On April 22nd Dell Services Federal Government’s (DSFG) cloud offering received the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization which means that Dell Cloud for U.S. Government (DSG), DSFG’s multi-tenant cloud platform has met the security standards and requirements of the Federal Information Security Management ACT (FISMA).
The Federal Risk and Authorization Program (FedRAMP) is a risk management program that provides a standardized approach for assessing and monitoring the security of cloud products and services. The FedRAMP Provisional Authorization to Operate (P-ATO) certification was granted to DSFG as a result of the Joint Authorization Board’s (JAB) review. InfusionPoints, LLC, a DSFG partner, developed and delivered DCG operations, security and compliance which was key in helping DCG achieve P-ATO. JD Biggs & Associates Inc. was the Third-Party Assessment Organization for DCG that was responsible for testing security controls, briefing the JAB, and continuous monitoring
George Newstrom, President and General Manager of DSFG stated, “This is an exciting time for us – not only because we met the comprehensive requirements and standards of FedRAMP – but we are now even more confident in serving our federal customers and their move to cloud adoption. Our offerings in cloud help federal agencies respond to changing demands, accelerate transition to agile IT environments with security visibility and above all gain efficiency and become future-ready.”
A wide array of cloud offerings are available to DSFG customers which include; the multi-tenant DCG, DSFG’s private and custom cloud offerings, and virtualization and managed services. All of these on-demand, readily scalable services are offered to agencies to provide the flexibility and control to meet ever-changing workloads and at the same time maintain compliance and security.
