CMMC Compliance Is a
SKILL. FORCE Teaches You.
Most compliance tools assume you already know what “sanitize media before disposal” means. FORCE walks you through every control: why it matters, how to implement it, and what evidence to capture. GovCloud-native. CMMC-first. Multi-framework from day one.

Compliance Is a FIRE DRILL.
Every Quarter. Every Year.
Every Assessment.
Phase 1 CMMC enforcement started October 2025. Phase 2 begins November 2026. Primes flow the requirement down. Your assessment calendar is not optional. And before you can even start, you have to learn what 110 NIST controls actually mean.
Every Capability Built to TEACH
and Then Prove It.
FORCE does not adapt general-purpose GRC features for DIB compliance. These capabilities were designed from the ground up for CMMC, flow-down, and continuous compliance — and to walk a non-expert team through every step.
Plain-Language Control Explainer
Every control in every framework has a “why this matters” explanation in plain English. PE.L1-3.10.3 is not “Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity” — it is a paragraph that explains why the control exists, who it protects, and what counts as “monitoring.” Your team reads it once and knows what to do.
Step-by-Step Implementation Coach
Best-practice posture and an ordered list of implementation steps for every control. “Designate a visitor reception area.” “Maintain a physical visitor log binder.” “Train all employees authorized to escort.” Your team works the steps in order. No interpretation of NIST text required.
Evidence Specification Templates
For every control, FORCE specifies exactly what evidence to capture: the artifact type (photo, PDF, CSV, screenshot), what it should show, how long it should cover, and what good looks like. No guesswork.
Multi-Source Evidence Collection
Four read-only collection models in parallel — AWS (Commercial + GovCloud), Microsoft 365 / Entra (Commercial today; GCC High + DoD in development), Google Workspace & Cloud, and on-prem network via the FORCE Edge agent (Ubiquiti / UniFi). Continuous config snapshots feeding evidence records with provenance, hash, and control mapping.
Multi-Framework Control Engine
One evidence collection satisfies N controls across M frameworks. NIST 800-171 R3, CMMC L1/L2, NIST 800-53, FAR 52.204-21, ISO 27001, SOC 2 — authoritative mappings seeded from NIST and the Cyber AB.
AI-Generated SSP Narratives
Bedrock drafts the implementation narrative for each control from your actual evidence, policies, and tenant facts. Every claim traceable to an evidence ID a C3PAO can verify.
CAP-Structured Assessment Workflow
Phase 1 → 2 → 3 lifecycle. CoAS determination, 180-day closeout countdown with T-90/60/30/14/7 escalations, scope-boundary editor.
C3PAO Collaboration Portal
Scoped assessor access with MFA-enforced sessions. Structured question threads replace email. Preliminary findings visible to the tenant during assessment.
Prime-Tenancy Flow-Down
Primes see sub posture at four consent levels: Minimum / Standard / Full / Directed. Multi-prime isolation — what Lockheed sees is independent of what Raytheon sees.
Senior Official Affirmation Ceremony
Guided flow culminating in the senior-official electronic signature ceremony. SPRS submission package generation. Annual reaffirmation tracking.
72-Hour DIBNet Incident Reporting
Incident triage with automatic 72-hour deadline. T-48/24/6/0 escalations. Bedrock-drafted DFARS 7012-compliant report. Evidence package assembly. Senior-official affirmation.
180-Day POA&M Closeout Engine
Every Plan of Action item tracked with owner, target date, milestones. Senior-official alert at T-30 days. Closeout evidence required to flip status.
Tamper-Evident Attestation Ledger
Every evidence write + assessor action batched and hashed. S3 Object Lock compliance mode, 7-year retention. Cryptographically demonstrable to auditors.
Meta-Framework Expansion
Add a framework with a JSON spec; mappings flow into the existing collected evidence. ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 TSC, CIS v8 already shipped. Your next assessment standard is one config away.
Four Ways FORCE Sees Your Environment.
One evidence pipeline, four collection models — cloud, identity, and on-prem network. AWS, Microsoft 365, and on-prem UniFi are live today; Google Workspace and Microsoft GovCloud (GCC High / DoD) are in active development. Every model is read-only, provenance-stamped, and mapped to controls across every framework you carry.
Amazon Web Services
A read-only IAM role into your account. FORCE sweeps IAM, S3, networking, logging, and KMS configuration into hash-stamped evidence records with control mappings. Partition-aware — Commercial and AWS GovCloud (FIPS endpoints) from the same engine.
