Andesite Partners with Second Front Systems to Deliver the Human-AI SOC to U.S. Department of War

The partnership fulfills a cornerstone of Andesite’s mission to protect those who protect others.

MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 10, 2025 — The Department of War and allied government agencies now can deploy advanced Human-Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security Operations Center (SOC) technologies after a new partnership between Andesite AI (Andesite) and Second Front Systems (2F).

Andesite’s Human-AI SOC will be available through 2F Game Warden, Second Front’s DevSecOps platform built to accelerate authorization and deployment across U.S. and allied government environments. The partnership gives government users a faster, authorized way to deploy Andesite’s best-in-class AI security capabilities into real-world operations.

“Andesite was founded by leaders who spent decades operating in environments where trust and security are non-negotiable,” said Brian Carbaugh, Co-Founder and CEO at Andesite. “That experience inspired us to build solutions that support and empower those who protect others. We are honored to partner with Second Front to strengthen AI security capabilities across the public sector.”

Andesite’s bona fides were further bolstered recently as the company secured a strategic investment from IQT, the not-for-profit strategic investor for the U.S. national security community and America’s allies.

“Andesite offers a unique capability built by a diverse team of national security, cybersecurity, AI, and data experts,” said Grant Whiting, Partner, Investments at IQT. “Their solution can help improve national security and keep America one step ahead of its adversaries.”

Andesite’s Human-AI SOC technology empowers cybersecurity and national security teams with actionable insights that matter most to their organization’s risk profile. It accelerates time to detect, investigate, and respond while connecting data silos and reducing inefficiencies across data sources, tools, and platforms in the security ecosystem.

“AI doesn’t win missions—deployed AI does,” said Mamie Cruse, Chief Mission Officer at Second Front. “This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering advanced AI capabilities to government operators through secure, compliant, and mission-ready deployment paths.”

From inception, Andesite has built a security, trust and safety program that permeates all of its practices. Andesite’s Safe AI Architecture™ protects customer data, applications, and networks with end-to-end encryption, no extract, transform, and load (ETL) requirements, and the assurance that their AI is not trained with customers’ data.

Andesite has achieved FedRAMP High In-Process and recently completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, HITRUST e1, and ISO 27001, 27701, and 42001 certifications.

Andesite becomes the third company in the world to achieve the CSA AI-STAR Level 2 certification

MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 28, 2025 – Andesite, the Human-AI SOC company, today announced that it has earned Level 2 certification under the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) AI-STAR program, following an independent assessment of the company’s AI security, risk management, and governance practices. The certification confirms that Andesite has implemented and operationalized globally recognized standards for the responsible development and use of AI in security-critical environments. Andesite is only the third company in the world to achieve the certification.

Andesite is also CSA STAR Level 2 certified, a rigorous third-party assessment of Andesite’s cloud security operations.

The new CSA STAR for AI framework is a parallel Level-2 certification within the CSA STAR program that focuses on AI governance. It provides a transparent, expert-driven, and consensus-based platform for organizations to assess, demonstrate, and ensure AI trustworthiness through third-party audits.

With these certifications, Andesite’s Human-AI SOC meets the expectations of organizations operating in highly regulated and high-risk environments, where AI systems must be secure, auditable, and governed with discipline. Andesite also previously signed the CSA AI Trustworthy Pledge, a public commitment to develop and manage AI responsibly.

“Organizations deploying AI in security operations need proof, not promises, which is why CSA STAR and AI-STAR Level 2 are essential,” said Dave Brown, CISO & CIO at Andesite. “More importantly, by becoming the third company in the world to achieve AI-STAR Level 2 certification, Andesite is showing that our approach to AI governance, security, and risk management stands up to independent scrutiny and operates the way customers expect in high-risk environments.”

Andesite’s Human-AI SOC is designed to support cybersecurity teams with actionable insights that matter to their organization’s risk profile. The product automates investigation and enrichment, manages high-volume alerts and threat intelligence, and accelerates time to detect, investigate, and respond, while keeping humans responsible for decisions and outcomes.

Andesite is secure and compliant by design. From inception, the company has built a security, trust and safety program that permeates all of its practices. Security is at the core of Andesite’s Human-AI SOC product. Their Safe AI Architecture™ protects customers’ data, applications, and networks with end-to-end encryption, no extract, transform, and load (ETL) requirements, and assurance that their AI is not trained on customers’ data.

The AI-STAR Level 2 certification builds on Andesite’s broader compliance posture, which includes SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, 27701, and 42001, and HITRUST certifications. Together, these assessments reflect a consistent approach to security and responsible AI governance across the company’s technology and operations.
