On December 9, Salesforce announced that GovSlack, a dedicated instance of Slack designed to support key government security and compliance standards, has been issued Provisional Authorization for Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level 4 (IL4) compliance. This milestone confirms Salesforce’s dedication to improving productivity across the critical missions and in support of the personnel within defense and national security, the company said.
The national security of the United States operates at a massive scale across multiple agencies, contractors, and supporting organizations while handling sensitive information. GovSlack’s IL4 compliance ensures that the government can carry out these missions with a platform that supports the secure collaboration and productivity needs of its employees and contractors without compromising the security of this sensitive information.
“GovSlack allows the brave men and women across the National Security ecosystem and supporting agencies and contractors to break down silos of information, swarm to mission-critical tasks, and make decisions at the speed of mission. When every second counts, these productivity gains can tip the scales for mission success,” said Bill Pessin, SVP, U.S. national security, defense, aerospace, Salesforce.
GovSlack bridges the gap between public and private sectors by providing a secure platform for projects that require stricter security measures. It eliminates the need for context switching and centralizes fragmented communications into a central hub, ensuring seamless collaboration. With GovSlack’s IL4 compliance, defense customers can leverage a cutting-edge productivity platform that meets their stringent security requirements.
