AvePoint (NASDAQ: AVPT), the global leader in data security, governance, and resilience, today announced the AvePoint Online Services cloud platform has achieved FedRAMP Authorization.
This authorization signifies AvePoint Online Services security controls have been rigorously evaluated and its SaaS solutions approved for use across all federal agencies at the moderate impact level.
AvePoint Online Services is a suite of software-as-a-service solutions for migrating, managing and protecting data in Microsoft 365 to enable government agencies to be compliant with their digital collaboration. This includes Microsoft 365 backup, records management, permissions management, Microsoft Teams/SharePoint workspace management and more.
The Department of Energy served as the agency sponsor with Maria Levesque, the director of records management, leading the initiative from the agency side.
As a result of this authorization, the Department of Energy will be able to modernize and further automate its approach to records management in SharePoint and Teams compliance with the M-19-21 NARA mandate.
More than 400 public sector organizations, including 163 federal agencies, use AvePoint solutions to migrate, manage and enhance protection of their Microsoft 365 and SharePoint data.
"Agencies are starting to take advantage of the Microsoft cloud and the more advanced collaboration services in higher numbers than ever. But as they do so there is also too much data being created in too many places for traditional, manual compliance processes to handle," said Taylor Davenport, Executive President US Public Sector, AvePoint. "This implementation by the DOE demonstrates how federal agencies can modernize their records management program alongside their overall digital transformation efforts."
“Agencies can achieve compliance more cost effectively and painlessly by implementing automated solutions for managing, protecting and securing their digital collaboration systems,” said Rick Wagner, corporate vice president, Microsoft Federal. “Any agencies that are encountering barriers to their digital transformation efforts will benefit by being able to access AvePoint’s FedRAMP authorized solutions as well.”
