Unanet Secures FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency
Unanet ERP GovCon has taken a significant step forward by achieving FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency. This is the first of several solutions that are going through a rigorous process to ensure compliance and security for government contractors. With Unanet's expertise in AI-first ERP and growth software, this milestone is set to bolster the confidence of government contractors in managing and protecting sensitive data.
Understanding FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency
FedRAMP, or the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, establishes rigorous cybersecurity standards necessary for government contractors. Unanet's FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency signifies that its ERP solution meets security standards akin to those mandated by FedRAMP Authorization through an independent assessment against NIST 800-53 controls. This gives contractors peace of mind, ensuring that their sensitive information is protected by a robust system validated by a Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO).
Validation Process and Security Measures
The FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency achieved by Unanet is validated through a thorough assessment by ControlCase, a recognized 3PAO. This not only includes a detailed FedRAMP documentation package but also evidence that supports compliance for CMMC certification and DFARS regulations. With this achievement, contractors can approach their compliance journey with confidence, knowing that the comprehensive security measures are in place.
What Experts Are Saying
Mike Jenner, CEO of ControlCase, remarked, "ControlCase recognizes Unanet's achievement of FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency as a testament to their strong commitment to security and compliance. This milestone underscores Unanet's dedication to providing secure, reliable cloud solutions for the government contracting community." This is a key acknowledgment of Unanet's ongoing efforts to enhance security in the cloud services sphere.
Benefits for Government Contractors
Unanet's ability to manage the compliance journey from start to finish allows them to take ownership of the compliance stack end-to-end. This not only enhances auditability and transparency but also delivers stronger security controls overall. With their standard ERP GovCon solution being SOC 2 Type II certified, Unanet is firmly positioned to mitigate risks associated with compliance processes traditionally shared across multiple parties.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Unanet aims to be proactive in protecting its clients' data. Chris Crowder, Unanet's Executive Vice President for GovCon, stated, "Achieving FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency through a direct approach gives GovCons certainty that Unanet is a fully vested partner in the protection and continuous monitoring of their data and information." This reflects Unanet's strategic focus on meeting the high security expectations that government contractors require.
