Secure Sovereign Clouds
for Government and Public Sector.
Hosted, co-managed or dedicated clouds for federal, state, provincial and municipal governments and their suppliers, in the United States and Canada, engineered to support CMMC, CPCSC, ITAR and Protected B.
How Does Altanora Help Government Organizations?
Altanora gives public sector organizations secure, sovereign cloud environments where citizen and controlled data, backups and administration stay in-country. Agencies and suppliers choose how much they run themselves: self-managed, co-managed or fully managed, in segregated multi-tenant or dedicated single-tenant environments, with their own Microsoft 365 and application licenses.
Environments are hosted on infrastructure aligned with ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018, SOC 2 Type II and SOC 1 Type II, with secure virtual desktops so data never lands on user devices. Data centers are in the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia.

Government FAQ
What is a sovereign government cloud?
A secure cloud environment where government and controlled data, backups, logs and administration stay in one country, under that country's laws.
Where is government data hosted?
In the United States or Canada for public sector workloads, with data centers also available in the UK and Australia. Your data stays in the country you choose.
Can you support CMMC and CPCSC?
Yes. Environments are engineered to support CMMC Level 2 and CPCSC Level 2 controls based on NIST SP 800-171 and ITSP.10.171. See Sovereign CMMC and CPCSC Enclaves.
Do you support Protected B?
Yes. Environments are engineered to support GC Protected B when deployed on Government of Canada-authorized infrastructure, with cleared support personnel.
What about FedRAMP?
When a program requires FedRAMP, we design on FedRAMP-authorized platforms such as Azure Government or AWS GovCloud.
Can we bring our own licenses?
Yes. Bring your own VDI licenses, such as Citrix, Omnissa or Microsoft AVD, along with your Microsoft 365, Adobe and application licenses. Or have VDI licensing bundled with our services in one per-instance price.
Can our suppliers and contractors use the environment?
Yes. Desktop as a Service is part of our core sovereign cloud services. Extend your secure environment to suppliers, contractors and partner agencies with secure virtual desktops, so data stays inside your boundary and their devices are only access points.
