bladestack.io Honored with Gold Globee® Award for Cybersecurity Industry Disruptor
McLean, VA – bladestack.io, the first and only Advisory-Only FedRAMP 3PAO, has been named the Gold Globee® Award winner for Cybersecurity Industry Disruptor in the 5th Annual 2025 Globee Awards for Disruptors. The Gold level is the highest distinction granted in each category, recognizing organizations whose bold innovation and transformative ideas are reshaping their industries.
Unlike traditional 3PAOs that both assess and advise, bladestack.io made the deliberate decision to focus solely on deep, hands-on technical advisory—fighting to perfect a craft that many considered impossible to separate from assessments. The company’s “cyber-samurai” experts embed with engineering teams, refine authorization boundaries, and translate complex FedRAMP, DoD SRG, StateRAMP, and CMMC requirements into actionable architecture – all without performing a single assessment engagement.
“We chose the harder road—standing as the only 3PAO bold enough to be Advisory-Only,” said Bhanu Jagasia, Founder and Chief Technology Samurai of bladestack.io. “This Gold Globee validates that decision and celebrates every diagram, every boundary, and every late night our team spent redefining what excellence in advisory can look like.”
Since its founding in 2021, bladestack.io has helped hundreds of cloud service providers and federal agencies accelerate secure cloud adoption while removing conflicts of interest inherent in traditional 3PAO models. By focusing on pristine technical execution and continuous innovation—rather than check-box compliance—the company has rapidly become a trusted partner for organizations seeking to modernize securely at speed.
“Disruption isn’t a buzzword for us; it’s our operating model,” added Kris Martel, Chief Security Samurai and President of bladestack.io. “We’ve proven you can deliver uncompromising technical depth, protect intellectual property, and still move faster than legacy processes allow. Our clients’ success stories—and now this Globee Gold—show the impact of that commitment.”
Administered annually, the Globee Awards for Disruptors honor companies, products, individuals, and teams driving meaningful change across emerging technologies, digital transformation, AI, sustainability, and more. Winners were selected by a panel of global judges who evaluated nominees on innovation, industry impact, and the ability to challenge the status quo.
