Government Solutions
Government entities face many of the same compliance, operational efficiency, and lifecycle stability issues that the commercial sector does. Stable, highly available computing environments are essential for many services that constituents depend on. Additionally, organizations in both the Defense and Civilian Agencies need to comply with increasingly stringent regulations, while facing both budget and human resource tradeoffs.
IT Regulatory Compliance
Government agencies not only help write many regulations and requirements, but are also subject to them. Regulations like the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), the Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC), and the Defense Information Systems Agency's (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) all call for compliance to standard configurations, builds, and security postures. Based on the simple notion of "build good, stay good", SignaCert helps government agencies assess their compliance to these regulations and detect deviations from their desired and expected state over time.
IT Operational Efficiency
Most government agencies must manage dynamic and complex IT environments in the face of increasingly complex and high-velocity threat vectors. Maintaining mission readiness is a critical part of any IT-based government endeavor. SignaCert solutions can radically improve IT-system situational awareness and visibility. Preconfigured and known-provenance references, along with high-resolution change detection, dramatically reduce risk, while serving to lower the cost of business services delivery.
IT Lifecycle Stability
IT systems form the backbone of any automated business process. Stable, predictable, and secure service delivery is crucial, no matter which services are being delivered. SignaCert solutions ensure the effective transfer of specific software builds and configurations from the development environment through production. Moreover, and often neglected, SignaCert solutions enable monitoring and maintenance of precise software builds with an unprecedented level of certainty throughout the service delivery cycle.
