Net-Inspect is a secure, enterprise-grade cloud platform built to protect sensitive, mission-critical, and regulated data for organizations operating globally. Committed to operational excellence and robust quality management, Net-Inspect supports compliance with federal compliance standards by aligning with the security controls and standards established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Our security program is independently validated against the FedRAMP® Moderate security baseline, one of the most rigorous cloud security frameworks in use worldwide and derived from NIST SP 800-53.
This alignment gives our customers across industries a consistently high standard of security, resilience, and operational discipline, regardless of where they operate. By implementing controls and quality processes, Net-Inspect ensures consistent quality and meets the needs of the public sector and federal government. FedRAMP compliance ensures that sensitive federal data handled by cloud services is secure, resilient, and compliant with FISMA and NIST requirements.
In January 2024, the U.S. Department of Defense issued guidance clarifying that cloud service providers without direct U.S. Government contracts may demonstrate compliance with defense security requirements through FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency assessments conducted by a FedRAMP-accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO).
Net-Inspect undergoes annual FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency assessments in alignment with this memorandum. These assessments validate that our platform implements administrative, technical, and physical security controls comparable to those required for high-assurance government cloud systems.
While this guidance originates in U.S. defense policy, the FedRAMP Moderate baseline has become a recognized global benchmark for cloud security assurance, making it relevant for regulated manufacturers worldwide.
FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency demonstrates that a cloud platform implements the full FedRAMP Moderate control baseline without requiring direct government sponsorship. Service providers supporting defense, aerospace, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure organizations commonly use this approach.
Net-Inspect's security posture is grounded in this equivalency model and validated through independent assessment:
Coalfire Systems, Inc., a FedRAMP-accredited 3PAO, performs our annual assessments. Each assessment includes independent validation of our System Security Plan (SSP), Security Assessment Plan (SAP), Security Assessment Report (SAR), and Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M).
Net-Inspect is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as FedRAMP Ready, reflecting independent 3PAO assessment and alignment with the FedRAMP Moderate baseline. This supports customers' CMMC 2.0 and DFARS requirements when using cloud services for FCI or CUI.
For organizations handling export-controlled technical data, Net-Inspect provides the infrastructure and controls necessary to maintain compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
Net-Inspect's ITAR compliance includes:
These controls allow supply chain collaboration to continue while technical data stays protected.
Many organizations operate within supply chains subject to defense or national security requirements. Net-Inspect supports these environments by aligning with security expectations referenced in programs such as CMMC 2.0 and DFARS.
Net-Inspect is not directly subject to CMMC certification requirements, as CMMC applies to DoD contractors and subcontractors within the scope of 32 CFR Part 170 rather than to independent cloud service providers. However, for customers with CMMC 2.0 requirements, 32 CFR Part 170 specifies that defense contractors must confirm their Cloud Service Providers meet FedRAMP Moderate Baseline or equivalent requirements.
Net-Inspect works directly with customer security, compliance, and audit teams to support transparency and readiness. For additional information about our security posture, compliance documentation, or independent assessments, please contact us.
Q: What is FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency?
A: FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency means a cloud platform has been independently assessed by a FedRAMP-accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and found to implement 100% of the FedRAMP Moderate security controls derived from NIST SP 800-53. The U.S. Department of Defense recognizes this approach for cloud providers supporting defense contractors without direct government contracts.
Q: Is Net-Inspect ITAR compliant?
A: Yes. Net-Inspect fully adheres to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). All customer data is hosted in secure U.S.-based data centers, and access is restricted to background-checked U.S. citizens, exceeding the "U.S. Persons" requirement.
Q: Does Net-Inspect have FedRAMP Authorization?
A: Net-Inspect is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as FedRAMP Ready and is actively pursuing full FedRAMP Authorization through a U.S. Government agency sponsor. Our platform currently maintains FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency through annual independent 3PAO assessments.
Q: How does Net-Inspect support CMMC 2.0 compliance?
A: Net-Inspect is not itself subject to CMMC requirements. However, we support customers' CMMC 2.0 programs by maintaining FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, providing a complete Body of Evidence for audits, and meeting DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements for incident reporting and forensic readiness.
Q: Who performs Net-Inspect's security assessments?
A: Coalfire Systems, Inc., a FedRAMP-accredited Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and recognized leader in cybersecurity assurance, performs Net-Inspect's annual FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency assessments.
