Class Technologies Inc., the company that is changing the way the world learns by adding training and learning tools to Zoom, and CoSo Cloud LLC (CoSo), the leading secure private cloud managed services provider for high-consequence virtual learning and training, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver real time training and skill development in a highly secure and reliable environment. Under the terms of the agreement, CoSo will bring FedRAMP Moderate and DISA Impact Level 2 security and compliance to Class’s flagship software and serve as a Class reseller, providing services and solutions powered by Class to their customers.

Class is a live virtual learning environment that brings the best of in person learning to the virtual world. Instructors and facilitators can be more confident and effective with tools that help bring content to life through one-on-one and group conversations, practice and feedback, easy resource sharing, enhanced breakout rooms, automated enrollments, course templating, integrations with business and learning tools, and comprehensive reporting.

“CoSo Cloud’s platform secures online meetings and virtual classroom training sessions, protects sensitive data and high-consequence briefings, and meets or exceeds the rigorous government regulatory requirements” said CoSo Cloud’s CEO, Glen D. Vondrick. “We are delighted to be working with Class Technologies Inc. to deliver FedRAMP-level security to Class and ultimately our customers. This is a huge milestone that reflects our commitment to provide better corporate and federal learning solutions.”

FedRAMP is a government-wide program providing a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Its primary goal is to help government agencies migrate to the cloud in a secure manner by endorsing and certifying cloud service providers that have met the most rigorous testing available.

“Class is excited to leverage CoSo’s deep knowledge of the corporate and federal learning and development market,” said Michael Chasen, co-founder and CEO of Class. “With our recent acquisition of Blackboard Collaborate, now known as Class Collaborate, we have an even larger footprint in the Government sector, which serves to strengthen our commitment to providing a solution with emphasis on security and protection of federal information.”

CoSo will be delivering FedRAMP-level security to Class through the CoSo Secure Private Cloud Platform. Adding Class to the CoSo platform delivers support for the most stringent cloud security requirements of government organizations interested in adopting the cloud-based platform to enable instructors to perform many of the activities that happen in a real classroom, virtually.
