FedRAMP High Authorization and NIST 800-53

Federal services carry the highest FedRAMP baseline, mapped to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 with continuous monitoring and 3PAO assessment.

FedRAMP High

My Verizon Business holds FedRAMP High authorization for the services federal agencies use to carry and process sensitive but unclassified information — including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as defined by the National Archives. Authorization includes continuous monitoring, monthly vulnerability scanning, annual assessment by a Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), and incident reporting integrated with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's reporting framework. Authorization evidence is accessible to agency authorizing officials through the FedRAMP Marketplace and through the Verizon Business Login compliance dashboard. Links to the authoritative SEC EDGAR filings are available where public disclosures reference these authorizations.

NIST 800-53 Rev. 5

Services map to NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 control baselines — Low, Moderate, and High — with documented inheritance relationships. Federal contractors reference the Verizon Business control catalog during system security plan preparation, and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 preparation packages align Level 2 controls to the same mapping. Control summaries are available to agency ISSOs and contractor CIOs through the compliance dashboard. Policy updates propagate within hours of publication, and the continuous monitoring stack posts evidence to the dashboard daily.

FirstNet Interoperability and Public Safety

Public safety communications bridge FirstNet, state radio systems, and enterprise services. My Verizon Business engineers the interop paths that keep responders connected during the events that matter most.

FirstNet Peering and PTT Interop

Federal, state, and local public safety agencies using FirstNet interoperate with My Verizon Business enterprise services through standards-based peering for Push-to-Talk, location sharing, and incident coordination. Mutual aid deployments during wildfires, hurricanes, and special events rely on the interop path to bridge FirstNet responders with state emergency management, public works, and hospital incident command. Interop planning engagements coordinate with the responsible agency radio officer, and tabletop exercises validate the configuration before live incidents exercise it.

Body-Worn Camera and In-Car Video

Law enforcement agencies backhaul body-worn camera (BWC) video, in-car video, and evidence photos over Verizon 5G with prioritized bandwidth. Upload completes at end-of-shift or on trigger events like officer-involved incidents. Integration with digital evidence management systems preserves chain of custody and automates redaction workflows. Audit trails satisfy CJIS Security Policy requirements and the retention schedules local prosecutors specify for investigatory records.

State, Local, and Federal Contractor Services

Procurement vehicles and authorization frameworks matter as much as the technology. My Verizon Business meets government buyers where they are.

State and Local Networks

State and local governments deploy WAN connectivity for state networks, municipal broadband for public Wi-Fi, Private 5G for campus and public-safety uses, SD-WAN for county offices, IoT for smart-city sensors (traffic, water, environmental), and body-worn camera backhaul for law enforcement. Services align with StateRAMP and state-specific certification frameworks. Cooperative purchasing vehicles — NASPO ValuePoint, OMNIA, state master contracts — are supported for streamlined procurement. Grant-funded deployments through federal programs align to reporting templates that post automatically from the compliance dashboard.

Federal Contractor Support

Defense industrial base (DIB) contractors and civilian agency primes run on services that inherit FedRAMP Moderate or High, supply CMMC 2.0 Level 2 control evidence, and integrate with agency SIEMs through encrypted export channels. CUI handling is documented end-to-end, and supply chain risk management controls are mapped to Executive Order 14028 guidance. Contractors receive pre-built control narratives for System Security Plans, Plans of Action and Milestones, and continuous monitoring reports during the authorization process.

Public Sector Customers on My Verizon Business

Agency CIOs, state technology officers, and public safety leaders share outcomes.

"FedRAMP High authorization plus the NIST 800-53 control mapping cut six months off our ATO schedule. We reused the Verizon Business evidence packages for our SSP and closed out the assessment ahead of fiscal year end."

Colonel (ret.) James Whitehorse — Agency ISSO, Federal Civilian Department

"Our statewide WAN carries Medicaid, DMV, and court traffic across 87 counties. Migrating to SD-WAN with StateRAMP-aligned services cut circuit spend by 22% and gave our county clerks faster access to the systems they use every day."

Karen Mulholland — State CIO, Midwestern State Government

"FirstNet interop with our county emergency services saved two critical hours during last year's wildfire. PTT bridged our deputies with state CAL FIRE units without radio patch gymnastics — and the incident commander had one console instead of three."

Chief Deputy Rafael Ortega — Sheriff's Office, Western U.S. County
