AWS GovCloud (US) Receives an Impact Level 5 (IL5) Department of Defense Provisional Authorization to Support Mission-Critical Systems

Posted on: Sep 12, 2017

Amazon’s AWS GovCloud (US) has achieved a Provisional Authorization (PA) by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) at Impact Level (IL) 5, as defined in the Department of Defense (DoD) Cloud Computing (CC) Security Requirements Guide (SRG) v. 1, Release 3.

In addition to supporting DoD CC SRG IL2 and IL4 workloads, DoD customers may now leverage the PA as a baseline for assessing risk associated with DoD CC SRG IL5 security requirements. This includes planned workloads for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) exceeding the sensitivity level of IL4, as well as unclassified National Security Systems (NSSs).
