Acquia, the leader in open digital experience software, is announcing that Acquia Cloud Next—the enterprise-grade, Kubernetes-native Drupal hosting platform—has achieved Authorized status from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). This achievement reflects Acquia’s investment in the public sector as the only commercial Drupal hosting company to meet U.S. federal government security standards, according to the company.
Acquia Cloud Next is an iteration of the Acquia Cloud Platform, designed as an enhanced, Kubernetes-based solution for continuously and automatically monitoring application uptime and performance. Acquia Cloud Next also helps detect failures, reroutes traffic, and dynamically scales for optimal application performance—without the need for human intervention.
Having adhered to the FedRAMP “do once, use many times” security assessment framework, Acquia Cloud Next complies with a variety of industry standards, including ISO 27001, HIPAA, SSAE18/SOC 1/ISAE-3402, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS.
This announcement also debuts Acquia Cloud Next on the FedRAMP Marketplace, the central, online portal of approved cloud service offerings available for federal government use.
“Acquia is fully committed to delivering the industry’s strongest assurances around Drupal security, scalability, and performance for our federal customers,” said Robert Former, chief information security officer at Acquia. “At the same time, upholding the industry’s most stringent information security and reliability standards benefits all organizations who operate on Acquia technologies, whether in the public or private sector, that require the highest levels of security.”
