Microsoft today announced the launch of a new offering for its mission-critical Azure Government cloud targeted at government customers and partners that regularly work with top-secret classified data.
“Today, we are announcing the expansion of our mission-critical cloud for US Government with new capabilities in Azure Government, the expansion of Azure Government Secret, and the announcement of a new cloud to serve customers with Top Secret classified data—Azure Government Top Secret,” Tom Keane, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Azure Global, said.
Microsoft is still working with the US Government on accreditation for the newly launched Azure Government Top Secret regions according to Keane.
Keane also shared the list of all available options for US Government customers based on compliance requirements, a list which also includes the commercial public version of the Azure cloud, next to the Azure Government and Azure Government Secret offerings.
Microsoft provides access to Azure Government offerings only to US federal, state, local, tribal governments, and their partners, with operations in these cloud regions available only to screened US citizens.
Azure Government also offers a comprehensive level of certifications designed to simplify even the most critical government compliance requirements.
