Socrata Clears FedRAMP, Embraces Non-Open Data

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-06-09

Summary:

"Socrata is not just focusing on open data anymore.

The company announced June 7 that it’s achieved FedRAMP authorization, a strict federal security standard for cloud-based technology that many states and local governments use as well, and with it launched a product that will focus on internal government data.

For now, the product has a distinctly federal flavor — it’s called Socrata for Federal Government — but Socrata CEO Kevin Merritt told Government Technology that some states have already shown interest in using it. That’s because some state IT officials, in a bid to push agencies away from creating bespoke systems, require those agencies to meet the underlying controls and processes behind FedRAMP anyway."
