Government technology built to the rules your agency has to follow
Infrastructure designed for the security, documentation, and reliability standards that government agencies are required to meet — built to those rules from the start, not adapted to them later.

The challenge
Government technology must meet standards that stress most commercial systems
In terms of security, audit requirements, and reliability — government agencies operate at a higher standard than most commercial organizations. The infrastructure has to be built to those standards from the start, not adapted later.
Authorization requirements
FedRAMP authorization — and its state-level equivalents — involves months of documentation, testing, and third-party assessment. Most commercial cloud providers offer FedRAMP Moderate. Government agencies often need High. That's a different architecture.
Data sovereignty and residency
Federal data must stay within US borders and, in some cases, within US-government-controlled facilities. State and local data often has similar requirements. Cloud infrastructure that enforces this architecturally — not just contractually — is a different product.
Procurement and compliance documentation
Government procurement requires documentation that most commercial vendors don't maintain: security planning documents, assessment reports, and formal authorization packages. The paperwork is as important as the technology itself.
Continuous monitoring requirements
FedRAMP (the US federal cloud certification) requires ongoing security monitoring with monthly reports to your designated security officials. Most agencies don't have the internal staff to run this program at scale — it has to be managed by the provider.
Our approach
Purpose-built for public sector requirements
Government cloud isn't a feature we added. It's a purpose-built environment with dedicated operations, cleared staff, and the required authorizations in place.
Top-tier US government cloud certification (FedRAMP High)
Our government cloud meets the highest security certification level available for non-classified government workloads. All required security controls are active and continuously checked. Authorization documentation is maintained year-round.
FedRAMP High · FISMA High
State and local government compliant deployment
State and local government agencies face the same security requirements as federal agencies — with the added complexity of varying state-specific rules. We maintain compliant deployment models that meet these requirements across multiple states.
StateRAMP authorized
Physically separated environments
For workloads that must be completely separate from commercial cloud infrastructure, we offer fully isolated deployment in US government-controlled facilities. Every network connection is explicit, logged, and controlled.
Physically isolated · US-only staff
US export control compliance (ITAR and EAR)
Defense contractors and agencies handling sensitive information under US export control regulations need compliant infrastructure. We maintain the required personnel controls, access restrictions, and documentation.
ITAR · EAR · restricted data handling
Defense contractor certification support (CMMC)
Defense contractors who need to meet the government's security certification requirements need cloud infrastructure that satisfies the technical controls. We provide compliant environments and support the certification process.
CMMC Level 3 · NIST security controls
Continuous monitoring as a service
The required ongoing security monitoring — monthly vulnerability scanning, continuous security event tracking, and regular reports to your designated security officials — is handled by our government operations team. Your agency gets the reports; we run the program.
Continuous monitoring · monthly reporting
Authorization coverage
Authorizations and frameworks maintained
We don't apply for these authorizations when a client needs them. They're maintained continuously so agencies can benefit from our compliance coverage from day one.

Why it matters
"Government technology must meet standards that would stress most commercial systems — in terms of security, auditability, and reliability. We design to those standards from day one, not as an afterthought."
