Orbus Software Secures FedRAMP 'In Process' Designation

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise transformation platform provider Orbus Software today announced that its cloud-native platform built for the US public sector, OrbusInfinity Government, has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) 'In Process' status, bringing a secure, dedicated enterprise architecture platform to the FedRAMP Marketplace. FedRAMP authorization is a legal requirement for federal agencies, ensuring that any cloud service provider working with federal data meets strict security standards. While state and local governments are not mandated to use FedRAMP – since they fall outside federal law – they often look to FedRAMP as a benchmark for cloud security. Many state and local agencies adopt solutions in the FedRAMP Marketplace to benefit from the program's rigorous controls and to streamline their own procurement and risk management processes. OrbusInfinity Government's 'In Process' status marks an important milestone in the platform's journey toward achieving an Authority to Operate (ATO) and FedRAMP Moderate. Reaching Moderate ATO indicates that a solution meets the stringent security requirements for use by any federal agency storing and processing sensitive but unclassified data. Government departments are often held back by security requirements that leave them years behind the private sector, limited budgets, and decades-old technology stacks, all while striving to modernize and accelerate service delivery. An enterprise transformation platform with core capabilities in enterprise architecture, OrbusInfinity Government provides a digital blueprint of the organization, helping align IT investments with mission goals. 'The government sector is grappling with shrinking budgets while addressing ever-expanding security challenges,' said Peter Bates, Chief Product Officer at Orbus Software. 'Cloud solutions provide a way to operate efficiently and adapt quickly. However, agencies need assurance that their mission-critical data and sensitive information are safe. With OrbusInfinity Government designated as FedRAMP 'In Process', government organizations now have a trusted platform to successfully manage complex change and drive government IT and operational efficiency.' Key benefits of OrbusInfinity Government's FedRAMP status include: Industry-leading enterprise architecture capabilities for federal government: OrbusInfinity Government delivers specialist enterprise architecture functionality that enables government agencies to modernize operations, break down silos, and make smarter, faster decisions. Teams can use it to drive cost reduction, accelerate project delivery, and maximize the impact of transformation initiatives. Best-in-class SaaS security controls: Hosted in a secure Microsoft Azure for US Government tenancy, OrbusInfinity Government offers robust, end-to-end security and real-time threat detection to protect the sensitive data of US government departments, and safeguard repositories, artifacts, and blueprints in compliance with federal security standards. Streamlined procurement and deployment: For federal agencies, the FedRAMP Marketplace acts like an 'approved vendor list', reducing the time, effort, and costs required for individual government agencies to vet cloud service providers, and accelerating procurement and deployment. State and local government organizations can also leverage the FedRAMP status to simplify and expedite their own purchasing processes. Risk reduction: The secure cloud-based enterprise architecture platform enables users to gain full transparency into risks, misaligned priorities, and inefficiencies across the business and technical landscape. Government departments can develop actionable roadmaps to mitigate cybersecurity risks, track compliance, accelerate recovery, and provide an auditable trail for every decision. 'With cybercrime showing no sign of slowing, government agencies must ensure that data is secure,' said Oliver Hecquer, Chief Operating Officer at Orbus Software. 'Now, they can more easily and quickly procure and deploy an innovative transformation platform that meets their comprehensive privacy, security, and compliance needs.' Orbus Software is a leading global provider of enterprise transformation solutions, with regional offices in USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Singapore, and Poland. It aims to empower customers with a strategic decision-making platform to successfully manage complex change. The cloud-native OrbusInfinity platform enables leaders to deliver business objectives, innovate faster, and ensure enterprise resiliency, while supporting them to make more informed, responsible, and sustainable business decisions.
