Government Software Development Built for Public Sector Requirements
Security controls, accessibility compliance, and audit-ready architecture for agencies and GovTech vendors operating under government procurement and oversight standards.
Government Software Has Distinct Technical and Compliance Requirements
Public sector software operates under requirements that few commercial development teams have encountered. Security controls must satisfy FISMA or state equivalents. Accessibility is a legal obligation under Section 508 and WCAG standards, not a nice-to-have. Procurement processes require detailed technical documentation before contracts are awarded. And everything must withstand oversight from legislators, auditors, and the public in ways that private sector software does not.
GovTech vendors face an additional layer of complexity: their product must satisfy not just their own technical requirements but the security and compliance review processes of every government customer they sell to. FedRAMP authorization, StateRAMP certification, and agency-specific ATOs require documented security controls, continuous monitoring, and evidence collection that most commercial software products are not designed to produce.
We design government and GovTech software with these requirements as structural constraints. Security controls are implemented and documented for the authorization processes your customers require. Accessibility is validated against WCAG standards, not assumed. Audit logging is designed for the oversight environment government systems operate in.
What We Build for Government
- Citizen-facing digital services — Accessible public-facing applications built to WCAG 2.1 AA standards with security controls appropriate for government systems
- Agency internal tools — Secure workflow applications, document management systems, and operational tools for government staff with appropriate access controls and audit logging
- GovTech SaaS platforms — Multi-tenant platforms designed for government procurement with documented security controls, FedRAMP-aware architecture, and accessibility compliance
- AI-assisted government services — Retrieval-augmented systems for government knowledge bases and service delivery, with transparency and human oversight requirements built in
- Data integration and reporting systems — Pipelines connecting government data sources with appropriate access controls and audit trails for public records obligations
- Grants and case management systems — Workflow platforms for grants administration, benefits eligibility, and case management with the auditability government processes require
Frequently Asked Questions
We can implement the technical controls that FedRAMP authorization requires and produce the system security plan documentation that describes them. FedRAMP authorization itself involves a Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) and the JAB or agency authorization process—we support the technical side of that process, not the authorization review itself.
Accessibility is a design constraint, not a post-launch audit. We build WCAG 2.1 AA conformance into component design and conduct accessibility testing throughout development using both automated tools and manual review. We produce VPAT documentation for products that require it as part of government procurement.
Both. State and local government requirements vary significantly—some states have FedRAMP equivalents like StateRAMP, others have agency-specific security frameworks. We assess the specific requirements of your government customers and design systems that satisfy them.
Yes. AI in government contexts requires particular care around transparency, explainability, and human oversight—especially for systems that inform decisions affecting citizens. We design government AI systems with retrieval-first approaches where possible, mandatory human review for consequential outputs, and audit logging that allows oversight bodies to understand and review what the system did.
