  • FedRAMP Certified: Class C (Moderate)

  • Continuous RA-5 scanning per commit, not quarterly

  • Deployable in AWS GovCloud and US-Gov-East

Multiple deployment options

01

FedRAMP (cloud)

Aikido for Government SaaS in a FedRAMP-authorized environment. It's the fastest route for agencies and contractors that use authorized cloud infrastructure. Nothing to host or maintain on your side.

02

Hybrid

Fully on-prem: The complete platform for IL5+, air-gapped & classified-adjacent environments.

03

Air-gapped

The platform runs inside your network, including AI pentesting with Aikido Machine. Built for IL5+, classified-adjacent, and sovereign environments, with NIST 800-171 support.

FedRAMP / RA-5

RA-5 vulnerability scanning, built into the way you ship

Your agency gets continuous, code-to-cloud scanning aligned to RA-5. Assessors get the evidence. Developers keep shipping

Continuous coverage
Scan code, containers, and cloud as you ship. RA-5 monitoring stays current without manual cycles.
Automated workflows
Agencies & contractors get continuous, code-to-cloud scanning aligned to NIST SP 800-53 RA-5. Auditors get the evidence they need. Developers keep shipping.
Audit-ready reporting
Export documentation aligned to federal controls. No spreadsheet wrangling when auditors arrive.

What your agency gets

Aikido is purpose-built for high-trust environments where compliance
and operational integrity are non-negotiable.

FedRAMP boundary
Delivered through Knox Systems' FedRAMP boundary, hosted in AWS GovCloud (US-Gov-East).
Your code stays yours
Read-only access. Scans run in temporary containers that are destroyed after analysis.
Fixes your team approves
Each fix arrives as a pull request with an explanation. Your reviewers approve, and a rescan confirms it.
Evidence for your ATO
RA-5 findings, SBOMs, and POA&M-ready exports generated on demand.

FedRAMP Certified: Class C (Moderate)

Aikido is FedRAMP Certified at Class C, the level for systems handling controlled unclassified information. Agencies can request our certification package through the FedRAMP Marketplace and use it for their own authorization.

Impact level
FedRAMP Moderate is a security authorization level for cloud services handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Marketplace
Authorization through Knox Systems' established boundary, alongside Adobe, BigID, and Kovr.ai.
Hosting
AWS GovCloud (US-Gov-East).
for cloud providers and contractors

Get your own system certified

Aikido generates the vulnerability evidence for your 3PAO assessment and ongoing certification, from the scans you already run.

Get certified faster

Scan code, dependencies, containers, IaC, and cloud in one platform. Featuring SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets detection, CSPM and ASPM. Find and fix issues before they hit production.

Prove compliance on demand

RA-5 scans, SBOMs, and POA&M-ready output, generated automatically. Evidence for FedRAMP, GovRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIS2, without the manual scramble.

Stay certified

Continuous monitoring on every commit, not once a quarter. Reachability-aware prioritization cuts false positives by up to 95%, so your team fixes the exploitable issues first.

“Aikido let our engineers get back to what they do best building advanced defense systems without getting bogged down in CVE cleanup. It's helped us win projects, build trust, and stay ahead of schedule.”

Sam StentonHead of DevOps & Platform, SiXworks

Features

Built for ongoing certification

Continuous monitoring (ConMon)

Vulnerability scanning is a key component of ConMon activities, per FedRAMP. Aikido scans code, dependencies, containers, IaC, and cloud posture continuously. For FedRAMP providers, this is now Ongoing Certification.

On-prem security

Aikido runs the full platform, including AI pentesting, inside your network. Nothing leaves your boundary.

  • Fully on-prem: The complete platform for IL5+, air-gapped & classified-adjacent environments.

  • CI-only option: Local scanners run in your pipeline; no code leaves your build environment.

  • Same evidence: Identical findings & exports, on-prem or cloud.

Best-in-class noise reduction

Aikido gives you an instant overview of your code & cloud security issues, so you can triage & fix high-risk vulnerabilities fast. Get notified when a threat is worth looking into. Reduce noise by up to 95%, freeing critical developer time.

Actionable advice

No need to do your own CVE research. Aikido gives you the TL;DR, tells you how you're affected & how you can most easily fix it. The fastest way for quick fixes and faster development cycles.

AIKIDO MACHINE

AI pentesting entirely under your control

For regulated industries

Continuous AI pentesting that keeps your code on-prem.

Finance, healthcare, and pharma ship constantly, and compliance expects regular pentesting but your code can't leave the network.

Aikido Machine pentests every deployment, validates exploitability, generates patches, and retests the fix.

FOR DEFENsE

Autonomous pentesting for networks that never touch the internet.

Classified and mission systems can't send code to a cloud, and often can't allow external operators access.

Aikido Machine runs entirely inside your enclave, air-gapped, with its own models on its own hardware, so nothing leaves the network.

FOR GOVERNMENT

Test critical systems without citizen data leaving.

Government systems hold people's personal data and tend to run for decades. Rules like GDPR and FedRAMP often mean that data has to stay in the country and off the public cloud, which rules out most AI pentesting tools.
‍
Aikido Machine runs entirely on your own infrastructure, ensuring data sovereignty.

What is FedRAMP 20x?

The new FedRAMP path for cloud services built on certified infrastructure: continuous, evidence-based, no government-specific fork of the product. Rev5 stops accepting new certifications in June 2027.

Does Aikido store my code?

No. Scans run in temporary containers destroyed after analysis. Read-only access, always.

Can this run air-gapped?

Yes. Aikido for Government can be deployed as an on-prem solution, including AI pentesting . Local scanners cover CI-only setups. Nothing leaves your boundary.

Do you meet NIST standards?

We map findings to NIST SP 800-53 controls, including RA-5. Export evidence for ATO packages, POA&Ms & ongoing certification reports.

What is Aikido for Government?

Aikido for Government is the separate government edition (app.aikidogov.us, AWS GovCloud, operated by US persons). It is not possible to self serve, or transition to the FedRAMP environment. They are two completely separate SaaS products with different entitlements.

Is Aikido listed in the FedRAMP marketplace?

Yes. As Aikido for Government, the separate government edition. You can find us as part of the Knox listing.
