Acsense today announced a partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp. to bring the Acsense IAM Resilience Platform to U.S. federal, state, and local government agencies. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Acsense’s Master Government Aggregator, making the platform available to public-sector customers through its established portfolio of government contract vehicles. The full press release was issued April 21, 2026.
What does the Acsense-Carahsoft partnership mean for government agencies?
Government agencies can now procure the Acsense IAM Resilience Platform through Carahsoft’s federal, state, and local contract vehicles, giving agencies a purpose-built, IDP-agnostic way to protect, recover, and continuously validate their cloud identity infrastructure against outages, configuration drift, and compliance failures.
Acsense and Carahsoft announced a partnership on April 21, 2026, that makes the Acsense IAM Resilience Platform available to the U.S. public sector through Carahsoft’s government contract vehicle portfolio. For agency CIOs, CISOs, and contracting officers, the partnership removes a procurement barrier that previously slowed evaluation and gives federal, state, and local agencies a direct path to protect, recover, and continuously validate cloud identity infrastructure. Acsense is IDP-agnostic by design, with production coverage today for Okta and Microsoft Entra ID.
The Announcement
Under the partnership announced today, Acsense joins the Carahsoft portfolio of cybersecurity and resilience solutions available to federal, state, and local government customers. Agencies running any supported cloud identity provider (production coverage today: Okta, Microsoft Entra ID) can now procure the Acsense IAM Resilience Platform through the contract vehicles Carahsoft already holds, with the contract structure, invoicing, and partner support federal buyers expect.
The platform available to government customers is the same Acsense IAM Resilience Platform used by security-first enterprises in financial services, healthcare, critical infrastructure, and technology. No cut-down SKU. Same release cadence. Same five integrated capabilities: Backup & Recovery, Posture Intelligence, Configuration Management, Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery, and Identity Assurance.
Government agencies are running on the same cloud identity providers as the rest of the economy, but they carry audit obligations and mission risk that nobody else does. Partnering with Carahsoft gives them a direct path to the resilience, recovery, and compliance evidence their frameworks require, on the contract vehicles they already use.
Muli MotolaCo-founder and CEO, AcsenseWhat Changes for Government Buyers
Two things change for agency buyers as of today.
The procurement path. Agencies no longer need a direct commercial contract to evaluate or deploy Acsense. Ordering, invoicing, and compliance paperwork flow through Carahsoft, a trusted government aggregator that already holds the contract vehicles most agencies use for IT acquisition.
The scope of availability. The partnership formally extends Acsense’s coverage to federal civilian agencies, Department of Defense mission owners, and state and local governments. Any agency operating cloud identity infrastructure is in scope. Acsense is IDP-agnostic by design, with production support today for Okta and Microsoft Entra ID.
For agency CIOs, CISOs, and contracting officers, the practical result is a shorter evaluation cycle. Acsense maps live IAM configuration state against NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 control families, the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model v2.0 Identity pillar, FedRAMP-aligned continuous monitoring expectations, and CMMC 2.0 practices. Evidence generates automatically. The manual spreadsheet collection agencies run before every ATO renewal or audit cycle shrinks from weeks to hours.

Next Steps for Government Buyers
Three paths forward, depending on where an agency is in the evaluation cycle.
Scoping requirements. Review how the Acsense IAM Resilience Platform maps to the NIST SP 800-53 and CISA ZTMM controls already in your system security plan. Most agencies find at least three control families where current tooling falls short on continuous evidence.
Ready to evaluate. Request a government-focused briefing. The Acsense team walks through drift detection, recovery, and compliance mapping against a federal workload, not a generic demo.
Ready to procure. Contact Carahsoft for vehicle-specific ordering guidance. The Acsense for Government page on the Carahsoft site details available vehicles, partner support, and federal onboarding.

When was the Acsense-Carahsoft partnership announced?
April 21, 2026. The partnership makes the Acsense IAM Resilience Platform available to U.S. federal, state, and local government customers through Carahsoft’s government contract vehicle portfolio.
What contract vehicles will Acsense be available on through Carahsoft?
Specific vehicle availability and ordering guides live on the Carahsoft Acsense for Government page. Carahsoft holds a broad portfolio of federal and SLED vehicles, and agency contracting officers can engage Carahsoft directly for the appropriate vehicle based on buying authority and procurement timeline.
Does the partnership change the Acsense platform for government customers?
No. Government agencies receive the same Acsense IAM Resilience Platform used by security-first enterprises across financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. The government edition tracks the same release cadence and includes the same five capabilities: Backup & Recovery, Posture Intelligence, Configuration Management, Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery, and Identity Assurance.
Which identity providers does Acsense support?
The Acsense IAM Resilience Platform is IDP-agnostic by design, with production support today for Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, and expanding coverage on the roadmap. It delivers continuous backup, drift detection, and compliance evidence under a single baseline, including coverage for non-human identities such as service principals, API tokens, and AI agent credentials.
How does Acsense align to federal frameworks?
Acsense Identity Assurance maps live IAM configuration state against NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 control families, the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model v2.0 Identity pillar, FedRAMP-aligned continuous monitoring expectations, and CMMC 2.0 practices. Evidence generates automatically and reflects current configuration state, not point-in-time screenshots.
Is Acsense relevant for state and local agencies, not just federal?
Yes. State agencies administering federally funded programs inherit federal security requirements by contract. State and local governments aligning to CIS Controls or state-equivalent frameworks have the same backup, change tracking, and recovery obligations for identity infrastructure. The partnership makes Acsense available across federal, state, and local tiers through Carahsoft.
