Achieving FedRAMP Authorization for the First Fully Codeless Platform at HHS

A Landmark in Government Innovation

Zolon Tech Inc. (ZTI) has once again set the bar for federal government digital transformation by successfully implementing and securing FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO) for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on the first-ever fully codeless platform. Partnering with Unqork, ZTI leveraged its expertise to guide HHS through this groundbreaking achievement, ensuring compliance with stringent federal security standards while empowering HHS to build and deploy applications faster and more efficiently.

The Need for Modernization

HHS, like many federal agencies, faced the challenge of modernizing its IT infrastructure to improve operational efficiency and reduce reliance on traditional code-heavy development processes. The shift to a fully codeless platform promised to revolutionize application development by eliminating the need for complex coding, significantly reducing development time, and lowering the potential for errors.

Recognizing the potential of Unqork’s no-code platform, HHS partnered with ZTI to implement the platform and ensure it met rigorous federal security and operational standards, a requirement for any platform operating in a federal environment.

First Fully Codeless Platform Implementation and FedRAMP Authorization

ZTI played a critical role in helping Unqork achieve FedRAMP Moderate ATO, a first for any fully codeless platform. This achievement required close collaboration with Unqork to:

ZTI ensured that Unqork’s platform met the highest security standards, including encryption, access control, and continuous monitoring to safeguard sensitive government data.

ZTI guided the entire FedRAMP process, ensuring that the platform adhered to over 325 security controls required under FedRAMP Moderate.

The no-code platform is cloud-native, scalable, and designed to handle the complex needs of federal agencies while ensuring secure and efficient data handling.

Key Benefits for HHS

The implementation of this fully codeless platform and its subsequent FedRAMP authorization has provided HHS with a range of operational advantages, including:

Accelerated Application Development

By eliminating the need for traditional coding, HHS has significantly shortened its development cycles, enabling faster delivery of critical applications.

Improved Efficiency

The codeless architecture reduces the complexity of development, allowing HHS teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than managing code-based issues.

Cost Savings

The reduction in development time and complexity has also led to substantial cost savings, both in terms of resources and ongoing maintenance.

Enhanced Security

With FedRAMP Moderate authorization, HHS can confidently operate the platform while maintaining compliance with stringent federal security standards, ensuring the protection of sensitive data.

Transforming the Future of Application Development

The FedRAMP ATO for Unqork’s platform represents a major leap forward in federal IT modernization, marking a new era in application development. By eliminating traditional coding, ZTI has empowered HHS to innovate faster, streamline processes, and significantly improve the efficiency of its operations.

ZTI continues to support HHS in expanding the use of this no-code platform to other mission-critical applications, demonstrating that codeless platforms are the future of efficient, secure, and scalable government IT solutions.
