Compare AWS GovCloud vs. Nexcess Managed Solutions

Amazon has established specialized Regions tailored for managing sensitive information, regulated operations, and meeting the most rigorous security and compliance standards set by the U.S. government. The AWS GovCloud (US) provides government clients and their partners the ability to develop secure cloud solutions that adhere to various compliance benchmarks such as the FedRAMP High baseline, the DOJ’s CJIS Security Policy, and U.S. ITAR regulations, among others. Additionally, it complies with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the Department of Defense's Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (SRG) for Impact Levels 2, 4, and 5, as well as FIPS 140-2 and IRS-1075. Operated exclusively by U.S. citizens on domestically located servers, both the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and (US-West) Regions ensure that security protocols are upheld. Access to AWS GovCloud (US) is restricted to U.S. entities and root account holders who successfully complete a thorough screening process. This secure environment offers significant advantages for customers aiming to navigate compliance throughout their cloud migration and operational processes, ultimately supporting their mission-critical workloads effectively.
