## Own's FedRAMP Environment

## Limited Features and Applications

- Authentication Methods: Single sign-on is the only authentication method available for login.

The following features and applications are unavailable:

- BYOS / BYOK / BYO-KMS

- **[Migrating FedRAMP to the Own Data Platform](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.platform_o_fedramp_migrating.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Own has launched a Data Platform to empower users to own their data. Accounts using single sign-on to access the current Own application must reconfigure their identity providers to access the Own Data Platform. Migrated users immediately benefit from the improved security experience provided by the platform.
- **[Secure Configuration Guide for Own Government Cloud](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.platform_o_fedramp_secure_configuration_guide.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    This guide helps public sector customers meet the new Secure Configuration Guide (SCG) requirements introduced by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). By securely configuring their instance of the Own Government Cloud platform, public sector customers can help make sure they're protected against evolving threats.
