Chronus, the leader in Government mentoring software, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, announced that Chronus has attained Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) Moderate authorization for its platform security, enabling Federal agencies and their contractors to securely deploy and scale mentorship and connection community programs. This milestone confirms Chronus meets one of the most stringent security and compliance frameworks established by the U.S. Government.
FedRAMP is a U.S. Government-wide program that promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the Federal Government. With this authorization, Chronus is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace, giving Public Sector organizations access to a robust, compliant and scalable solution for mentorship, employee communities and talent development initiatives.
The FedRAMP authorization complements Chronus' existing DoD IL4 (Department of Defense Impact Level 4) provisional authorization. By meeting the rigorous standards of both FedRAMP and DoD IL4, Chronus is uniquely positioned to support Federal initiatives in leadership development, onboarding, employee engagement and workforce productivity—ensuring sensitive data is protected at every stage.
What this means about Chronus’ approach to security:
- The platform has met over 325 security controls aligned with NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 4, ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive Government data.
- It is deployed on AWS GovCloud (U.S.), a high-security cloud environment designed to meet stringent Federal compliance, sovereignty and data protection requirements.
- Chronus implements a Zero Trust architecture, enforcing strict identity and access management (IAM), least privilege principles, micro-segmentation and continuous monitoring to minimize risk across the attack surface.
- Security features include data encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication (MFA), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) integration, continuous diagnostics and mitigation (CDM) capabilities and detailed audit logging for compliance and traceability.
- The platform is assessed by an accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), ensuring independent validation of controls and ongoing compliance posture.
