FileCloud Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization

In a significant milestone for cybersecurity in the federal sector, FileCloud has announced its achievement of Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High authorization. This development marks a critical step towards enabling U.S. federal agencies to manage and share sensitive information securely, adhering to the most stringent government cloud security standards.

Elevating Security Standards

With this new authorization, FileCloud is now equipped to support workloads that involve Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and other high-impact federal data. This authorization places FileCloud among a select group of Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS) platforms capable of providing substantial security measures necessary for handling the most sensitive federal workloads.

Achieving the FedRAMP High status is no small feat; it requires compliance with over 420 rigorous security controls. Jason Dover, Chief Product Technology Officer at FileCloud, emphasized that this accomplishment illustrates the company's commitment to meeting the needs of the federal market and bolstering security for its clients. The authorization not only validates FileCloud's focus on security and compliance but also facilitates its customers' CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) requirements.

Enhancing Collaboration and Compliance

Federal agencies consistently rely on FileCloud due to its robust architecture that integrates hyper-secure features and granular governance controls. These capabilities empower agencies to collaborate securely, both internally and externally, all while maintaining visibility and control throughout the content lifecycle. The platform includes:

• - Advanced Encryption for data at rest and in transit,
• - Fine-grained Access Controls,
• - Comprehensive Audit Logging,
• - Policy-driven Data Governance.

Such features are vital for federal entities tasked with safeguarding sensitive information against potential threats.

Partnership with FedHIVE

To ensure compliance with high-impact security requirements, FileCloud has established a collaboration with FedHIVE, a FedRAMP-authorized high-impact cloud environment. This partnership allows federal customers, especially those with CMMC requirements, to utilize FileCloud's powerful collaboration platform within a controlled, secure environment. FedHIVE’s role is crucial; their infrastructure is designed to deliver comprehensive security and continuous compliance.

Michael Cardaci, CEO of FedHIVE, acknowledged FileCloud's accomplishment, highlighting the importance of trusted partnerships in achieving security goals for federal missions. The combination of FileCloud and FedHIVE enhances operational efficiency, allowing agencies to advance critical projects while initiating necessary modernization efforts.

Supporting a Variety of Use Cases

• - Secure document sharing and collaboration,
• - Records retention,
• - Regulatory compliance,
• - Chain-of-custody tracking,
• - Controlled collaboration with external contractors and partners.

Agencies are able to deploy FileCloud in various environments, whether government cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions, depending on their specific needs.
