The CoSo Cloud platform for unified communications, already being used by over a dozen government agencies and more than a million end users, is a secure, reliable private-cloud solution designed to protect the mission-critical communication and collaboration of the United States government. By achieving the FedRAMP ATO certification, ConnectSolutions is officially recognized by the US government as a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) that meets the most stringent cloud security requirements in government today.

"With the US government's official endorsement of the CoSo Cloud platform as a FedRAMP compliant cloud solution, CoSo has reached a critical milestone in the secure delivery of unified communications to government agencies and their constituents," said ConnectSolutions CEO Glen Vondrick. "With CoSo, organizations can deploy world-class collaboration and training systems that meet the most stringent of security, reliability, and scalability demands."

FedRAMP is a government-wide program providing a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Its primary goal is to help government agencies migrate to the cloud in a secure manner by endorsing and certifying cloud service providers that have met the most rigorous testing available. FedRAMP is the result of close collaboration with cybersecurity and cloud experts from the General Services Administration (GSA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Defense (DOD), National Security Agency (NSA), Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council, and its working groups. Several of these agencies are among those in ConnectSolutions' customer portfolio, including the DHS.

You can find the CoSo FedRAMP Package, listed under the list of compliant CSPs and currently in standard post-ATO PMO review, at the CoSo FedRAMP site.
