From Government Certifications to Agency Authorizations … and Beyond.
FedHIVE helps SaaS, cloud, and enterprise technology providers deliver secure solutions to federal, defense, state, local, and other regulated government markets without having to build and operate a government security and compliance program from scratch.
The key to ROI and pipeline growth isn’t simply achieving certification. It’s turning that certification into agency adoption. FedHIVE helps customers leverage an established federal authorization foundation to streamline agency engagement, support authorization reuse where appropriate, and reduce the friction that often slows deployment after certification.
Built on one of the federal government’s most trusted authorization foundations with the highest levels of federal security review, FedHIVE’s environment holds a multi-agency authorization, including Authorization to Operate (ATOs) from the CIOs of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of War (DoW), and the General Services Administration (GSA). Rather than starting from scratch with every agency, customers begin with an established, government-trusted security baseline that helps simplify agency evaluations, accelerate sponsor and Authorizing Official engagement, reduce duplication of security reviews, and move more quickly from certification to operational use, federal revenue, and long-term growth.
FedHIVE provides a FedRAMP Class D (High), DoW (DoD) IL4/5, and GovRAMP Certified environment, along with practitioner-led compliance services that support the full journey from technical readiness and deployment through agency authorization, continuous monitoring, annual assessments, and long-term compliance sustainment. This gives commercial technology companies a practical way to pursue government opportunities while keeping product, engineering, security, and sales teams focused on their core responsibilities.
Whether your technology stack uses containers, virtual machines, or something else entirely, FedHIVE can help you achieve the certifications and ATOs you need to grow your business in the federal market.
For organizations starting from scratch, FedHIVE helps establish a clear path to FedRAMP High based on the product, architecture, data flows, target customers, and business objectives. For companies already operating at FedRAMP Moderate, FedHIVE supports the move to Class D (High) while helping reduce duplicated effort and unnecessary re-engineering. For providers that already have an ATO, FedHIVE can manage the ongoing compliance work required to keep the environment secure, up to date, and defensible.
FedHIVE is especially well-suited for FedRAMP for SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS solutions. Its flexible deployment model supports virtual machines, containers, traditional applications, cloud-native services, private cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and hybrid environments. Containers are supported but not required, allowing many companies to preserve more of their existing commercial technology stack and modernize at the pace that makes sense for their product and customers.
After certification, FedHIVE helps providers navigate the agency-specific work required to turn compliance investments into operational use. Support includes agency security questions, package reuse, sponsor and Authorizing Official coordination, documentation responses, connection requirements, and ongoing government engagement.
FedHIVE also manages continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, evidence collection, monthly reporting, POA&M activity, change management, audit preparation, annual assessments, and authorization sustainment. This reduces the long-term staffing and operational burden of federal compliance while helping providers prevent compliance drift and protect the value of their government business.
