Engineer AI hosting environments that meet stringent U.S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) security controls.

Deploy AI with authorized cloud services for government agencies and contractors. Our service delivers a fully compliant environment—from initial security control mapping to final authorization support—enabling you to focus on mission-critical AI applications.

We architect the secure foundation so you can deploy AI with confidence, meeting federal mandates without sacrificing innovation speed.

  • Control Implementation: Map and implement the ~325 FedRAMP Moderate or ~421 High security controls for your AI stack, including data encryption, access logging, and continuous monitoring.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Deploy compliant environments using Terraform and Ansible with auditable, repeatable configurations for AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, or on-premises stacks.
  • Continuous Compliance: Integrate automated scanning and reporting tools to maintain an always-audit-ready posture, reducing manual overhead by 70%.
  • Accelerated ATO: Leverage our pre-built Security Package templates and expertise to shorten your Authority to Operate (ATO) timeline by 40%.

This service is part of our broader Sovereign AI Infrastructure Development pillar, which also includes Air-Gapped AI System Deployment for the highest security assurance and EU AI Act Compliant AI Development for European mandates.

GUARANTEED SECURITY AND EFFICIENCY

Business Outcomes of a FedRAMP-Compliant AI Platform

Achieve mission-critical AI deployment with a platform engineered to meet the highest U.S. federal security standards, delivering tangible operational and strategic advantages.

01

Accelerated Authority to Operate (ATO)

Leverage our pre-built, continuously audited infrastructure to reduce your FedRAMP authorization timeline from 12-18 months to under 6 months. Our platform includes pre-configured security controls, documented evidence packages, and integration with accredited FedRAMP 3PAOs.

FedRAMP AI Infrastructure: Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear, specific answers to the most common questions about deploying AI in environments that meet U.S. federal security standards.

For a standard deployment, the typical timeline is 2-4 weeks from kickoff to initial operational capability. This includes environment provisioning, security control implementation, and initial model deployment. Complex integrations with legacy government systems can extend this to 6-8 weeks. Our fixed-scope methodology ensures predictable delivery.
