Public sector, built for mandates

Get compliant and reduce complexity at the same time

Federal credentialing mandates keep stacking up, and most were written faster than agencies can re-architect for. Axiad Conductor is FedRAMP Moderate authorized with security controls pre-mapped to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, so you meet phishing-resistant MFA, Zero Trust, and identity proofing requirements from one platform instead of a dozen projects.

The foundation

A FedRAMP Moderate foundation does the heavy lifting

Pre-mapped security controls

Axiad Conductor aligns to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, so your assessors start from a mapping instead of a blank page.

Inherited compliance

FedRAMP authorization lets your agency inherit 325 or more security controls rather than implementing them yourselves.

Automated audit trails

Logging and compliance reporting are generated automatically, so audit prep stops being a manual scramble.

Boundary documentation

Authorization boundary and security assessment documentation are ready for your ATO package.

Mandate by Mandate

The requirement, the gap, and how Axiad closes it

Expand any mandate to see where agencies get stuck and what Axiad does about it.

OMB M-22-09
Phishing-resistant MFA
The requirement

Agency-wide phishing-resistant MFA for every user.

The gap

PIV and CAC programs do not cover contractors, temporary staff, or remote personnel, so those populations fall outside the mandate.

How Axiad meets it

Unified credential management extends phishing-resistant authentication to everyone through PIV-compatible and PIV-derived credentials, with no PIVprogram expansion.

Executive Order 14028
Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity
The requirement

Zero Trust architecture with phishing-resistant authentication.

The gap

Getting there usually means an infrastructure overhaul agencies do not have the time or budgetfor.

How Axiad meets it

Centralized, cloud-native credential control delivers phishing-resistant authentication without replacing your identity providers or standing up new hardware.

CISA
Zero Trust Maturity Model 2.0
The requirement

Advanced identity assurance and device trust.

The gap

Identity assurance and device certificates are usually managed by different tools and teams.

How Axiad meets it

A single platform manages PIV-compatible credentials and device certificates together, so identity and device trust advance on the same clock.

NIST SP 800-63-4 and FIPS 201-3
Digital identity and PIV
The requirement

Modern authenticator management 
and identity proofing.

The gap

Legacy PKI was not built for cloud-native authenticator management or automated proofing.

How Axiad meets it

Cloud-native PKI as a Service manages modern authenticators, and Axiad Confirm automates identity proofing to IAL2. The platform is designed tosupport post-quantum cryptography.

NIST SP 800-157
Derived PIV credentials
The requirement

High-assurance derived credentials for personnel who cannot carry a PIV card.

The gap

Issuing derived credentials by hand is slow and does not scale to a mobile or remote workforce.

How Axiad meets it

Self-service issuance of PIV-derived credentials to non-PIV personnel that meets NIST AAL3 and OMB M-22-09 guidelines, with auditable revocation.

CMMC 2.0
Level 2 and above
The requirement

Credentialing and access control for defense contractors handling controlled unclassified information.

The gap

Contractors need high-assurance access fast, oftenbefore a full PIV process can complete.

How Axiad meets it

Rapid provisioning of phishing-resistant, high-assurance credentials for contractor and 
mission-partner populations, with the audit trail assessors expect.

DAFMAN 17-1304
Air Force ICAM
The requirement

Phishing-resistant MFA at AAL2 and AAL3, credential lifecycle automation, Zero Trust least privilege, hardware-backed identity proofing for tactical environments, and mission-partner credentialing.

The gap

Tactical and disconnected environments make centralized credential management hard.

How Axiad meets it

One platform covers AAL2 and AAL3 authentication, automated lifecycle management, and hardware-backed proofing, with on-premises and air-gapped deployment for tactical use.

DoDI 8500.01 and DoDI 8520.04
Cybersecurity and PKI
The requirement

Strong, non-anonymous authentication across all systems, public key enablement, attribute governance with least privilege, and auditing 
of all access.

The gap

Meeting all four across a hybrid estate usually takes several disconnected systems.

How Axiad meets it

Public key enabled credentials, least-privilege attribute governance, and automated access auditing from a single, continuously monitored platform.

NIST
IR 8523
The requirement

Guidance for modern federal credential management.

The gap

Guidance is continuously updating, making it hard to stay compliant.

How Axiad meets it

Axiad Conductor aligns to current federal credentialing guidance and updates as it evolves.

Policy direction

Buy commercial, buy faster

Current federal procurement guidance favors commercial products over custom builds. Axiad fits the direction of travel.

Commercial-first procurement

Federal procurement guidance now favors commercially available products over custom builds. Axiad is a mature, commercially available platform, not a bespoke integration project.

Contract review and FAR simplification

Agencies are being pushed toward commercial alternatives through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, NASA SEWP, and other transaction authority frameworks. Axiad is available on all of them.

Bring your mandate list. We will map it.

Trusted by the Department of Defense, the CDC, and civilian agencies alike, Axiad is the mission-aligned ICAM platform built for evolving federal cybersecurity mandates. Meet with our federal team and we will map your requirements to the platform, control by control.
