Ariento Expands Microsoft Relationship, Adds AOS-G Partnership

Ariento is proud to announce an expansion of its Microsoft partnership and the addition of Microsoft Government Community Cloud High (GCC High) products to its lineup of CMMC-focused offerings.

Ariento Inc., an authorized CMMC 3PAO and managed services provider (MSP), is now an Agreement for Online Services for Government (AOS-G) partner. This new partnership gives Ariento the authorization to resell Government Community Cloud High (GCC High) and DOD versions of Microsoft 365, as well as classified versions of Azure Government. 

“As a Direct Bill Cloud Service Provider (CSP) partner and Azure Government CSP partner, we have always been able to resell Microsoft 365 Commercial and GCC (not High) as well as Azure Commercial and non-classified Azure Government,” said Chris Rose, Managing Partner, “however, with the CMMC rule being published last December and the increased demand for AOS-G services from our clients, we’ve made the decision to expand our partnership with Microsoft.”

While all Government Community Cloud products are capable of satisfying Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Microsoft’s GCC High product contractually guarantees U.S. data sovereignty — a critical necessity for ITAR and export-controlled CUI data.

“Becoming an AOS-G partner allows us to streamline the experience for our managed service clients that want GCC-H and, with that, save them some money. It also expands our service offerings to all of our customers, including the many that engage our C3PAO team for readiness and remediation assistance,” says Rose.
