Knox Systems to Help LeapXpert Accelerate FedRAMP Certification Process
LeapXpert, a leader in responsible business communication, announced it is collaborating with Knox Systems (Knox), the largest federal AI-managed cloud provider, to speed its path to Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certification.
Already deployed in federal agencies with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, LeapXpert's pursuit of FedRAMP authorization extends that trust to a broader set of agencies, the company said.
Federal employees are increasingly conducting official business on Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS, and other consumer messaging apps that sit outside agency IT visibility and control—transmitting sensitive data across unvetted infrastructure and potentially exposing it to human error and bad actors.
Utilizing these unmanaged messaging applications leaves no centralized records, subverting National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) record retention requirements and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) obligations.
With federal mandates requiring end-to-end (E2E) encrypted messaging with logging and archival, agencies must ensure compliance with these requirements without pulling employees off the communication channels they are using efficiently.
LeapXpert unifies communications governance across every channel including SMS, Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, and other consumer messaging apps. By facilitating and capturing communications, the LeapXpert Communications Platform provides complete, audit-ready records uploaded directly to required archive repositories (GovCloud, NARA, FOIA), real-time supervision of employee communications across messaging applications, and faster, more defensible responses to FOIA requests, congressional inquiries, and inspector general investigations, the company said.
“The communications compliance gap inside federal agencies is one of the most significant blind spots in government technology today. Critical conversations are increasingly happening on modern messaging channels, yet many agencies still lack the visibility, governance, and control required to manage them effectively. At LeapXpert, we believe responsible business communication should extend to every channel employees use. We’re helping agencies close this gap by enabling officials to communicate via their preferred channels while maintaining governance, security, and compliance requirements,” said Dima Gutzeit, Founder and CEO at LeapXpert. “Obtaining FedRAMP authorization is a strategic goal for LeapXpert, and that’s why we partnered with Knox to accelerate our path to certification and get LeapXpert’s mission-ready messaging security into more federal agencies.”
Knox eliminates the FedRAMP certification complexity, significantly reducing timelines and costs. As a result, LeapXpert’s team can focus on ensuring that every mission-critical conversation receives the same governance, security, and intelligence that their enterprise customers receive, said the vendors.
“Federal agencies need access to technologies that empower employees to utilize modern communications applications without sacrificing security or compliance with requirements,” said Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox Systems. “By expediting LeapXpert’s FedRAMP journey, Knox is enabling more agencies to gain access to their federal-grade, zero-trust ready governance across communication channels.”
