Now, Azure Government has controls in place to securely process high-impact level data\u2014that is, data that, if leaked or improperly protected, could have a severe adverse effect on organizational operations, assets, or individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Goodrich, director for FedRAMP\u2019s Program Management Office at the U.S. General Services Administration, affirmed the significance of this news, saying,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">\u201cThe creation of the FedRAMP High Security Baseline is essential in allowing agencies to migrate more high-impact level data to the cloud. Microsoft Azure Government\u2019s Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO) from the FedRAMP JAB is a testament to Microsoft\u2019s ability to meet the government\u2019s rigorous security requirements.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since our March announcement, we continued working closely with the FedRAMP Program Management Office to expand our scope and speed of service accreditation. The Azure Government FedRAMP High accreditation now covers 13 customer-facing services, including Azure Key Vault, Express Route, and Web Apps which were added to the scope in May, representing a significantly more agile pace of accreditation to the benefit of Federal customers.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft remains committed to delivering the most complete, trusted cloud platform to customers. This accreditation helps demonstrate our differentiated ability to support the unique needs of government agencies as they transition to the cloud.var e = document.createElement(&#8220;script&#8221;);e.async = true;e.src = &#8220;https:\/\/ad.atdmt.com\/m\/a.js;m=11087202285054;cache=&#8221;+Math.random()+&#8221;?event=USCMO_OneGov_Vue_Sit_AudienceMSGovSite_LP&#8221;;var s = document.getElementsByTagName(&#8220;script&#8221;)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(e, s);<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azure Government has controls in place to securely process high-impact level data\u2014that is, data that, if leaked or improperly protected, could have a severe adverse effect on organizational operations or, assets, or individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ms_queue_id":[],"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_classifai_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_error":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1515],"post_tag":[],"content-type":[1492],"coauthors":[998],"class_list":["post-1783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-government","content-type-news-and-announcements","review-flag-1593580429-205","review-flag-1593580420-918","review-flag-microsofts-microsofts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
