PSI Services Advances Towards GovRAMP Certification
Introduction
In an ongoing commitment to enhancing security and compliance, PSI Services, a company under the ETS umbrella, is making strides towards achieving GovRAMP certification. This move is a part of their strategic investment aimed at better serving government clients, further cementing their reputation as a trusted leader in secure cloud-based assessment solutions.
Understanding GovRAMP Certification
The Government Risk and Authorization Management Program (GovRAMP) provides a standardized approach to security assessment for cloud services used by federal agencies. Achieving GovRAMP certification demonstrates a provider's adherence to federal security standards, ensuring that government clients can trust in their infrastructure and data protection measures. PSI's active participation in the program signals its readiness to meet these rigorous standards, reflecting a solid commitment to maintaining the highest security protocols for public sector engagements.
A Major Investment
The journey towards GovRAMP certification is just one part of PSI’s multi-million dollar investment in enhancing its services for government clients. This proactive approach involves extensive collaboration with third-party assessment organizations (3PAOs) such as Schellman and SecureIT, who are currently validating PSI’s secure cloud platform. Their evaluation ensures that PSI aligns with stringent government security requirements, reinforcing the company’s capability to handle substantial contracts that demand innovative and compliant testing infrastructures.
Commitment to Security and Compliance
PSI is not only working towards GovRAMP certification but is also making significant progress towards FedRAMP compliance, setting itself apart in the assessment market. This commitment to security encompasses ongoing investment in programmatic security initiatives and active participation in national working groups focused on the future of secure cloud-based assessments. Janet Garcia, CEO of PSI, emphasizes that achieving these certifications is a strategic priority that highlights PSI's leadership in providing secure and scalable solutions for government agencies.
Leading the Charge in Secure Assessments
As PSI moves forward with GovRAMP and FedRAMP initiatives, the company continues to support esteemed government clients including the Department of Transportation, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Homeland Security. PSI adheres to rigorous compliance measures, including established commercial standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, ensuring a multi-layered and proactive approach to security across all operational environments.
Future of Cloud-Based Assessments
Leah McGrath, Executive Director of GovRAMP, stated her excitement regarding PSI's initiatives within the GovRAMP Security Program. She notes that PSI's investments in robust, scalable controls are essential in cultivating a proactive security culture throughout the public sector. This kind of forward-thinking approach aligns perfectly with the rising expectations surrounding secure cloud delivery in the marketplace.
