Secure Government Networks. Zero Infrastructure.
Meet federal compliance requirements without deploying on-premise RADIUS servers. SOC 2 Type II certified cloud authentication with NIST 800-171 alignment, CJIS-ready controls, and US data residency.
Government WiFi authentication requires meeting strict compliance frameworks including NIST 800-171, CJIS Security Policy, and FedRAMP. IronWiFi provides cloud-based RADIUS authentication with SOC 2 Type II certification, certificate-based 802.1X, MFA integration, comprehensive audit logging, and US data residency options for federal, state, and local government agencies.
How Does IronWiFi Map to Government Frameworks?
Built on SOC 2 Type II foundations with alignment to the frameworks your agency requires
SOC 2 Type II
Certified
Independent audit verification of security controls covering availability, confidentiality, and processing integrity across our entire platform.
NIST 800-171
Controls Mapped
Access control (3.1), audit and accountability (3.3), identification and authentication (3.5), and system protection (3.13) requirements addressed.
CJIS Security Policy
Policy Ready
Advanced authentication, encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging, and access control enforcement meeting CJIS requirements for criminal justice networks.
FedRAMP Readiness
In Progress
Platform architecture aligned with FedRAMP requirements. SOC 2 Type II provides baseline controls. Contact us for current authorization status and compliance documentation.
StateRAMP
Aligned
Meeting StateRAMP security requirements for state and local government cloud adoption with continuous monitoring and standardized security assessments.
FISMA
Controls Mapped
Security controls aligned with FISMA requirements and NIST SP 800-53 control families for federal information systems protection.
Which Government Agencies Use Cloud RADIUS?

Why Cloud RADIUS for Government?
Eliminate the cost and complexity of on-premise authentication infrastructure
Eliminate On-Premise Servers
No RADIUS hardware to deploy, patch, or maintain. Reduce your IT footprint and operational overhead.
Reduce Attack Surface
Cloud-managed authentication means fewer exposed endpoints in your network perimeter.
Automated Compliance Reporting
Generate audit trails and compliance reports on demand for your security assessors and inspectors general.
Multi-Site Management
Manage authentication policies across all agency locations from a single console with role-based access.
Security Features Built for Government
Cloud security controls that meet the demands of public sector security
Certificate-Based Authentication
802.1X with EAP-TLS certificate authentication eliminates password-based vulnerabilities. Managed PKI with automated certificate lifecycle.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Integrate with your existing MFA provider. Support for TOTP, push notifications, and PIV/CAC smart card authentication.
Role-Based Access Control
Granular RBAC aligned with government organizational structures. Separate admin roles for network, security, and audit functions.
Comprehensive Audit Logging
Every authentication event logged with timestamp, source, result, and policy applied. Tamper-evident logs exportable to your SIEM.
Data Residency Options
Choose from 6 global data center regions. US government clients can enforce US-only data residency for all authentication data.
FIPS 140-2 Compatible Encryption
TLS 1.2/1.3 encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest. All cryptographic operations use FIPS-validated modules.
How Does the Security Architecture Work?
End-to-end encrypted authentication with isolated tenant environments
Agency Devices
Laptops, phones, IoT
Access Points
802.1X / RADIUS
IronWiFi Cloud
Encrypted RADIUS
Identity Provider
AD / Microsoft Entra ID / Okta
Encryption Everywhere
TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest. No plaintext credentials ever traverse the network.
Isolated Tenant Environments
Each agency gets a logically isolated environment. No cross-tenant data access is possible.
Redundant Infrastructure
Multi-region failover with high-availability SLA. Authentication continues even during maintenance windows.
SIEM Integration
Export authentication logs to Splunk, Elastic, or your agency SIEM via webhooks and syslog.
Simplified Government Procurement
We understand government buying cycles and can work with your contracting office
GSA Schedule Compatibility
Working toward GSA Schedule listing for streamlined federal procurement. Currently available through standard purchase orders.
Volume Pricing for Agencies
Dedicated government pricing tiers with volume discounts for large deployments across multiple agency locations.
Dedicated Government Support
Priority support with US-based engineers. Dedicated account management for agency deployments with SLA-backed response times.
Government-Specific Questions
Common questions from public sector IT teams
Is IronWiFi FedRAMP authorized?
IronWiFi is on the FedRAMP readiness path. Our SOC 2 Type II certification covers many of the same controls. We can provide a detailed compliance mapping document for your authorization review.
Where is government data stored?
We operate across 6 global data center regions. US government clients can select US-only data residency to ensure authentication logs and user data never leave US jurisdiction.
Does IronWiFi meet CJIS requirements?
Yes. We support the authentication, encryption, audit logging, and access control requirements of the CJIS Security Policy for criminal justice information access.
What procurement vehicles are available?
We accept standard purchase orders, support micro-purchase thresholds, and are working toward GSA Schedule availability. We can work with your contracting office on requirements.
Do we need security clearances?
No clearances required. IronWiFi is a commercial cloud service. Your agency maintains full control of access policies, and our support staff undergoes background checks.
Can you integrate with our identity provider?
Yes. We integrate with Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and other SAML/LDAP providers commonly used in government, enabling SSO and centralized identity management.
