DoW IL4/IL5
Your DoW Onboarding Challenge
Meeting DISA’s rigorous security requirements is essential for DoW mission partners, but the Authorization and Assessment (A&A) process can be complex, costly and time-consuming.
Project Hosts simplifies this journey. By onboarding your Cloud IT Projects (C-ITPs) to our IL5-authorized Federal Private Cloud DoW Environment, you inherit the majority of the required security controls which. This significantly reduces your compliance burden and accelerates deployment — making cloud adoption faster, easier and fully aligned with DoW standards.
