📝 Knox raises $6.5M

News of the Day

Knox, a startup launched by former Class COO Irina Denisenko, has raised $6.5 million to help SaaS companies rapidly and affordably achieve FedRAMP. FedRAMP is a stringent federal software security certification that typically requires years and millions of dollars to secure. Knox’s managed cloud platform connects directly to a vendor’s codebase, continuously auditing and flagging compliance issues while handling much of the remediation itself. Already supporting clients like Adobe and Spacelift, Knox is betting that more vendors will prefer outsourcing compliance rather than navigating it solo, especially with heavyweight rival Palantir’s similar FedStart solution validating the market’s urgency.
