Industry Solutions — Government & Defense
FedRAMP High Authorized Cloud for Government
Federal agencies, state governments, and defense contractors require infrastructure that meets the highest security standards without compromising on performance or agility. Novastraxis GovCloud delivers FedRAMP High authorized infrastructure with IL4/IL5 readiness, ITAR compliance, and ATO acceleration — all operated by cleared U.S. persons.
Trusted by the world's most demanding enterprises
The Government Infrastructure Challenge
Government and defense organizations face unique security, compliance, and operational requirements that demand purpose-built infrastructure with the highest levels of assurance.
ITAR & Export Control Compliance
Defense contractors and agencies handling International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) data require infrastructure that guarantees access is restricted to U.S. persons, data never traverses non-U.S. networks, and all access is logged with sufficient granularity to satisfy DDTC audit requirements.
Classified Workload Handling
Government agencies need infrastructure capable of processing controlled unclassified information (CUI) and sensitive but unclassified (SBU) data at Impact Level 4 and 5. The path from CUI to classified workloads requires provable isolation, dedicated infrastructure, and cleared personnel.
Supply Chain Security
Software supply chain attacks represent an existential threat to government systems. Agencies require provable assurance that every component in the infrastructure stack — from firmware to container images — has been vetted, scanned, and verified against known vulnerability databases and threat intelligence feeds.
Authority to Operate (ATO) Acceleration
Obtaining an Authority to Operate can take 12 to 18 months through traditional assessment processes. Agencies need pre-assessed infrastructure that inherits existing authorizations and provides automated evidence generation to dramatically accelerate the ATO timeline.
GovCloud Capabilities
Every capability is designed to meet the unique security, compliance, and operational requirements of government and defense workloads.
FedRAMP High P-ATO
421+
controls implemented
Novastraxis holds FedRAMP High Provisional Authority to Operate, the most rigorous security baseline in the FedRAMP program. Over 421 NIST 800-53 Rev 5 controls are implemented across our dedicated GovCloud regions, continuously monitored, and assessed annually by an accredited 3PAO.
- FedRAMP High P-ATO sponsored by the General Services Administration (GSA)
- Dedicated GovCloud regions in Ashburn, VA and San Antonio, TX
- Annual assessment by Coalfire Systems, Inc. (accredited 3PAO)
- Continuous monitoring deliverables submitted monthly to the FedRAMP PMO
- Fewer than 20 cloud providers hold FedRAMP High authorization
IL4/IL5 Readiness
IL5
impact level ready
Our GovCloud infrastructure is designed and operated to meet Department of Defense Impact Level 4 and Impact Level 5 requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and National Security Systems (NSS). Dedicated compute, isolated networking, and U.S. person-only access controls are enforced at every layer.
- Dedicated physical infrastructure isolated from commercial cloud regions
- All personnel with logical or physical access are U.S. persons with active clearances
- Network isolation with dedicated transit and peering connections
- FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated cryptographic modules for all encryption operations
- Continuous monitoring with DoD-specific security controls
ITAR-Compliant Enclaves
100%
U.S. person access
Purpose-built ITAR enclaves ensure that technical data controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations never leaves U.S. soil and is only accessible by verified U.S. persons. Every access is logged, every data flow is monitored, and every export is controlled.
- Geographically restricted to U.S.-based data centers with no international transit
- U.S. person identity verification for all personnel with logical or physical access
- Data flow monitoring with automated export control violation detection
- Complete audit trail meeting DDTC compliance examination requirements
- Integration with defense contractor ITAR compliance management systems
CMMC Level 3 Preparation
130+
practices mapped
Defense industrial base (DIB) contractors preparing for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification can leverage our infrastructure to inherit a significant portion of the required security practices. Our CMMC mapping covers over 130 practices across all 14 domains.
- Pre-mapped controls covering CMMC Level 3 practices across all 14 domains
- Shared responsibility matrix documenting inherited vs. customer-implemented controls
- Automated evidence generation for assessment preparation
- Gap analysis tooling to identify remaining customer-responsible controls
- Integration with CMMC assessment ecosystem and C3PAO workflows
GovCloud Isolation
100%
physical isolation
Our GovCloud regions are physically, logically, and operationally isolated from commercial cloud infrastructure. Dedicated hardware, separate networks, independent identity systems, and U.S.-based cleared operations staff ensure the highest levels of assurance for sensitive government workloads.
- Physically separated data centers with independent power, cooling, and connectivity
- Separate identity and access management plane from commercial regions
- U.S.-based Security Operations Center staffed by cleared U.S. persons 24/7/365
- Independent change management and deployment pipelines
- Dedicated customer support channel with cleared support engineers
ATO-in-a-Box Accelerator
60%
faster ATO timeline
Our ATO acceleration package reduces the time to Authority to Operate by up to 60% through automated evidence generation, pre-written System Security Plan templates, and a shared responsibility matrix that clearly delineates inherited controls from customer-implemented controls.
- Pre-populated System Security Plan (SSP) templates with inherited controls documented
- Automated continuous monitoring dashboard with real-time control status
- Evidence generation automation reducing manual collection by 80%
- Integrated POA&M management with remediation tracking
- Dedicated ATO support team with FISMA and FedRAMP assessment experience

Government Compliance Portfolio
Novastraxis GovCloud maintains the broadest compliance portfolio available for government cloud infrastructure. All certifications are independently assessed and continuously monitored.
GovCloud Security Architecture
Novastraxis GovCloud implements a multi-layered security architecture designed to meet the requirements of the most sensitive government workloads.
Personnel Security
All personnel with logical or physical access to GovCloud infrastructure are U.S. persons with active security clearances. Background investigations are conducted in accordance with federal standards and renewed on schedule.
Physical Security
GovCloud data centers feature multi-layer physical access controls including biometric authentication, mantraps, 24/7 security guards, video surveillance with 90-day retention, and visitor escort requirements.
Network Security
Dedicated network infrastructure with no shared transit or peering with commercial regions. All traffic is encrypted with FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules and monitored by cleared security analysts.
