SandboxAQ Unveils Path to Post-Quantum Security for US Agencies

SandboxAQ announced its achievement of Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Ready status on December 4, 2025, demonstrating standardized security controls consistent with the FedRAMP framework. This designation signifies the readiness of AQtive Guard, SandboxAQ’s solution, for government use in modernizing cryptography and strengthening cyber resilience. According to the 2025 AI Security Benchmark Report, 79% of organizations are already utilizing AI in production, yet only 28% have completed a comprehensive AI risk assessment. This FedRAMP Ready status provides federal agencies with a standardized evaluation path for AQtive Guard, facilitating secure, large-scale AI deployment and post-quantum cryptography adoption. SandboxAQ Achieves FedRAMP Ready Status SandboxAQ announced it has achieved FedRAMP Ready status on December 4, 2025, demonstrating standardized security controls and readiness for government use. This designation follows an independent, third-party assessment and eligibility for listing in the FedRAMP Marketplace. Achieving FedRAMP Ready signifies SandboxAQ’s commitment to robust security as agencies modernize cryptography and address increasing risks from AI, offering a standardized way to evaluate their AQtive Guard solution. AQtive Guard, SandboxAQ’s solution, supports large-scale modernization by updating legacy cryptography and prioritizing cryptographic risks. The 2025 AI Security Benchmark Report shows that 79% of organizations are already running AI in production, but only 28% have completed a comprehensive AI risk assessment. With FedRAMP Ready status, agencies can utilize AQtive Guard for automated cryptographic discovery, posture management, and planning for post-quantum migration. Beyond FedRAMP Ready, SandboxAQ has also received a SOC 2 Type I report for AQtive Guard and ISO/IEC 27001 certification covering the entire company. CEO Jack Hidary emphasized that achieving FedRAMP Ready is about building trust with agencies as they protect critical infrastructure. SandboxAQ delivers solutions at the intersection of AI and quantum techniques through its Large Quantitative Models (LQMs), emerging from Alphabet Inc. as an independent company. AQtive Guard Capabilities and Features AQtive Guard offers complete visibility into critical vulnerabilities stemming from both weak encryption and the increasing number of AI agents and non-human identities (NHIs). It doesn’t just identify these risks, but also provides assessment and remediation capabilities. This is particularly important as the 2025 AI Security Benchmark Report indicates 79% of organizations are already using AI in production, yet only 28% have completed a comprehensive risk assessment related to it. For federal agencies, AQtive Guard supports large-scale modernization efforts by updating legacy cryptography across various environments. The system helps teams prioritize cryptographic risks within existing security programs and facilitates planning for the adoption of post-quantum cryptography. Achieving FedRAMP Ready status provides a standardized framework for evaluating AQtive Guard, allowing agencies to move faster while meeting federal requirements and confirming SandboxAQ’s security posture. AQtive Guard’s capabilities include automated cryptographic discovery and inventory, cryptographic posture management, and post-quantum migration planning. SandboxAQ has also received a SOC 2 Type I report and ISO/IEC 27001 certification for AQtive Guard, further demonstrating its commitment to security. It is now listed as FedRAMP Ready in the FedRAMP Marketplace, providing agencies with a standardized path for evaluation and deployment. As agencies confront the accelerating risk of AI, the 2025 AI Security Benchmark Report shows 79% of organizations already run AI in production, yet only 28% have completed a comprehensive AI risk assessment. SandboxAQ’s Background and Solutions SandboxAQ delivers solutions combining AI and quantum techniques, specifically through its Large Quantitative Models (LQMs). These LQMs are designed to advance sectors including life sciences, financial services, and navigation. The company originated from Alphabet Inc. and is now independently funded by investors such as T. Rowe Price, IQT, and others. This backing supports the development and deployment of its technology aimed at solving complex problems across various industries. SandboxAQ has achieved FedRAMP Ready status, demonstrating standardized security controls for government use. This designation allows federal agencies to evaluate AQtive Guard – a solution providing visibility, assessment, and remediation of vulnerabilities related to weak encryption and AI agents – within a unified framework. Achieving this status reflects a commitment to trust and security as agencies modernize cryptography and strengthen cyber resilience. AQtive Guard supports large-scale modernization by updating legacy cryptography and prioritizing cryptographic risks. SandboxAQ has also received a SOC 2 Type I report and ISO/IEC 27001 certificate, further validating its security posture. The company is now listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace, providing agencies with a standardized path to evaluate AQtive Guard for automated cryptographic discovery, posture management, and post-quantum migration planning.
