Acquia Cloud Receives Additional FISMA Moderate ATO

Demonstrates Acquia's Commitment, Experience for Supporting Digital Government Initiatives Through Secure, Scalable Cloud Services

(firmenpresse) - BURLINGTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/03/13 -- , where great digital experiences begin, today announced it has received a second Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) Authorization to Operate (ATO) for federal customers using . FISMA compliance provides a path for government agencies to develop next-generation digital experiences with Drupal that incorporate the web, mobile and social communities.

FISMA and its associated National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards provide a risk-based framework to support security best practices for systems managed by federal agencies. Acquia is the first provider to offer enterprise-class Drupal cloud services with a FISMA moderate ATO, which provides insight and assurance in Acquia's ability to deliver secure cloud services for government websites and social communities. The authorization, obtained earlier this year as part of Acquia's work with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, provides documentation to federal agencies that are evaluating the security protocols of Acquia's cloud services.

FISMA compliance for Acquia Cloud at the moderate level attests that required security controls are in place to meet and exceed compliance standards for cloud computing.

In addition to its FISMA ATO, Acquia is focused on achieving FedRAMP authorization. FedRAMP will supersede FISMA for cloud services like Acquia Cloud, enabling streamlined federal authorization for cloud services. Acquia has included FedRAMP controls in its FISMA documentation and is working on FedRAMP authorization for Acquia Cloud. Acquia Cloud is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and utilizes Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), which has .
