Knox Systems Expands Offerings on Google Cloud Marketplace
Largest managed federal cloud provider expands to Google Cloud Marketplace, giving SaaS companies a multi-cloud, low-cost path to FedRAMP and DoD compliance.
Knox, a prominent managed federal cloud provider, has recently launched its FedRAMP Boundary Platform on Google Cloud Marketplace. This offering provides Software as a Service (SaaS) vendors utilizing Google Cloud with a swift and economical route to achieving FedRAMP and DoD compliance.
By leveraging Knox's pre-authorized federal boundary, Google Cloud vendors can reach complete FedRAMP authorization in as little as 90 days while seeing a remarkable reduction in costs—up to 90%. This proactive approach eliminates the necessity of securing an agency sponsor, reconstructing applications, or enduring prolonged compliance challenges.
This advancement aligns perfectly with Knox's ongoing mission: making secure and innovative AI and SaaS technologies more accessible within the public sector. Knox aims to meet the needs of its customers by offering a compliant federal cloud environment that integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud.
For over a decade, Knox has successfully operated Adobe's Federal Cloud and currently holds 15 active Authority to Operate (ATO) approvals across various government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, NIH, FEMA, and the U.S. Marines. In addition to Google Cloud Marketplace, Knox is also featured in AWS Marketplace and Azure Marketplace, presenting an unprecedented advantage for SaaS vendors in their compliance efforts.
Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox, states, "SaaS companies shouldn't have to spend millions or wait years to serve the federal market. If you're already live on Google Cloud, you can now be FedRAMP-authorized in just 90 days. Every dollar counts toward your GCP committed spend. No delays, no sponsors required. This is the fastest, most straightforward pathway to compliance available today."
A Simplified Path for GCP SaaS Vendors
The traditional route to FedRAMP authorization can stretch over three years and demand hefty investments in reengineering and extensive operational overhead. However, Knox's fully managed and pre-authorized platform, powered by its proprietary auditing tool, KnoxAI, simplifies this journey significantly.
