Knox Systems, Inc.

Knox Systems, Inc. is a privately held technology company that operates as an AI-managed cloud provider, specializing in accelerating and simplifying the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certification process for software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies. The company's mission is to unlock access to cutting-edge commercial software for the U.S. Government, addressing the significant gap between commercially available applications and those authorized for federal use. Headquartered in Austin, TX, Knox Systems aims to bridge the divide between private-sector innovation and public-sector deployment.

Knox Systems offers an AI-managed cloud platform and FedRAMP-as-a-Service, enabling SaaS vendors to achieve FedRAMP authorization in as little as 90 days, significantly reducing the typical cost and time associated with traditional certification paths. Their platform provides a pre-authorized, multi-cloud environment that spans AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, supporting continuous compliance and automated security controls. A core product, KnoxAI, is an AI-driven auditing tool designed to streamline compliance monitoring and security remediation. The company serves both federal government agencies, including defense and civilian sectors, and commercial enterprises seeking government-grade security.

In recent news, Knox Systems raised $25 million in Series A funding in March 2026, led by B Capital, with participation from M12 (Microsoft's venture fund), Okta Ventures, and others, just nine months after a $6.5 million seed round. The company achieved FedRAMP High listing in August 2025, further enabling secure AI and cloud adoption for the U.S. Government. Leadership includes CEO Irina Denisenko, with recent additions such as Charles Race, former President of Okta, joining as a strategic advisor in February 2026, and Hemant Baidwan, former CISO of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, joining as CISO. Knox Systems is positioned as a leading federal AI-managed cloud provider, facilitating the modernization of government IT infrastructure.
