FISMA Compliant Hosting

Deploying a FISMA-compliant SaaS offering can be a powerful competitive advantage in government markets, and is mandatory across most civilian U.S. federal government application segments. Layered Tech can help you architect, deliver, and sell a successful FISMA-certified SaaS version of your applications with the appropriate security controls required to capture even your most skeptical clients.

SaaS & FISMA Compliance in Federal IT

• SaaS Gains Momentum
  SaaS and cloud computing are gaining broad acceptance across the U.S. federal government via the Cloud First policy that promotes efficiency and enables Open Government initiatives.
• FISMA Compliance Remains a Challenge
  Most internal IT organizations continue to struggle with attaining and maintaining FISMA compliance across all IT systems as the cost, complexity, and associated risks of IT security continue to accelerate.
• FISMA-Certified SaaS Provides the Answer
  For a growing number of federal agencies, outsourcing new IT requirements to FISMA-Certified SaaS solutions is the most efficient and cost-effective route to attain FISMA compliance.

Who Needs FISMA Compliant Hosting?

The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) was signed into law in December 2002 and requires each U.S. federal government agency to implement and support standardized IT security controls as defined by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) for all agency IT systems that support the operations and assets of the agency. The FISMA security framework provides the common standards agencies require to confidently and safely outsource critical applications to external SaaS providers.
