Leveraging US Cit/Soil to defend Customers Data
In the intricate fabric of our nation’s cyber defenses, safeguarding sensitive government data has become a critical imperative. As federal agencies grapple with the ever-growing sophistication of cyber threats, the deployment of robust strategies becomes paramount. One strategy is the intentional use of US Citizens on US Soil for monitoring and defending networks, a practice that is often required for agencies processing or storing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or other high sensitivity data types or critical infrastructure. Whether you are a public sector agency grappling with monitoring these environments, a cloud service provider required to comply with FedRAMP and DoD CC SRG, or a defense contractor facing DFARS 7012 and CMMC certification, InfusionPoints stands at the forefront of supporting and monitoring our customers requiring 100% US Citizen on US Soil support in our 24/7/365 physical security operations center.
FedRAMP is now law, and is the benchmark for Federal cloud security, setting stringent requirements for cloud service providers to ensure the highest levels of security when handling federal and DoD data. While not explicitly required by FedRAMP, the employment of US Citizens for monitoring and operations seamlessly aligns with FedRAMP's commitment to safeguarding sensitive information and upholding the integrity of federal data environments. Here's a deeper exploration of why government agencies adopt this approach:
Cultural Understanding and Regulatory Compliance:
US Citizens inherently possess a deep understanding of the country's laws, regulations, and cultural nuances. This familiarity provides a foundation for ensuring strict compliance with security protocols, thereby minimizing the risk of unintentional violations that could compromise the integrity of sensitive information and workloads.
Jurisdictional Control and Swift Incident Response:
Placing network monitoring activities in the hands of US Citizens on US Soil provides a level of jurisdictional control critical for responding promptly to security incidents. This not only streamlines the investigative process but also ensures that any potential threats are mitigated swiftly within the legal framework of the United States.
Enhanced Trust and Accountability:
By entrusting network monitoring to US Citizens, there is an inherent level of accountability and transparency. FedRAMP customers can rest assured knowing that their data is being handled by individuals subject to the same legal and regulatory framework that governs them, fostering a relationship built on trust and accountability.
Mitigating Outsourcing Challenges:
The outsourcing of network monitoring to foreign entities may introduce challenges related to time zone differences, language barriers, and varying legal landscapes. By relying on US Citizens on US Soil, these challenges are significantly mitigated, ensuring seamless communication, understanding, and a higher likelihood of adherence to the regulatory environment.
