How Much Can You Save on FedRAMP? More Than You Think

For SaaS companies eyeing the federal market, FedRAMP isn’t just a compliance hurdle. It’s a cost center. The traditional path to authorization can run well into seven figures, with timelines that stretch 24 months or longer. Between consultants, infrastructure, documentation, and audit prep, many startups end up spending more on the process than they’ll make from their first federal deal.

At Knox, we built our platform to flip that model on its head. Instead of burning budget on one-off builds, you can plug into Knox’s pre-authorized infrastructure, inherit hundreds of security controls, and get to market faster, without sacrificing trust or audit readiness. The result? Massive savings in time, capital, and engineering effort.

Let’s look at the numbers:

Traditional FedRAMP Costs:

• $500K–$2M+ in advisory, documentation, and security tooling
• 12–18 months of internal engineering and product delay
• Wait an additional 12-18 months for that ATO, which you may or may not obtain
• Redundant investment in infrastructure and monitoring

With Knox:

• Shared, FedRAMP-authorized boundary
• Managed compliance, CMX-powered monitoring
• Pre-built documentation and control inheritance
• Timeline: as little as 90 days
• Cost: $350K
