FedRamp

Silo is a FedRAMP-authorized service. It has been assessed and approved as a cloud service offering (CSO) that meets the stringent security requirements to process, store, and transmit federal government data.

Silo was granted FedRAMP authorization as a moderate impact system on March 29, 2021. Granted via Agency Authorization, Silo was assessed by a FedRAMP-authorized third-party assessment organization (3PAO), reviewed by a customer Agency Authorizing Official (AO), granted an Authority to Operate (ATO), and verified by the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO). Any Agency AO can reference Silo’s FedRAMP Security Package to assess its security, review customer responsibilities, and grant an ATO that permits usage of the system.

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) was established to provide a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud services. Based on NIST standards, especially NIST SP 800-53, FedRAMP ensures compliance with FISMA requirements, provides Department of Defense reciprocity at Impact Level 2 (IL2), and helps to ensure a system meets DFARS security requirements for the processing of Controlled Unclassified Information. Among FedRAMP’s goals are the acceleration of the adoption of secure cloud services, increasing confidence in those services’ security and the assurance of consistently applied security practices.

As a public cloud offering in the FedRAMP marketplace, both Federal Agencies and commercial organizations can leverage Authentic8’s FedRAMP authorization. US government employees and contractors can request a copy of the Silo FedRAMP Security Package from the FedRAMP PMO by filling out a FedRAMP package access request form and emailing it to info@fedramp.gov.
