Second Front

Founded 2014

Deploy applications to regulated government networks and obtain DoD and FedRAMP compliance accreditations

You can use Second Front to package, test, and release commercial applications into secure government and defense environments. The service automates security scanning and accreditation paperwork required for Department of Defense Authority to Operate and FedRAMP clearance. Developers can continuously build code in compliant workspaces, manage containerized workloads, and distribute updates across classified networks or remote edge devices. By inheriting pre-configured compliance controls, engineering teams bypass typical regulatory delays, track operational monitoring telemetry, and deliver cloud services directly to federal agencies without rebuilding application architectures.
