For federal agencies, regional governments, and national digital services that need test automation behind firewalls, not in a vendor's cloud. SBOX runs in GovCloud, your VPC, or fully private infrastructure, and keeps procurement compliant via the Carahsoft channel.
Used by U.S. federal agencies to support secure browser testing behind the firewall.
For federal agencies, regional governments, and national digital services that cannot use public SaaS, SBOX runs on a private testing grid the agency controls. Citizen data stays inside the agency perimeter. Procurement clears through Carahsoft.
Federal civilian agencies, national digital services, and security-critical public-sector organizations cannot route test data through a vendor's multi-tenant cloud. Procurement teams reject the model outright. Security review flags the vendor's data egress as a blocker.
Element34 SBOX runs single-tenant in GovCloud or in the agency's own infrastructure. Test data, session recordings, and AI prompts stay inside the agency perimeter. Architecture documentation supports the security review without retrofitted attestations.
Agencies that need test automation under FedRAMP face a sparse supplier landscape. The sourcing process can stall for quarters before procurement clears a new vendor. Existing public-SaaS tools lack the architecture for a FedRAMP-aligned deployment.
SBOX is designed to a FedRAMP-aligned architecture (single-tenant, customer-controlled keys, audit logs, zero data egress) and is available through the Carahsoft procurement channel, which agencies already use. This shortens the path from technical fit to signed contract.
GDPR, state-level privacy law, and national data-sovereignty rules require citizen data to stay inside a defined jurisdiction. Public-SaaS test grids move data into vendor regions that shift over time, which the residency reviewer cannot verify.
Managed Private Cloud is region-pinned at deployment (GovCloud, EU-Central, EU-West, UK, Switzerland). VPC runs inside the agency cloud account. Private Cloud runs in the agency datacenter. Citizen data never crosses into Element34 infrastructure in any deployment.
Intelligence-adjacent and defense-adjacent civilian workloads sometimes need to run without any external connectivity. Most public-SaaS test grids cannot operate at all without internet access to vendor infrastructure, which makes them non-starters.
SBOX in Private Cloud installs into the agency's existing Kubernetes platform with no vendor telemetry after image pull. SBOX in VPC runs inside the agency cloud account with no external connectivity to Element34 during normal operation. Air-gap operation is documented and supported.
AI runs inside the agency tenant. AI calls the agency's model, not a vendor's. AI writes to the agency audit trail. Every capability, every time.
Plain-English benefits-portal test scenarios compiled into Selenium Java. AI authoring respects agency security review.

Run SBOX on your dedicated infrastructure, fully behind your firewall. For organizations with hard data-residency mandates or disconnected operation requirements.
Element34 runs a dedicated, single-tenant SBOX environment for you, pinned to your region. 24x7 SLA, white-glove operations.
Deploy SBOX inside your AWS, Azure, or GCP account. Single-tenant inside your VPC with PrivateLink at the edge.
Same SBOX, same controls — only who operates it changes. Compare deployments →
SBOX is FedRAMP-aligned and GovCloud-ready by architecture. Six controls a federal procurement, security, and audit team actually checks before contract.
Application data, citizen PII, session recordings, and AI prompts stay inside the agency perimeter across all deployment modes. Aligned to FedRAMP and EU data sovereignty.
FedRAMP-alignedNo shared compute, no shared storage, no multi-tenant database. Per-agency isolation across every deployment. Procurement signs on architectural review.
Always single-tenantRuns without VPN tunnels or external connectivity back to Element34 infrastructure. The agency network is the only network in the chain.
Zero-trust postureManaged Private Cloud is region-pinned at deployment. GovCloud, EU-Central, EU-West, UK, Switzerland supported. Customer-defined regions in VPC and Private Cloud.
Region-pinnedYour model subscription. Your prompts. Your AI governance review. SBOX AI calls the agency's own LLM provider; Element34 never sees a prompt.
BYO LLMSession-level and user-level logs, exportable to your agency SOC. Splunk, IBM QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel supported natively. Auditable end-to-end.
Customer SIEM exportA US federal civilian agency operating a public-facing benefits portal replaced a public-cloud testing SaaS with SBOX, single-tenant in customer-managed GovCloud. The driver: a $40M regression coverage backlog and a procurement team that had rejected public-SaaS test grids.
The previous testing approach left a $40M backlog of regression coverage on the public-facing benefits portal. The agency could not adopt public-SaaS test grids because procurement and security review rejected the multi-tenant cloud model and the data-egress posture. Existing tooling could not run inside GovCloud at the parallel-execution scale the portal needed.
Element34 deployed SBOX as a Managed Private Cloud inside a customer-managed GovCloud tenant, with the Carahsoft procurement channel handling the contract. Integrated the agency's AI provider for Auto Heal and Automated RCA, and wired session-level audit logs into the agency SOC.
Whether you are scoping SBOX against FedRAMP, replacing a public-cloud testing SaaS that does not clear federal procurement, or planning a Managed Private Cloud pinned to GovCloud, we are ready to talk. We will scope your deployment, share the architecture documentation your security review needs, route the contract through Carahsoft, and run a working AI demo against a non-production agency app you choose.
