Apply Government Solutions FedHire is FedRAMP Certified Your Agency’s Federal Talent Acquisition System is Safe and Secure Talk to an Expert We are proud to share that Apply Government Solutions (formerly Monster Government Solutions) has received and continues to maintain FedRAMP agency certification for its flagship federal talent acquisition system, FedHire, through GSA, our agency sponsor. Effective April 7, 2022, Apply Government Solutions is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as Certified, Class C (Moderate), under its previous name (Monster Government Solutions), and current FedHire customers are welcome to request a copy of the FedRAMP Certified System Security Plan (SSP). Please note: Alongside MonsterGov’s rebranding to ApplyGov, our FedRAMP profile will also be updated to reflect our new company and system name (Apply Government Solutions FedHire). FedHire agency system administrators will be notified through the Corner with updates on this change. View ApplyGov FedRAMP Info Securing the Talent Acquisition Mission What does this mean for my agency? The good news is GSA and ApplyGov have already done most of the heavy lifting! Per FedRAMP policy, other federal agencies will be able to reuse GSA’s FedRAMP security package for their own FedHire system Authorization to Operate (ATO). Agencies will still need to review the FedRAMP package against their own unique security needs to make sure any gaps are covered. According to FedRAMP.gov, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program established in 2011 that promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government by providing a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. FedRAMP empowers agencies to use modern cloud technologies, with emphasis on security and protection of federal information. What is ApplyGov's recommendation for my agency? ApplyGov has invested heavily to pursue this FedRAMP certification to ease the security burden on agencies and allow customers to reallocate their security resources for other high-value priorities. We strongly recommend agencies reuse our final FedRAMP security package to issue ATOs for their talent acquisition system. This ensures a pre-reviewed, approved, and certified security package that meets federal guidelines – saving agencies time, money, and valuable resources. How can my agency access and use the FedRAMP package? The information security team at your federal agency should request this package through the FedRAMP Marketplace and receive access through USDA's Connect.gov. To request the package: follow the link embedded here to the ApplyGov FedRAMP information page (currently addressed for Monster Government Solutions), select the “Package Access Request Form” link found below the Package ID, complete the form, and submit per the instructions within the form. For instructions on reusing a FedRAMP certification, you can view the Quick Guide here. Once agencies review our FedRAMP package and accommodate any additional agency-specific controls, the agency can then submit their new ATO to the Marketplace. Once agencies submit their FedRAMP-based ATO, they will be listed among the agencies using our service under the Apply Government Solutions' (formerly, Monster Government Solutions’) page in the Marketplace. What happens after our FedRAMP certification? FedRAMP requires continuous security delivery, assessment, and project-level support and deliverables to maintain the ATO. ApplyGov has invested in internal ISSO resources to manage and support our customers’ security needs. We have also invested in 3PAO advisory and audit services for our continuous security operations and compliance with FedRAMP, which includes annual assessments.
