Our take
It goes without saying that national security is of extremely high importance, and billions of relevant currencies are fuelled into achieving the highest standards each year. Second Front Systems fast-tracks government access to disruptive, commercially-proven, SaaS applications for national security missions.
Founded in 2014 by two former U. Marines, they used experience of outdated technology and systems to power the company's national security mission. Since its founding, Second Front has developed a DevSecOps platform and several AWS GovCloud solutions.
As the company grows, its impact is now reaching far beyond the US. A bridging mission, to align how allied nations deploy, secure and accredit critical software, is starting to take concrete form, with ten customers preparing to deploy onto the upcoming AWS European Sovereign Cloud through Game Warden. By helping ISVs inherit key controls and meet strict standards, Second Front is creating a practical pathway for secure software to operate seamlessly across US, UK and Europe.
