Knox Systems

Knox Systems specializes in FedRAMP and cloud security services for government and enterprise organizations. The company focuses on helping software vendors achieve and maintain FedRAMP authorization, enabling commercial SaaS applications to meet federal security requirements for government use. The team consists of experts with backgrounds from organizations including Palantir, Oracle, BCG, Avanade, and Palo Alto Networks, bringing over 10 consecutive years of experience operating FedRAMP-compliant cloud environments. The company addresses the challenge of government access to modern software applications by navigating the complex FedRAMP authorization process, which requires compliance with 325 NIST 800-53 controls for FedRAMP Moderate authorization. Knox Systems works to bridge the gap between the thousands of applications available in commercial marketplaces and the limited number of FedRAMP-authorized applications available to government agencies. Knox Systems maintains a network of federal advisors including former senior technology leaders from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Executive Office of the President, CISA, DHS, and DoD. The company targets the government SaaS market, which represents approximately $20 billion in annual spending with 50% year-over-year growth. Their mission centers on unlocking access to modern software for government agencies by managing the security compliance and authorization requirements that enable commercial applications to serve federal customers.
