, security operations, and compliance documentation into a single accountable offering — on the GovDataHosting Cloud Platform or fully managed on AWS GovCloud, backed by a written compliance guarantee.
Deploy on Our Cloud or Yours — Same Bundled Service
Our FedRAMP High PaaS authorization spans both the GovDataHosting Cloud Platform and customer deployments on AWS GovCloud. Pick the underlying infrastructure that fits your procurement, technical, or strategic preference — the managed service, the compliance guarantee, and the bundled outcomes stay identical.
GovDataHosting Cloud Platform
Our own purpose-built government cloud, operated on infrastructure we own and control. Pre-authorized FedRAMP High PaaS with bundled platform management, security operations, and compliance evidence — the fastest path to ATO for agencies and contractors.
- Purpose-built for government workloads since day one
- Fully bundled — no separate IaaS bill or contract
- Predictable fixed-cost pricing aligned to budget cycles
- Maximum control inheritance — fastest time to authorization
AWS GovCloud (Fully Managed)
For agencies and contractors with an AWS GovCloud preference or existing AWS commitments, we deliver the same bundled PaaS service on top of your AWS GovCloud environment — under our FedRAMP High authorization, with our platform management and compliance team.
- Covered by the same FedRAMP High PaaS authorization
- Identical bundled managed services and SLAs
- Leverage existing AWS GovCloud commitments or accounts
- We handle the management — you keep the AWS relationship
We also support managed deployments on Microsoft Azure Government and Google Cloud when customer requirements specifically dictate — though our FedRAMP High PaaS authorization and primary bundled service are focused on the GovDataHosting Cloud Platform and AWS GovCloud.
What Makes GovDataHosting Genuinely Different
Most "FedRAMP" providers sell raw infrastructure and leave you to assemble the rest. We sell outcomes — and we put it in writing.
One Vendor for the Entire Government Cloud Stack
Infrastructure, platform management, security operations, compliance support, disaster recovery, and 24/7 monitoring delivered under one contract and one SLA — replacing the four to six separate vendor relationships most agencies coordinate today. One accountable team owns the audit evidence.
- Replaces 4–6 separate vendors with one contract
- Single accountable point during ATO and audits
- 40% vendor management overhead eliminated
We Own the Infrastructure & Platform Controls
Every NIST 800-53 control covering the infrastructure and platform layers is contractually our responsibility — whether you deploy on the GovDataHosting Cloud Platform or managed AWS GovCloud. You own only your application-layer controls, and we provide the SSP language for those too.
- Pre-populated control responsibility matrix (CRM)
- SSP, SAR, POA&M templates pre-built and audit-tested
- Continuous monitoring evidence delivered monthly
Agencies AND Contractors — One Platform
Federal agencies run their mission systems on our platform. Defense contractors and prime contractors host their CUI under the same FedRAMP High authorization — inheriting our pre-authorized controls instead of building, documenting, and defending their own from scratch.
- Same controls, same evidence, same audit-tested architecture
- Inherited DFARS 7012, NIST 800-171, and CMMC 2.0 compliance
- 2–4 week onboarding for urgent contract deadlines
We Don't Do Commercial Cloud. Ever.
IT-CNP has served federal, state, and local government customers since 2001. Every cloud support engineer holds a US citizenship and criminal check, every data center sits on US soil, and every process was built to pass a government audit — because that's the only audit we take.
- US citizen-only support, engineering, and operations
- GSA MAS, HHS BPA, and NITAAC contract vehicles
- Federal, state, local, and contractor references
GovDataHosting Bundled PaaS vs. Building It Yourself
The "build-it-yourself" path on any government cloud looks cheaper on paper — until you add the security vendor, the ISSO, the compliance consultant, the SIEM, the DR setup, and the 12+ months of buildout time.
Built Differently for Agencies and Contractors
Federal agencies and government contractors face the same compliance regimes but radically different sales cycles, budgets, and pain points. We have a dedicated path for each.

Calculate Your Real 3-Year TCO
Most agencies and contractors underestimate the cost of DIY compliance by 35-50%. Our interactive calculator models infrastructure, security tooling, FTE compliance staff, audit prep, and DR across any government cloud — then shows the bundled GovDataHosting equivalent side by side.

Frequently Asked Before the Conversation
The questions government IT and contractor compliance teams ask us most often during evaluation.
Do you operate your own cloud, or are you a reseller of someone else's?
We operate the GovDataHosting Cloud Platform on infrastructure we own and control — that is our primary offering. We also deliver the same bundled, fully managed FedRAMP High PaaS service on AWS GovCloud for customers who prefer or already use AWS. Our FedRAMP High PaaS authorization covers both deployment models. We also support managed deployments on Microsoft Azure Government and Google Cloud where required.
What does "infrastructure compliance guarantee" actually mean in the contract?
Our contract identifies every NIST 800-53 control that we own as the infrastructure and platform layer provider, and commits to maintaining those controls under continuous monitoring. If a control fails an audit and the failure is on our side of the responsibility line, we remediate at our cost.
How fast can a contractor be production-ready?
Environments build in roughly three days via automation. Full CMMC Level 2 readiness with control inheritance and documentation typically lands in 60–90 days. We have moved primes from RFP win to production in under eight weeks.
Can we buy on existing contract vehicles?
Yes. GovDataHosting is available on GSA MAS, HHS BPA, NITAAC, and Maryland CATS+. We can also work through prime contractors holding agency-specific vehicles. Procurement timelines drop from months to weeks when buying off an existing vehicle.
How does your pricing compare to building it ourselves on government cloud?
Customers typically save 10–40% on three-year TCO once they account for security tooling, FTE compliance staff, audit prep, vendor coordination, and DR — costs the raw IaaS sticker price excludes. The savings apply whether the alternative is DIY on the GovDataHosting Cloud Platform, AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, or Google Cloud. Run our TCO calculator for your specific workload.
Do you support DoD IL4 and IL5 workloads?
Yes. We operate DoD IL2 authorized environments with IL4 and IL5 deployments available, including DISA STIG hardening, CAC/PIV authentication, FIPS 140-2 cryptography, and US persons-only operational coverage as required.
