Highlights:

SaaS vendors on Azure can now achieve FedRAMP authorization in just 90 days with 90% less.
Knox’s pre-authorized boundary eliminates the need for an agency sponsor or major architectural changes.
Today, 15+ federal agencies including DHS, Treasury, NIH, FEMA, and the U.S. Marines trust Knox to secure their most critical systems.
KnoxAI, our proprietary compliance automation tool, continuously maps and remediates against NIST 800-53 controls.
Now listed on both AWS and Azure Marketplaces, Knox offers SaaS vendors a multi-cloud path to rapid compliance.

Expansion into the U.S. federal market is a major opportunity for SaaS vendors - but too often roadblocked by FedRAMP authorization. With Knox, Azure-based companies have a faster, more cost-efficient path into this highly regulated market.

Why is Knox’s FedRAMP Boundary Platform on Azure Marketplace a game-changer for SaaS vendors?

Knox drastically reduces the time, cost, and complexity of achieving FedRAMP authorization. Vendors can stay within their existing Azure infrastructure, reach compliance in 90 days, and apply all spend toward their Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC).

Traditionally, pursuing FedRAMP authorization requires years of engineering, compliance, and legal overhead, often costing upwards of $3 million. Knox has redefined this process with its managed boundary, backed by a decade of experience running Adobe’s federal cloud. Vendors gain access to pre-cleared infrastructure, KnoxAI compliance automation, immutable audit logs, and continuous monitoring. The result is a simplified path: SaaS companies can focus on innovation, not compliance hurdles, and scale securely into the federal market.
