(firmenpresse) - SACRAMENTO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/29/13 -- RagingWire Data Centers, the nation's premier data center provider, announced today that the company has implemented the NIST 800-53 moderate baseline controls necessary to support its customers' efforts. RagingWire also took the additional step of engaging BrightLine, a licensed CPA firm and the only Type A accredited FedRAMP 3rd Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), to perform an attestation examination of its controls implementation.
"RagingWire's initiative to implement the FedRAMP specific moderate level NIST 800-53 controls should complement the efforts of service providers and systems integrators that work with federal agencies," said Douglas Barbin, principal at BrightLine.
