CHANTILLY, Va., April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government services provider,
announced today that it is accredited to evaluate cloud-based
solutions for state and local government agencies as a State Risk
and Authorization Management Program (StateRAMP) Third Party
Assessment Organization (3PAO). Perspecta received accreditation
status becoming a StateRAMP 3PAO in February
2021.
StateRAMP requires the same ISO 17020:2012 accreditation for
3PAOs as the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
(FedRAMP) through A2LA. Perspecta renewed their FedRAMP
accreditation through A2LA and the FedRAMP 3PAO program in
2020.
"StateRAMP is bringing state and local governments together to
create a common method for verifying cloud security," said
Rocky Thurston, senior vice
president and general manager of Perspecta's civilian, state and
local business group. "Perspecta is proud to be StateRAMP
accredited. We look forward to partnering with states to ensure
that our cloud-based solutions meet their cybersecurity
standards."
StateRAMP is an independent not-for-profit organization that
helps states reduce cybersecurity risks from unsecure cloud
solutions by providing a common cloud security verification
approach aligned with the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) 800-53 and individual state cybersecurity
standards. StateRAMP partners with FedRAMP 3PAO organizations to
assess cloud service providers (CSP) for accreditation. The
StateRAMP model levels the playing field for CSPs and ensures state
agencies have access to certified, cyber-ready vendors.
