ETHERFAX has achieved FedRAMP High Impact Level 5 (IL5) authorization, making it one of the most rigorously certified cloud fax platforms available to U.S. government agencies and defense contractors. This certification validates that ETHERFAX's security architecture meets the stringent requirements of the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies handling controlled unclassified information (CUI).
FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is the U.S. government's standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. The FedRAMP High baseline applies to systems where the loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability would have a severe or catastrophic effect on organizational operations.
Impact Level 5 (IL5) is a Department of Defense designation for systems handling CUI, including controlled technical information, privacy data, and other sensitive but unclassified information. Achieving both FedRAMP High and IL5 authorization represents the highest level of cloud security certification available outside of classified systems.
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.
The FedRAMP High IL5 authorization reflects the depth of ETHERFAX's security architecture:
As an ETHERFAX partner, IIS is positioned to help federal health agencies and defense contractors implement cloud fax solutions that meet FedRAMP and IL5 requirements. Our implementation experience spans both commercial healthcare and government health environments, and we understand the specific integration, compliance, and operational requirements of federal deployments.
Organizations looking to modernize fax infrastructure in a FedRAMP-authorized environment should contact IIS to discuss how ETHERFAX's certified platform can be deployed to meet their specific requirements.
