Case Study: a Federal Government client achieves FISMA Moderate compliance with Effectual's AWS infrastructure

Federal Government achieves full ATO and lower-latency cloud desktops with Effectual

The federal government customer faced the challenge of migrating from outdated on-premises infrastructure to a secure and flexible cloud environment. They required a solution that would meet FISMA Moderate requirements for production systems and allow for a technology refresh. Effectual was engaged to lead this transition to AWS infrastructure.

Effectual designed and implemented a multi-region AWS architecture that provided users with low-latency access to virtual desktops. This solution enabled the agency to achieve a full Authority to Operate (ATO) under FISMA Moderate controls. The results included increased security, scalable infrastructure provisioning that cut costs, and improved network efficiency with reduced latency for end users.
