About GovConvert
Built by the guy defense contractors hire to build their boundary
GovConvert isn’t a Silicon Valley team discovering government contracting from the outside. It’s one practitioner’s answer to a problem he kept getting paid to not quite solve.
Hi, I’m Nick Sally.
I’ve spent 30+ years in IT leadership — commercial, federal, military, and healthcare — the last stretch of it doing one very specific thing: building and securing Microsoft 365 GCC High environments for small and mid-size defense contractors. I’m a CMMC Registered Practitioner with the CyberAB, and compliance boundaries are, quite literally, my day job.
Here’s what I kept seeing inside those clients, over and over. The pipeline lived in a spreadsheet that broke the day a second person touched it. The proposals started from a blank page every time, because the obvious fix — AI — was banned, correctly, the moment CUI entered the picture. And every tool that promised to help would have punched a new hole in the boundary I’d just spent months helping them close.
The tools weren’t bad. They were built for a world without assessors. I got tired of telling capable, hungry teams that the price of staying compliant was staying inefficient — so I built the thing I couldn’t responsibly recommend into existence: a capture platform that lives inside the boundary. Your tenant, your models, your SharePoint, your audit trail. Nothing to explain to an assessor, because there’s no new hole to explain.

What GovConvert stands for
Small teams deserve enterprise weapons
The primes have capture departments. You have a Tuesday morning and a spreadsheet. GovConvert exists to make 5 people bid like 50 — without the enterprise price tag or the 6-month implementation.
Compliance is a design constraint, not a checkbox
We don’t claim software makes you compliant — we build so the software never becomes your compliance problem. In your tenant, CUI never stored, audit trail on by default. The architecture is public.
No games with the price, no games with your data
$105 a seat, published on the site. One-button export, zero lock-in. We’d rather earn the renewal than engineer the trap.
Talk to the person who built it
Every demo is with me, on your data, with the architecture questions welcome. Worst case, you spend 30 minutes with someone who builds GCC High boundaries for a living and leave with free advice.
