Compliance in State of Washington, United States.
Washington State hosts the second-largest concentration of US cloud and consumer-internet operations after the Bay Area, anchored by Amazon HQ (Seattle South Lake Union), Microsoft HQ (Redmond), and the deep AWS and Azure engineering footprint. Bellevue hosts T-Mobile US HQ, the Microsoft Bellevue campus, Concur, and a long tail of cloud-native enterprises; Kirkland and Issaquah extend the Eastside corridor; Spokane and the Tri-Cities host Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the broader defense / energy-research cluster. Boeing's commercial-aircraft operations span Everett, Renton, and Seattle, anchoring the aerospace cluster with extensive ITAR / EAR exposure. The compliance landscape mixes federal (NIST 800-53 / FedRAMP for the hyperscaler customers, NIST 800-171 / CMMC for aerospace), state (My Health My Data Act effective March 2024, Washington Privacy Act provisions), HIPAA for the regional healthcare systems, plus SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / FedRAMP for the cloud-services side.
Frameworks CISGuard maps for Washington.
Each scan generates per-framework reports showing satisfied / partial / not-met status.
| Framework | Scope | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| My Health My Data Act | Consumer health data collected, processed, or disclosed in / about WA residents | Washington Attorney General |
| HIPAA Security Rule → | WA health systems and BAAs | US HHS / OCR |
| FedRAMP → | Cloud Service Providers serving federal customers | GSA FedRAMP PMO |
| NIST 800-171 / CMMC L2 → | Boeing-tier defense industrial base | DoD CIO / Cyber AB |
| ITAR / EAR | Aerospace export control (Boeing, Blue Origin, SpaceX) | US State / Commerce Departments |
| SOC 2 Type II → | SaaS / Cloud Services customer audit gate | AICPA |
Sovereignty and residency, solved by architecture.
Washington aerospace tenants operate under ITAR and EAR export controls requiring US-person access and US-soil processing. AWS and Azure engineering operations process consumer and enterprise data subject to both federal and WA state privacy obligations. CISGuard's on-premises and AWS GovCloud / Azure Government deployment options keep scan data inside US sovereign infrastructure, with air-gapped support for naval and aerospace classified workloads.
Three ways to deploy in Washington.
AWS US West (us-west-2, Oregon)
Single-tenant CISGuard inside the customer's AWS Oregon VPC. Lowest latency for Washington tenants.
AWS GovCloud US-West / Azure Government
For federal contractors, aerospace ITAR / EAR workloads, and Boeing-tier defense scope.
Air-gapped (IL5 / IL6 / SCIF)
For naval shipyard workloads (Bremerton, Bangor) and intelligence-community SCIF environments. Quarterly signed-media updates.
Washington in practice.
Aerospace ITAR contractor, Everett
ITAR + NIST 800-171 + CMMC L2 + SOC 2 evidence automated for the Everett aerospace operations of a Tier-1 Boeing supplier. CMMC L2 third-party assessment passed first cycle; ITAR access-control evidence continuous.

Does CISGuard satisfy the Washington My Health My Data Act?
Yes. The Act requires regulated entities to implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security practices appropriate for consumer health data. CISGuard's continuous CIS benchmark scanning, drift detection, and immutable audit trail provide the technical-controls evidence the Washington Attorney General will expect on an enforcement review, alongside the same controls that satisfy HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards.
Can CISGuard support Boeing-tier aerospace ITAR / EAR obligations?
Yes. CISGuard deploys inside customer-controlled AWS GovCloud US-West or Azure Government tenants, where US-person access is built into the platform by design. The continuous configuration evidence covers the ITAR and EAR control implementations Boeing and its tier-1 suppliers operate under for export-controlled aerospace technology.
Does CISGuard scale to AWS / Microsoft-class operations?
Yes. CISGuard's architecture is designed for 50,000-150,000 endpoint deployments with multi-site SOC consolidation. Bellevue and Redmond cloud-services operations run CISGuard across thousands of project, service, and platform endpoints with per-customer scoped dashboards and multi-framework mapping.
