Will Chrome OS Have FISMA Certification?

In yesterday’s Technologizer post about Google Apps getting FISMA certification, Harry McCracken was at the press event for the government-clearing certification allowing the Google enterprise suite to be used for sensitive data. McCracken asked CEO Eric Schmidt about a version of Chrome OS that is FISMA certified.
“That’s like a ‘yes, absolutely,’” Schmidt said. “Let’s ship it first…All the apps we’re talking about will run incredibly well and incredibly securely on Chrome OS.”
That’s good to hear. But I think it goes without saying that apps should all run securely in Chrome OS, and they should be secure in whatever environment they are run in. While FISMA apparently doesn’t allow for classified information, it does allow for sensitive material. I would say that anything I deem private data would be “sensitive” as well, don’t you?
