For systems accountable to more than uptime.
DOD / 02

Government integrators
Repeatable cloud baselines for delivery teams building and operating systems on behalf of public-sector customers.
Designed to enter your process—not replace it.
Government systems differ in impact level, data sensitivity, deployment environment, authorization boundary, and contracting requirements. Foundation’s product is the operating-system starting point; the customer’s security process determines whether and how it can be used.
Evaluation questions
- Which baseline and version applies to the workload?
- What application behaviors conflict with the hardened configuration?
- How will images be tested, promoted, replaced, and monitored?
- Which evidence must the system owner retain?
