Knox Launches on AWS Marketplace

Knox, recognized as the longest-standing managed federal cloud service provider, has made significant strides in facilitating compliance for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies. On July 24, 2025, Knox announced the roll-out of its FedRAMP Boundary Platform via AWS Marketplace, introducing an expedited pathway for AWS SaaS vendors to achieve FedRAMP and DISA IL4 compliance in only 90 days. This innovative offering is a game changer, empowering SaaS businesses to leverage their existing AWS applications and budgets efficiently.

Why It Matters

In the past, securing a FedRAMP authorization was a complicated, costly endeavor that could take upwards of three years, often requiring millions of dollars in engineering and compliance expenses. Knox is tearing down these barriers. Their managed cloud services allow companies to run applications within a pre-authorized boundary, facilitating a smoother path to full compliance without necessitating extensive architectural changes or an agency sponsor.

Irina Denisenko, the CEO of Knox, emphasized, “SaaS vendors shouldn't have to spend $3 million and wait three years to serve the federal market.” The new Knox methodology allows companies to redirect their expenditure to fulfill their AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) commitments, preventing procurement stalls and accelerating their entry into the federal marketplace.

Features of the Knox FedRAMP Boundary Platform

The highlights of the Knox offering include:

• - Pre-Cleared Multi-Cloud Infrastructure: This allows for secure deployments while minimizing the complexities typically associated with obtaining FedRAMP certification.
• - KnoxAI Compliance Automation: A proprietary feature that automates checks against NIST 800-53 controls, ensuring continuous compliance with federal standards.
• - Immutable Audit Logs: Real-time traceability for operational and compliance activities, providing transparency to all stakeholders.
• - Ongoing Support: Knox's team offers continuous monitoring, assuring that compliance standards are upheld at every phase.

Availability and Pricing

The Knox FedRAMP Boundary Platform is currently listed on AWS Marketplace, with annual subscriptions starting at $350,000. All spending on this service can be counted towards a company’s AWS EDP commitment, while the infrastructure setup is hosted and managed by Knox at a direct passthrough cost.

Looking Ahead

The launch of this platform positions Knox not just as a service provider, but as an essential ally for SaaS companies looking to navigate the perils of federal cloud compliance. In a sector where time and budget constraints often restrict potential growth, Knox is paving a more accessible road to FedRAMP certification.
