What is FedRAMP?

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a U.S. government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. FedRAMP is designed to ensure that cloud services meet the security requirements of the U.S. federal government.

FedRAMP has three levels of authorization: Low, Moderate, and High. Commvault Cloud for Government has achieved FedRAMP High authorization, which means it meets the most stringent security requirements set by the U.S. federal government.

FedRAMP High Authorized: Unlocking the Highest Level of Security

FedRAMP High is the highest level of security authorization for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that can be achieved by a cloud service provider. It is designed to protect data considered critical or subject to strict regulatory requirements. To achieve FedRAMP High authorization, Commvault Cloud for Government underwent a rigorous security assessment process that included an examination of its security controls, policies, and procedures, and demonstrated that it could meet the security requirements of the U.S. federal government, which include:

• The most stringent FedRAMP and Azure Government Community Cloud (GCC) High data security controls.
• Required Data Sovereignty access, identification, and incident response controls necessary for Impact Level 5 DoD Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements.
