Creative Computing Solutions, Inc.

As a 3PAO, CCSi is accredited to audit cloud service providers (CSPs) to ensure they meet the security and control requirements necessary to provide federal agencies cloud services and products.

"The government's cloud computing adoption is reaching a critical inflection point that will precipitate a more large-scale, agency-wide, and flexible use of cloud technologies. We're thrilled to be able to offer our security assessment services at this pivotal time and pave the way for government agencies to get greater performance, availability, and functionality out of their technology investments," said Dr. Manju Bewtra, Founder and Chief Executive Officer for CCSi. "As a 3PAO, we are looking to help our federal customers and CP partners to channel next-generation technology drivers like mobility, Internet of Things, and big data through the use of reliable and secure cloud solutions."



CCSi delivers services based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standards, which certify that companies' products and services are secure, reliable and of good quality, and on ratings under Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), a proven approach to performance management. The company holds numerous certifications under ISO (9001; 20000-1; and 27001), now ISO/IEC 17020, as well as ratings at Maturity Level 3 organization-wide in CMMI for Development (DEV) and CMMI for Services plus Service System Development (SVC+SSD).

"CCSi is dedicated to providing outstanding services of the highest quality to our partners and customers, and we are committed to compliance with the most rigorous security standards. Over the past few years CCSi has upgraded, recertified and added many of our ISO and CMMI certifications and ratings," added Dr. Bewtra. "This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to a quality and process-driven approach when delivering services to customers."


CCSi brings extensive cyber security experience and a deep understanding of cyber challenges in the cloud, fundamental requirements for a 3PAO.