Microsoft 365 & Entra / Azure
A minimum-scope app registration in your tenant. FORCE reads Conditional Access, MFA enforcement, identity and device posture, and Azure configuration. Microsoft 365 Commercial today; GCC High and DoD (sovereign graph.microsoft.us / dod-graph endpoints) in active development.
Google Workspace & Google Cloud
Read-only access to Google Workspace admin and Google Cloud configuration — identity, MFA, sharing controls, IAM, and audit logging — normalized into the same evidence + control-mapping pipeline as the other clouds.
On-Prem Network — FORCE Edge (Ubiquiti / UniFi)
A read-only agent on your network reads your UniFi controller and turns the live config into compliance evidence: firewall deny rules, VLAN segmentation, WLAN encryption, IDS/IPS, firmware currency, device inventory, and RADIUS / 802.1X. Each record is Ed25519-signed and pushed outbound-only to FORCE GovCloud, where value-level checks produce per-control findings (met / gap) and auto-POA&Ms across NIST 800-171 R3 and 800-53 R5. macOS app today; Windows, headless, and Jetson to follow.
A Compliance Expert at EVERY DESK.
You Decide. FORCE Drafts.
Ask FORCE answers your team's compliance questions, drafts your SSP narratives, and proposes assessment findings — all grounded in your evidence. Every state-changing action waits for your click. The AI shows; you decide.
Your AC.L2-3.1.5 (Least Privilege) is currently MET with 12 evidence items collected:
- · M365 directory roles export (4/26/2026) — 19 active admin roles mapped
- · Conditional Access policies snapshot (4/25/2026)
- · PIM activation log (last 30 days)
Your starter narrative is 3 sentences and references all 12 items. Want me to draft a longer narrative for your assessor, or summarize just the changes since last assessment?
Drafting now. Based on your evidence library, here's a starting narrative for PE.L1-3.10.3 (Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity):
“We maintain a dedicated visitor reception area where all non-employees must sign in using our physical visitor log, which captures name, company, escort, date/time in/out, and areas visited. As shown in the visitor log excerpt from Q1-Q2 2025, every visitor entry includes an assigned employee escort name, demonstrating that no unescorted access occurred…”
[Full draft is 217 words \u2014 opens in editor]
I've cited 4 evidence items. Review and edit the draft before attaching to the finding.
Hold on — this is a state-changing action. I need your confirmation before marking the control satisfied.
Confirm action
Action: Mark AC.L2-3.5.3 as MET
Evidence: E-4412 (Privileged Access Review, 4/24/2026, signed by J. Reeves)
Effect: Updates assessment finding; enters attestation ledger.
I've already verified the evidence file matches; you just need to sign off.
Every action that changes your compliance posture — marking controls satisfied, signing affirmations, submitting to SPRS or DIBNet — requires a click from you. Not because the AI doesn't know what to do; because you should be the one who decides. The full audit trail flows to your tamper-evident attestation ledger.
Every answer cites specific evidence items, control IDs, and policy documents from your tenant. No invented IDs. No hallucinated policy names.
Cross-tenant access is prevented by AWS IAM conditions, not just application code. Belt-and-suspenders enforcement.
Every tool invocation, draft, and confirmation flows to your tamper-evident attestation ledger with 7-year retention. Pre-approved for CMMC L2 audit.
Lower cost. Broader scope.

This Is What Compliance Looks Like
When the Platform TEACHES You.
Real screens from FORCE running in production — a live Microsoft 365 connection, auto-collected evidence, and a CMMC L2 self-assessment in progress. No marketing renders. No cropped fragments. The actual product. Click any image to enlarge.
Your posture, the moment you sign in.
A live connection, 23 evidence rows collected, three assessments on file. The dashboard resumes your assessment where you left off and computes a FORCE Rating — a 1–100 score of whether your attestations are actually consistent with the evidence behind them.
Guided onboarding, step by step.
Connecting AWS is a six-step wizard: identify the account, provision a read-only role, paste the ARN, verify. Commercial and GovCloud partitions both supported. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace connect the same way — and evidence collection starts the same day.
Why this matters, in plain English.
Every control carries a “why this matters” paragraph, a best-practice posture checklist, and numbered implementation steps for Microsoft 365, AWS, and Google Workspace. “Limit system access” is not just NIST text — it’s a to-do list your team can execute.
Control-by-control, with the evidence attached.
The CMMC L2 assessment walks all 110 practices. Every control shows its collected evidence count and status — expand a row to review the findings, confirm or override the auto-attestation, and sign. Filter by family, evidence, or result.
