Eschat Achieves Fedramp 'In Process' Designation

ESChat for Government offers enhanced privacy and cybersecurity controls, meeting stringent security and compliance requirements of public sector agencies and commercial customers who operate in highly regulated industries.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ESChat today announced it has achieved the "In Process" designation at the Moderate impact level from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP^®).

ESChat for Government is a hardened version of the ESChat broadband communication, collaboration, and interoperability platform. ESChat is a Secure Broadband Push-to-Talk (PTT) communication system that facilitates secure PTT communication, multimedia messaging, and a Common Operating Picture (COP) within and between agencies for mutual-aid or tactical purposes. ESChat for Government also supports external interfaces including Land Mobile Radio (LMR), dispatch consoles, and logging recorders.

The ESChat FedRAMP initiative has been ongoing for the past two years, and this important milestone indicates the company's readiness for an independent third-party audit, sponsor agency ATO, and final review by the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO), which are requirements to achieve the 'FedRAMP Authorized' Designation. ESChat's sponsor in the FedRAMP process is the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

"Our FedRAMP initiative reflects our commitment to privacy and cybersecurity, while facilitating reliable and interoperable Push-to-Talk communication for our customers," said Josh Lober, President of ESChat. "This important milestone validates the efforts of our team and our readiness to enter into the Authorization phase of the FedRAMP process."

ESChat anticipates it will achieve the 'FedRAMP Authorized' designation in the first half of 2025.
