The big picture

The partnership between Fieldguide and Knox Systems addresses a critical bottleneck in federal compliance for audit and advisory firms. With roughly 80,000 organizations expected to undergo CMMC Level 2 assessments, the demand for secure, FedRAMP-authorized platforms is set to surge. This move positions Fieldguide to capitalize on the growing need for agentic AI solutions in government contracting, while Knox Systems solidifies its role as a key enabler of FedRAMP compliance for SaaS providers.
