Defense agencies have 23 more commercial cloud offerings to choose from in the moderate baseline security category. The Defense Information Systems Agency has granted a Department of Defense Provisional Authorization to the 23 offerings, approving them to host mission data up to Impact Level 2.
The approvals were granted March 26 and announced on May 5.
The provisional authorization means that agencies can trust that the offering meets the security standards specified, then consider any additional mission-specific needs before issuing an Authority to Operate (ATO).
DoD defines impact levels based on the sensitivity and risk associated with the data, which was used to establish the minimum protection and controls required. There are four impact levels: 2, 4, 5 and 6, with mandated protections increasing with each successive level. Impact Level 6 is for data classified as Secret.
Impact Level 2 is for Non-Controlled Unclassified Information. It includes all data cleared for public release and some private unclassified information as well.
