DSS Health Cloud wins FedRAMP High certification

DSS, Inc. said its DSS Health Cloud has received FedRAMP High, or Class D, certification, making it the first solutions provider and integrator to the Department of Veterans Affairs to earn the designation. The approval opens the platform to federal and commercial customers seeking a secure cloud base for health IT and electronic health records.

Why it matters: - FedRAMP High is the federal government’s highest cloud security tier for sensitive data, including protected health information and mental health records. - The certification can help agencies modernize systems, reduce administrative burden and improve patient care without building new infrastructure from scratch. - DSS Health Cloud is now positioned for broader use by federal agencies, contractors and commercial health care organizations.

What happened: - DSS, Inc. announced that DSS Health Cloud achieved FedRAMP High (Class D) certification on August 3, 2026. - DSS said it is the first solutions provider and integrator to the Department of Veterans Affairs to receive FedRAMP High certification. - The VA granted DSS an Authorization to Operate after the FedRAMP assessment. - DSS Health Cloud is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace.

The details: - FedRAMP High, Class D is the updated highest-tier designation for cloud services handling sensitive U.S. government data. - The certification requires more than 400 security controls under National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53. - DSS Health Cloud is aligned with the VA’s cloud-first strategy and its “buy, don’t build” procurement approach. - The platform is hosted in Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US). - DSS Health Cloud is a multi-tenant platform as a service that supports integration with software as a service applications. - The platform can be used as a secure environment for testing and vetting systems before agency adoption. - Government contractors and commercial customers can host applications in the FedRAMP High environment to accelerate modernization and lower costs. - DSS says the platform uses zero-trust architecture and encryption at rest and in transit. - DSS says the system is configured across multiple AWS Availability Zones and Regions for uptime and disaster recovery. - Current SaaS offerings on the platform include RxTracker for ePrescribing, PCM HRO for suicide prevention management, TRM Plus for telehealth triage and Juno EHR. - Juno EHR is ONC-certified and supports organization-wide customization to streamline workflows and reduce administrative burden. - DSS says the platform improves interoperability with other FedRAMP systems, including VA’s enterprise cloud and DoD’s Medical Community of Interest, or MedCOI. - The company says the platform enables faster deployment and better operational efficiency.

Between the lines: - The VA relationship is central to DSS’s positioning in federal health IT. - FedRAMP High certification can make DSS more competitive for sensitive government workloads where security review is a major barrier. - The move also broadens DSS’s market beyond government, since the same compliance posture can appeal to private health care buyers.

What's next: - DSS is expected to use the certification to expand adoption of DSS Health Cloud across federal, contractor and commercial customers. - The company is likely to market the platform as a compliant base for new health IT deployments and modernization projects. - Broader uptake will depend on agency procurement decisions and customer demand for FedRAMP High hosting.

The bottom line: - DSS Health Cloud now has one of the government’s toughest cloud security approvals, and DSS is using that status to push deeper into federal health care and adjacent markets.