Auto-collected evidence, with provenance.
Cross-tenant introspection captures configuration snapshots continuously — conditional access, privileged role assignments, OAuth grants, verified domains, security defaults — each stamped with source, collection time, and the controls it maps to.
Every artifact, fully cited.
Drill into any evidence row: the raw collected payload, the collector that captured it, the OSCAL type, and the exact controls it satisfies across NIST 800-171 and CMMC L2. A chain of evidence — not screenshots in a folder.
Deterministic pass/fail over your evidence.
Automated tests evaluate the collected evidence per control — pass, fail, or needs review. Run them all on demand or on the collection schedule. Every failure opens a remediation card automatically.
Failures become work, not findings.
Every failed test lands as a card with its control, severity, and due date. Drag across To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Blocked — with approval rules and printable reports built in.
Roll up your subs. Cross-tenant introspection.
Prime contractors see every sub’s posture in one view: CMMC score, attestation type, formal POA&M flag, open POA&M count, critical findings, risk band. The sub’s tenant keeps their data — you see what they’ve granted you. No quarterly status calls. No portal forwarding.
180-day closeout, tracked.
Open items roll up with severity, the owning control, and target close dates aligned to the CMMC 180-day POA&M window. The open items here came straight from failed automated tests — no hand-built spreadsheet.
Authoritative Catalogs.
NOT Placeholders.
Every framework is loaded from the authoritative source — NIST OSCAL, Cyber AB publications, FAR CFR text. When NIST ships a revision, FORCE updates within days, not quarters. Cross-framework mappings are seeded from NIST Appendix D + Cyber AB alignment, human-verified at edges.
NIST SP 800-171 R3
The foundational CUI protection requirements. Full OSCAL catalog loaded with assessment objectives.
CMMC Level 2
CUI-handling requirement for defense contractors. 1:1 with NIST SP 800-171. Self-assessed (88/110 SPRS floor) under the Jul 2026 Phase II suspension; C3PAO track paused pending reform review.
CMMC Level 1
FCI-only basic safeguarding. Self-attestation with senior-official affirmation. Annual reaffirmation.
FAR 52.204-21
Basic safeguarding for federal contractors handling FCI. The floor for any DoW contract.
800-53 R5 Moderate
The FedRAMP Moderate baseline. Required for FISMA Moderate systems.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
International ISMS standard with Annex A controls across four themes. Required by many commercial prime contractors.
SOC 2 TSC
Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, Privacy. Commercial compliance artifact.
CIS Controls v8
Implementation-guidance benchmarks. Maps cleanly to NIST 800-171 and 800-53.
Built Where You're Allowed To Run.
GOVCLOUD. FIPS. Tenant-Isolated.
FORCE is operationally boring in the best sense: no clever shortcuts on where your data lives, how it's encrypted, who can read it, or what our AI can see. Every security decision is the paranoid one.
GovCloud-native
Operating in us-gov-west-1. FIPS 140-3 endpoints on every service.
Cryptographic tenant isolation
Per-tenant KMS keys for CUI-handling L2 tenants. A compromised FORCE principal cannot decrypt your data without your key.
Five-layer defense in depth
Crypto → Storage partition → Compute (JWT tenant claim) → AI (tenant-scoped Bedrock) → Credentials (Secrets Manager per-tenant prefix).
Automated isolation enforcement
Tenant-isolation test pack runs as a blocking CI step. Any code change that allows a cross-tenant read fails the build.
Read-only by design
FORCE never writes to your AWS or Microsoft environment. Read-only roles, minimum-scope Graph permissions, no standing credentials.
Attestation ledger
Every evidence write and assessor action batched and Merkle-hashed. S3 Object Lock compliance mode, 7-year retention.
Prompt audit
Every Bedrock invocation logged with tenant id, user id, prompt template version, input/output hash. Non-bypassable.
FORCE is our first customer
We used FORCE to manage FORGE's own compliance posture through DIBCAC prep. What ships is what we audit ourselves against.

We Used FORCE to Get FORGE READY.
Here Is the Measured Result.
Tenant Zero of FORCE is BigForgeOne itself. We onboarded, subscribed to NIST 800-171 R3 + CMMC L2 + FAR 52.204-21, ran initial evaluation, closed gaps identified by FORCE, generated the SSP with Bedrock, and are now preparing for the DIBCAC assessment — entirely inside the product.
We will publish the DIBCAC result regardless of what it shows. If FORCE got us through, you'll see the specifics. If we missed something, you'll see that too — along with how we closed the gap in the platform itself.
