Security - FedRAMP

Federal agencies face extraordinary challenges in today’s environment. They’re tasked with modernizing legacy infrastructure, applications, improving government efficiency, and cutting costs while defending critical data from cyberattacks, meeting stringent compliance requirements, and navigating a rapidly changing workforce. As agency work expands across various geographic and organizational boundaries, security and compliance challenges become even more significant and burdensome. Teams and employees now need to access sensitive information from remote locations.

To help with these challenges, Assembly Software is excited to share that we are deploying the required services and security controls to achieve FedRAMP High Authorization for our industry-leading, award-winning enterprise case management application, NeosGov. This authorization will be covering all NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 standards and 421 security controls, which allows U.S. government agencies to leverage the Assembly Software’s NeosGov SaaS platform.

Microsoft 365 has stronger security for businesses dealing with sensitive information

Advanced Threat Protection

Microsoft 365 offers advanced threat protection features for Microsoft 365. These services provide robust email filtering, anti-malware, and anti-phishing capabilities, protecting users from a wide range of threats. G Suite also includes security measures, but Microsoft 365's advanced threat protection features provide a more comprehensive defense against sophisticated attacks.

Identity and Access Management

Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), which integrates with Microsoft 365, offers powerful identity and access management features. It supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) and conditional access policies, allowing organizations to enforce strong authentication methods and control access based on various factors. G Suite has similar features but when compared to Azure AD's integration with the broader Microsoft ecosystem, it is weaker.

Information Protection

Microsoft 365 provides robust information protection capabilities, including data loss prevention (DLP), encryption, and rights management. With tools like Microsoft Information Protection and Azure Information Protection, users can classify and protect sensitive information across various Microsoft 365 applications, even when data is shared externally. While G Suite offers some data protection features, Microsoft365 offers more advanced control and enforcement options.

Secure Collaboration

Microsoft Teams, a central component of Microsoft 365, emphasizes secure collaboration. It offers end-to-end encryption of chat messages, secure guest access, and data loss prevention controls within team collaboration spaces. While G Suite provides similar collaboration features through Google Workspace, Microsoft's focus on enterprise security and compliance gives Microsoft 365 an edge in terms of providing secure collaboration environments.

Compliance and Certifications

Microsoft actively maintains compliance certifications and undergoes regular audits to ensure data security and privacy. While G Suite also maintains compliance certifications, Microsoft 365's broader compliance coverage and Microsoft's extensive experience in regulatory compliance make it a preferred choice for organizations with stringent security requirements.
