Authorization for Government Agencies

Secure classified data, enforce need-to-know access, and modernize legacy systems without slowing down mission-critical operations.

Secure Cross-Agency Data Sharing

Share information securely across agencies while enforcing need-to-know and classification-based restrictions automatically.

Clearance-based Access Control

Grant access based on security clearance, need-to-know, and non-disclosure agreements, the same attributes DoD already uses for Zero Trust architectures. 

Legacy System Modernization Path

Externalize authorization from aging applications so policy updates happen instantly, without any costly custom code changes.

Key Challenges

A Collaborative, Transparent, and Accountable Way of Working

Agencies must protect classified and sensitive data while still enabling the collaboration citizens and coalition partners expect.

  • RBAC through IGA is a good start, but static roles alone cause role explosion over time.
  • Cross-agency and coalition data sharing requires precise, auditable control over who sees what.
  • Zero Trust mandates require dynamic, context-aware access decisions, not one-time authentication.

Why It Matters Now

Zero Trust Has Moved from Best Practice to a Federal Mandate

Executive Order 14028 requires all U.S. federal agencies to adopt Zero Trust architecture, making dynamic, attribute-based access control a compliance requirement rather than an option. Agencies that still rely on static roles and perimeter security are exposed to risk they may not even see.

For 20 years, Axiomatics has helped public sector organizations apply NIST's attribute-based access control (ABAC) framework, considering who, what, where, when, why, and how, so access decisions reflect real mission context rather than a static assigned role alone.

Authorization Across Government Services

Fine-Grained Data Access

Control exactly who can see a citizen's benefits, tax, or immigration record, and under what conditions, using role, attributes, and case context. Caseworkers see only what their specific case requires, nothing more.

AI Agent Governance

AI copilots and case-triage agents now process claims and flag fraud risk alongside caseworkers. Apply the same policy-driven authorization to what an AI agent can read or approve as any staff member, fully logged and auditable.

Eligibility Verification

Securely verify eligibility across agencies, checking income, immigration, or employment status without exposing full records. Share only the attribute needed to confirm eligibility, keeping the rest of the record private.

Location-Based Access

Restrict access based on where a caseworker is connecting from, whether a regional office, call center, or approved remote setup. Automatically deny requests from unrecognized locations to protect sensitive citizen data.

Fraud Detection & Audit

Log every access decision in detail, capturing who viewed a case, when, and why. Give fraud investigators and auditors the transparency needed to detect benefit and tax fraud and support internal or legal investigations.

Break-the-Glass Access

Allow controlled overrides of access policies in life-threatening emergencies, granting immediate access to critical patient records while maintaining full audit trails of every access decision and action taken.

Where Axiomatics Makes the Difference

How We Reduce Risk and Modernize With Confidence

Every agency faces the same core mission: protecting sensitive data, staying compliant with federal mandates, and modernizing without disruption. Axiomatics addresses all three — with fine-grained, policy-driven authorization that governs every user, application, and AI agent across your environment. Explore how below.

Contain the Damage

Fine-grained, attribute-based policies mean a compromised account or insider threat only exposes what that specific context allows, not an entire role's worth of standing access.

  • Enforce need-to-know access down to the individual record.
  • Automatically revoke access when clearance or context changes.
  • Apply Zero Trust conditions at every access request, not just login.

Prove Compliance

Every access decision is logged with full context, giving agencies a real-time, exportable audit trail for FISMA, FedRAMP, NIST 800-207, and coalition data-sharing requirements.

  • Generate audit-ready logs for every access decision automatically.
  • Map policies directly to regulatory and clearance requirements.
  • Demonstrate Zero Trust compliance for federal mandates.

Modernize with Ease

Externalizing authorization removes hardcoded rules from applications, cutting development time, lowering operational costs, and avoiding downtime during future policy updates.

  • Update access policies instantly across every connected system.
  • Reduce role explosion by replacing static roles with attributes.
  • Free developers from hardcoding authorization logic into apps.

FAQs

AI agents are treated like any other identity. Policies define exactly what data an agent can read or act on, and every decision is logged the same way as a human caseworker's.

 

No. Policy-driven authorization sits alongside your existing IGA/RBAC systems, adding attributes and context on top of roles rather than requiring a rip-and-replace.

Every access decision is logged with full context, giving fraud teams a clear, auditable trail of who viewed a case, when, and why, without waiting for a manual review to catch it.

Yes. Policies can share a single verified attribute, such as income or immigration status, so eligibility can be confirmed without exposing the full underlying record.

It evaluates every access request in real time against attributes like clearance, location, and context, rather than relying on a one-time login — which is the core requirement of Executive Order 14028.
