Case Study
Securing GovCloud services with
FedRAMP High compliance

30% faster Authority to Operate (ATO),

40% total cost of ownership (TCO) savings.

Challenge

A leading communications service provider needed to meet strict FedRAMP High standards to serve a large federal client. The client required a scalable platform- and software-as-a-service (PaaS and SaaS) solution built on secure government cloud infrastructure. Achieving compliance, accelerating the ATO process,and managing multi-tenant operations under stringent timelines were critical challenges.

Solution

Hitachi Digital Services designed and implemented a FedRAMP High cloud architecture platform using AWS GovCloud for the service provider. The platform features over 400 NIST 800-53 security controls, Zero Trust principles, compliance automation, and advanced encryption, access control, and auditing tools. Hitachi Digital Services also leveraged automation tools like OSCAL and ServiceNow GRC to streamline compliance, and integrated Okta and CyberArk for secure authentication workflows.  

Results

The platform enabled the provider to achieve FedRAMP High compliance and deploy secure, scalable services for federal clients across 200+ locations. The platform reduces operational risks with automated monitoring and reporting tools tracking vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance with FedRAMP standards over time.

This solution’s multi-tenant architecture allows the provider to expand its public sector offerings. With ongoing support from Hitachi Digital Services, the provider continues to meet the highest security standards while optimizing operations.
