Summary
This case study outlines how Ask Sage, a Generative AI platform, successfully achieved compliance with FedRAMP High and DoD Impact Level 5 standards using Chainguard's secure container technology. Founded by Nicolas Chaillan in 2023, Ask Sage operates in highly regulated sectors and required a solution to navigate complex compliance requirements without sacrificing innovation. The company faced significant challenges due to the need for stringent security measures while maintaining operational momentum. By adopting Chainguard's zero-CVE containers, Ask Sage was able to eliminate thousands of vulnerabilities and expedite the accreditation process. The implementation was completed in a matter of days, allowing the team to automate documentation and evidence gathering, achieving 98% accuracy at a minimal cost. This rapid approach to compliance resulted in a significant reduction in workload and time, compressing a traditionally lengthy process into just weeks. The success of this initiative has led to the development of a productized version called ATO in a Box, designed to assist other organizations in achieving similar compliance efficiently.
