Government, defense, and national security

Evidence-ready operations for agencies, defense contractors, and mission systems.

Build system boundaries, control inheritance, SSP evidence, STIG checks, supply-chain reviews, incident timelines, and human approval gates for sensitive missions.

Sector problems

What this environment has to get right

Authorization packages stall when SSP, SAR, and POA&M content is assembled by hand for every system.
Continuous monitoring needs fresh scan, configuration, and log evidence, and stale evidence is easy to miss.
Agencies have to inventory AI use and show minimum practices for higher-impact systems while tools spread faster than policy.
Zero trust has to be demonstrated with enforcement evidence, not only an architecture diagram.
Defense and DIB teams need test-and-evaluation records before an AI agent is fielded, including in disconnected environments.
CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 evidence decides whether a supplier can support covered work, often without a large security staff.

Regulations and frameworks

How AI SOAR supports the evidence, not the determination

Mappings help you collect and organize evidence. An assessor, examiner, auditor, or authorizing official still decides whether the obligation is met. The platform does not certify an organization or file a regulatory notice.

Framework	What it asks for	How the platform helps
FISMA and the NIST RMF Official source ↗	Categorize, select, implement, assess, authorize, and monitor controls for federal systems.	System profiles, authorization boundaries, control narratives, POA&Ms, and continuous-monitoring evidence stay tied to the system owner.
NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 Official source ↗	Implement and assess the baseline selected for the system's impact level.	Control coverage links each selected control to evidence and open milestones, with exports such as OSCAL for assessor review.
FedRAMP Official source ↗	Cloud services used by agencies are authorized against a documented system boundary. That authorization belongs to the system that is assessed.	ZeroTrusted.ai is customer-hosted software built to FedRAMP High security requirements, with STIG-hardened Kubernetes configurations. It does not claim a FedRAMP authorization. Configuration and SSP information can support a customer's own boundary, impact analysis, and continuous monitoring.
OMB AI and zero trust memosOfficial source ↗	Inventory AI use, apply risk practices to higher-impact AI, and show that identity, device, and access controls enforce zero trust.	An AI inventory, governance approvals, and zero trust tests record what is deployed and whether the controls hold. Failures stay recorded as failures.
CMMC 2.0 and NIST SP 800-171 Official source ↗	Protect FCI and CUI at the level the contract requires. As of September 2026, Phase 1 self-assessments remain in effect and Phase 2 third-party assessment requirements are suspended. Confirm the current solicitation.	The CMMC workflow collects evidence, scores in-scope controls, drafts the SSP and POA&M, and holds them for the senior official's review. It does not certify the organization.
DISA STIGs and DoD 8140Official source ↗	Harden systems to applicable STIGs, and plan the cyber workforce by work role.	STIG checks can export results for the customer's assessment system. Workforce views show which roles are covered by people, by governed agents, or by neither.

Typical workflows

Illustrative missions, with a person still in control

These workflows show how documented capabilities apply. They are not customer case studies, and they do not describe a guaranteed outcome.

Monthly continuous monitoring

Problem: An ISSO must deliver scan, configuration, and POA&M updates for several systems, and some evidence sources go stale.
What the platform does: Scheduled checks refresh vulnerability and STIG results, map new findings to controls, and open POA&M items. A freshness view flags sources that have stopped reporting.
Human approval: The ISSO reviews new milestones and any risk acceptance. Nothing is accepted automatically.
Evidence: An updated POA&M, STIG results, a monitoring status report, and a signed evidence package.

Draft an authorization package from live evidence

Problem: A new system needs an SSP, SAR, and POA&M, and the team is still writing them from spreadsheets.
What the platform does: Document generation drafts the package from profiles, boundaries, controls, and collected evidence. Drafts stay pending until an operator signs them.
Human approval: The system owner and assessor decide what is submitted. The authorizing official still makes the authorization decision.
Evidence: Control data suitable for OSCAL export, a SAR draft, a POA&M, and an evidence manifest.

Test an agent before it is fielded

Problem: A program office must show that a mission agent stays accurate, resists manipulation, and remains inside policy.
What the platform does: Benchmarks, adversarial tests, human review, and a mission trace run before the agent is cleared for use.
Human approval: Named reviewers decide contested results. The agent stays out of production until the certification gate passes.
Evidence: A tamper-evident package of scores, adjudications, traces, and adversarial results for authorizing-official review.

Operate without an outside network

Problem: A team needs detection, STIG checks, and compliance evidence on a network that cannot call a hosted model.
What the platform does: The platform installs from an offline bundle and uses local models. Detection and evidence stay inside the customer boundary.
Human approval: Identity changes, deployments, and other high-impact actions still wait for a person.
Evidence: Local evidence records and STIG results, with no dependency on an external AI provider.

Agent roles and workflows

A practical route from scope to evidence

01
Scope and connect
Define the customer profile, authorized assets, and responsible owners. Evidence-ready operations for agencies, defense contractors, and mission systems.
02
Test and investigate
Use RMF evidence, SCAP/STIG, threat hunting workflows with approved credentials and mission limits. Preserve source evidence and failures alongside findings.
03
Remediate and verify
Assign corrective work, obtain approvals, capture changes, and retest. Export the evidence, exceptions, and status history for business owners and assessors.

Questions for this sector

Answers you can take to a scoping call

Is AI SOAR FedRAMP authorized?+

No. ZeroTrusted.ai is customer-hosted software built to FedRAMP High security requirements, with STIG-hardened Kubernetes deployment configurations. It does not claim a FedRAMP authorization. Agencies and contractors can install it inside their own authorization boundary and use the configuration and evidence workflows to support their assessment.

Can the platform shorten authorization work?+

It can draft SSP, SAR, and POA&M content from live evidence and export control data for review. Every AI-drafted document stays pending until a person approves it. The authorizing official still decides.

How does it support an agency AI inventory?+

The inventory can record AI use cases, models, endpoints, and unsanctioned tools. Governance approvals, health checks, and adversarial tests supply the evidence for higher-impact systems. Impact ratings stay with the accountable officials.

Can it run disconnected from the public internet?+

Yes. Air-gapped and disrupted-network installs can use a local bundle and local models. Handling banners can be configured for the customer's environment. Accreditation of that environment remains the customer's.

Does the platform certify a company for CMMC?+

No. It supports Level 1 through Level 3 preparation with evidence collection, control scoring, and SSP and POA&M drafts. The senior official reviews them before any affirmation. Confirm whether the current contract requires a self-assessment or a later assessment type.
