Fynydd Blog

The U.S. Department of Justice through the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) partnered with Fynydd to create a secure web portal for their Office of Science and Technology directorate.

The platform was built using the Microsoft SharePoint ITAR platform under the most strict security protocols. This platform is built and configured specifically for secure government use.

Access to this environment required rigorous background checks at the state and federal level for each Fynydd development team member. And the subset of SharePoint functionality offered by ITAR made building in the environment a challenge. In addition, some of our work required travel to meet with the OST team in Washington D.C.

Some of the key details of the project include:

• Custom SharePoint ITAR environment for U.S. Department of Justice; heavily secured.
• Integrated metrics, division and branch directories, blogs, self-help support features.
• Alerts and system status mechanisms.
• Custom email templates and delivery systems
• Integrations with other directorate systems and coordination with other directorates
• On-site coordination in the Washington D.C. office for the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
