Aquia helped this U.S. government agency adopt a cloud-based strategy to reduce expenses and enhance computational and processing capabilities to support its mission. Leading the charge, Aquia helped the agency update and migrate its existing 15-year-old on-site data center and access program to the cloud.

A large United States federal agency provides an extensive portfolio of applications and capabilities that must comply with certain federal requirements as part of the broader Risk Management Framework (RMF). Partnering with Aquia, the agency developed a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) — recognizing a decrease in costs, reduction in authorization time, and more.

Valley IT Solutions needed to achieve a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authority to operate (ATO) to retain a key piece of federal business. Aquia jumped in to provide guidance and technical support, allowing the company to retain its federal customer and opening the door for additional federal business as an authorized cloud service provider on the FedRAMP Marketplace.

As an Australian-based company, Nuix uncovered a gap in their knowledge of the U.S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and identified the need for engineering support to ensure their SaaS offering would be FedRAMP compliant.

The absence of a SOC 2 report was impacting a software company’s industry standing and had the potential to affect new business. Working with Aquia’s governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) specialists, the company obtained its SOC 2 report — demonstrating that it maintains best-in-class security standards and showcasing its commitment to data security.
