SCCA/SACA Architecture

Active

Secure Cloud Computing Architecture (SCCA) and Secure Access Cloud Enablement (SACE) implementation for DoD cloud environments.

Overview

Our SCCA/SACA Architecture services provide comprehensive design, implementation, and management of DoD-compliant cloud architectures. We specialize in building secure, scalable cloud environments that meet DISA's Secure Cloud Computing Architecture (SCCA) requirements and enable secure access to cloud services through the Secure Access Cloud Enablement (SACE) framework.

Key Components

🛡️ Virtual Datacenter Security Stack (VDSS)

Multi-layer security architecture with firewalls, IDS/IPS, and DDoS protection.

🔐 Boundary Cloud Access Point (BCAP)

Secure gateway for controlled access between mission networks and cloud environments.

📡 Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)

Network segmentation and isolation for multi-tenant cloud environments.

🔍 Continuous Monitoring

Real-time security monitoring, logging, and threat detection across all layers.

SCCA Functional Requirements

Boundary Protection: Perimeter security with stateful inspection firewalls
Application Layer Gateway: Deep packet inspection and application-aware filtering
Intrusion Detection/Prevention: Network-based IDS/IPS with signature and anomaly detection
DDoS Protection: Distributed denial of service mitigation and traffic scrubbing
Log Aggregation: Centralized logging with SIEM integration
Encryption: TLS 1.2+ for data in transit, AES-256 for data at rest
