Knightscope awarded authority to operate by U.S. federal government

Knightscope announced that it has received its Authority to Operate from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. This achievement means that Knightscope will eventually be listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as an approved provider for federal agencies as a next step and can also begin its deployment processes to perform on the contract awarded by the VA for its first K5 ASR. “Knightscope’s ATO achievement proves our organizational focus on cyber security and our unwavering commitment to our mission of better securing our country,” said Mercedes Soria, EVP and Chief Intelligence Officer.
