Achieving FedRAMP authorization has long been a barrier for SaaS companies aiming to serve the U.S. government. With Knox now live on AWS Marketplace, vendors can access a streamlined path to compliance: turning years of cost and complexity into just 90 days of readiness.
How does Knox’s listing on AWS Marketplace change the game for SaaS vendors?
Knox allows AWS SaaS companies to use their existing architecture and budgets to reach FedRAMP compliance quickly and securely. Here, vendors avoid sponsor dependency and can apply spend directly toward their AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP). Traditional FedRAMP processes often require more than three years and millions in engineering, compliance, and legal overhead. Knox transforms this reality with a pre-authorized federal boundary, automated by KnoxAI. SaaS vendors can now achieve full authorization without agency sponsorship or major architectural redesign.
Knox has operated Adobe’s Federal Cloud since 2014 and holds 15+ active Authorizations to Operate (ATO) approvals across agencies such as DHS, Treasury, NIH, FEMA, and the U.S. Marines. Backed by $6.5M in funding from Felicis, Ridgeline, and Firsthand Ventures, Knox is positioning itself as the modern, developer-first alternative to solutions like Palantir FedStart: delivering secure, scalable compliance infrastructure at speed.
Knox’s launch on AWS Marketplace marks a pivotal step in expanding secure SaaS innovation across the public sector. By reducing time to FedRAMP from years to months, Knox empowers vendors to serve government customers faster, safer, and at scale-without sacrificing
