Federal procurement is the largest AI customer in the world. This specification maps the seven constitutional pillars to NIST AI Risk Management Framework, CISA guidance, FedRAMP alignment, federal acquisition regulation, and state government AI readiness requirements.
← Back to CertificationThe federal government is the largest AI customer in the world. Federal agencies are deploying AI systems for benefits processing, fraud detection, immigration adjudication, healthcare delivery, and national security analysis. Every one of these systems makes decisions that affect real people.
The problem: 68% of enterprises plan to switch AI vendors within 12 months. When an agency switches, what happens to the governance framework? If it was vendor specific, it disappears. If it was constitutional, it persists.
The NIST AI Risk Management Framework provides guidance. CISA provides security direction. FedRAMP provides cloud authorization. But none of these establishes a constitutional standard for AI governance that persists across vendor transitions and agency reorganizations.
That is what Lunara provides.
America's foundational AI risk management standard. Full Govern, Map, Measure, Manage alignment.
Cloud authorization boundary mapping. Agency sponsorship and continuous monitoring alignment.
Federal information security. System categorization and control baseline mapping.
Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI. Risk based requirements and agency inventory.
Cybersecurity direction and binding operational directives for AI systems.
Federal and Defense acquisition regulation. Termination and audit clauses.
Government Accountability Office audit access and Yellow Book compliance.
Title VI, Section 508, EEOC guidance on algorithmic decision making.
When 68% of agencies are planning to switch AI vendors, the governance question becomes critical: does the governance framework survive the transition?
A vendor specific governance framework disappears when the contract ends. A constitutional governance framework persists because it is tied to the institution, not the vendor.
Agencies that require Lunara certification in their procurement language ensure that every AI vendor they work with operates under the same seven pillars. When they switch vendors, the standard does not change. The implementation changes. The governance persists.
The constitutional governance checkpoint is the procurement innovation that makes vendor transitions safe. It is Lunara's contribution to federal AI readiness.
1. Application: The agency or vendor submits a certification application with system documentation.
2. Identity Verification: Legal entity verification and domain verification through DNS TXT records.
3. Pillar Assessment: Each of the seven pillars is assessed against the relevant regulatory frameworks.
4. Public Registry Entry: Certification is published in the public Shield Registry with full audit trail.
5. Continuous Monitoring: Annual re-verification and revocation triggers for material changes.
6. Revocation: Certifications are publicly revocable when trust is broken.
