Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform and Ex Libris Primo® discovery solution have been granted the United States Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)’s Authorization with sponsorship from the Department of Health and Human Services, after a rigorous evaluation that demonstrated the security practices and controls of Ex Libris Alma and Primo meet the U.S. Government’s security requirements for cloud services.
FedRAMP is a U.S. Government-wide program that provides a standardised approach to security assessment, authorisation, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services that federal agencies plan to use. This process validates cloud services throughout the U.S. Government, giving the United States public sector a common framework for establishing trust in cloud services, saving the U.S. Government time and resources.
The Ex Libris Alma and Primo solutions have achieved FedRAMP Tailored Authorization, which is designed to support cloud solutions that are low risk. Because these Ex Libris products fulfilled the security requirements necessary to achieve a FedRAMP Authorization, individual agencies can now expedite the procurement and use of Ex Libris cloud services.
