PSN CONNECTIVITY
Quick and reliable PSN Connectivity
Cloud Gateway provides secure, resilient access to the Public Services Network (PSN), enabling public sector organisations to connect sites, clouds, and remote users to essential government resources with ease.
As the government shifts towards cloud-based networking, our PSN connectivity services not only support your existing ‘legacy’ PSN requirements but also lay the foundation for a smooth transition to modern, internet-based solutions. We ensure your organisation stays connected, compliant, and prepared for the future.
What is PSN (Public Services Network)?
The Public Services Network (PSN) is the government’s high-performance network, which helps public sector organisations work together, reduce duplication and share resources.
The Cabinet Office’s Future Networks for Government (FN4G) programme is encouraging organisations to migrate away from the PSN, in favour of cloud based networking, ideally using the internet as backbone.
How we help with PSN Connectivity
By using a flexible solution for PSN Connectivity, you can improve the citizen experience in using your services while preparing your organisation for a simple and painless move away from the PSN. Future proofing your infrastructure in this way minimises downtime, security risks and budget constraints.
Your network services will need to support 'legacy' PSN connectivity in addition to new cloud environments, to lay the foundation for future migration plans.
Some workloads may also need to remain on the Public Services Network for security and data sovereignty reasons. PSN connections with Cloud Gateway offer secure, cost-effective links to the PSN for users, sites and cloud environments.
We keep our contract lengths short, as little as 12 months, to support public sector organisations at all stages of their PSN migration journey.
Futureproofing your network is easy with PSN Connectivity
Four easy steps to become PSN compliant
Before you can connect to the Public Services Network, your organisation needs to pass the PSN compliance process. Cloud Gateway makes this process quick and simple.
01. Provide your details and company registration info
The PSN Code of Connection (CoCo) document is an application form to connect to the PSN. You’ll need to complete your organisation’s details, including your registration number. If you are a central government department or local authority you won’t need to provide a registration number.
02. Sign your commitment statement
As well as providing your company information and details about your network, you’ll also need to make a set of commitments. These commitments dictate how you’ll work throughout the compliance process and the period of your connection to the PSN.
03. Your network environment details
The PSN's Information Assurance (IA) assessors need information about the infrastructure you want to connect to the PSN. This includes the number of sites, users and IP addresses being connected, as well as an accompanying network diagram that shows you are connecting your network to Cloud Gateway. Don't worry, we can help you with this.
04. We manage everything for you
No need to write and maintain policies or complete IT health checks. We take care of all the housekeeping through our PSN Connect service. You gain back time and resources to dedicate to other priorities.

Other providers force you to over-provision up front, because they can't scale at speed. With Cloud Gateway, you can increase your users and bandwidth instantly, without needing a new contract.

What makes Cloud Gateway's PSN services unique?
With a traditional vendor, you get cutting-edge technology. With a Managed Service Provider (MSP) you receive reliable, expert support.
Cloud Gateway is uniquely positioned to offer both of these outcomes. Our tech-enabled managed service seamlessly blends an innovative technology platform with best-in-class experts, to deliver a transformative customer experience that is disrupting the network and security market.
Unlike other providers, we appreciate the need for rapid transformation. We can connect you to the PSN quickly and securely, allowing you to focus on what matters most - delivering healthcare innovation and improved patient care.

PSN FAQS
Answering your PSN FAQs
PSN Stands for Public Services Network - it's the government’s high-performance network, which helps public sector organisations work together, reduce duplication and share resources.
The PSN is set to close at some point in the future. Government Digital Service (GDS) consider the PSN to be a legacy network that is no longer fit for purpose - as alternative technologies offer greater agility, security and value for money. Read more here.
The FN4G programme is encouraging organisations to move towards cloud-native applications, powered by APIs and software-driven technologies, ideally using the internet as backbone. However, the programme has now ended, and not all applications have been migrated. Some workloads may need to remain on the PSN for security and data sovereignty reasons, such as Department of Work & Pensions tools.
