What This Enables for Government and Healthcare Organizations
For federal agencies and defense health organizations, the ETHERFAX certification means they can now adopt cloud-based faxing without custom security assessments or exceptions. The FedRAMP authorization package is available for agency review through the FedRAMP Marketplace, dramatically reducing the procurement timeline.
For healthcare organizations in the defense health ecosystem, including military treatment facilities, VA contractors, and TRICARE providers, the IL5 certification provides assurance that ETHERFAX meets the security requirements for handling sensitive patient information in a DoD-connected environment.
Security Capabilities Underlying the Certification
The FedRAMP High IL5 authorization reflects the depth of ETHERFAX's security architecture:
- Data encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2+
- FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules
- Continuous monitoring with automated alerting and incident response
- Physical security controls at DISA-compliant data center facilities
- Role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication
- Comprehensive audit logging with tamper-evident records
