Top 4 - .GOV Compliance Services
CMMC Compliance
The problem: For Department of Defense contractors, CMMC is no longer optional — without the required certification level, you simply cannot bid on or win DoD work. Self-attestation is giving way to third-party assessment, and the underlying controls take months to implement. Contractors who wait risk being locked out of the defense supply chain while compliant competitors take their place.
The Knox solution: The Knox Corps guides you from CMMC gap assessment through assessment-readiness — implementing and documenting the NIST 800-171 controls your required level demands — so you stay eligible to bid and hold your place in the supply chain.
NIST 800-171 / CUI Protection
The problem: If you handle Controlled Unclassified Information under a federal contract, you're contractually bound (via DFARS) to protect it to NIST 800-171 standards — and the government can verify. Falling short can mean stop-work orders, False Claims Act exposure, and lost contracts. Many contractors have signed clauses promising a level of compliance they haven't actually reached.
The Knox solution: We assess your environment against all NIST 800-171 controls, build the System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) the government expects, and close the gaps — so your CUI is genuinely protected and your contractual promises are real.
FISMA Compliance
The problem: Federal agencies and the contractors serving them must meet FISMA's requirements — and a failed assessment or security lapse can cost you your authorization to operate, terminate a contract, and trail you into the next bid. The NIST 800-53 control set is extensive, and "mostly compliant" doesn't earn an ATO.
The Knox solution: The Knox Corps maps your systems to the NIST 800-53 controls FISMA requires, guides you through the Risk Management Framework (RMF), and prepares the documentation assessors demand — so you achieve and maintain your Authorization to Operate.
FedRAMP
The problem: If you offer a cloud service to the federal government, FedRAMP authorization is the price of entry — without it, agencies legally cannot use your product. The process is rigorous and lengthy, and a stalled authorization can leave a pipeline of government revenue frozen while a competitor gets authorized first.
The Knox solution: We help you navigate FedRAMP from readiness through authorization — implementing the required controls, preparing documentation, and guiding the process — so your cloud service becomes one the government is cleared to buy.
