If you hold contracts of consequence, you need this.

Days Left to Start Before the Backlog Makes It Impossible 0 days

Starting this year, federal contracts require every contractor to pass a cybersecurity certification called CMMC — the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. No certification, no contract — no exceptions. There aren't enough certified professionals to go around, the wait list is growing, and most companies haven't started. ForteFide does what those professionals do — checks your systems, fixes the problems, and produces the proof the assessor needs — but you can start today, not six months from now.

See exactly where you stand — then prove it.

Struggling toward CMMC and dreading the “how do I show this to a C3PAO?” question? ForteFide scans your network, fixes what it can, and produces the signed, tamper-proof evidence a C3PAO will accept — the proof is yours, no auditor required.

Per-host compliance scorecard across the fleet
1. See where you stand — same day
Scan your whole environment against 110 NIST 800-171 controls. Per-host scores, in plain sight — no weeks-long consultant assessment.
Plain-language findings list
2. Plain-language gaps
Every failed control, what it means, and how it gets fixed — no consultant needed to translate the findings.
Per-control remediation steps, commands, and impact
3. Every fix, in the open
Each control spells out the exact steps, commands, impact, and expected outcome before anything runs — then auto-remediate with one click. No black box.
Compliance score before and after remediation
4. The proof a C3PAO accepts
Your score climbs as controls flip to passing — backed by a signed, tamper-proof evidence package with the full audit trail, independently verifiable. This is what replaces the auditor.

Your whole fleet — scored, hardened, provable.

Not one machine, your entire environment. Every host evaluated against all 110 NIST 800-171 controls, before and after remediation — so nothing slips through, and you can prove it host by host.

The math is not on your side. ForteFide is.

CMMC Level 2 is a short, brutal exam with a long line in front of it. Here is what you are actually up against.

3-5 days
The on-site CMMC Level 2 assessment runs just 3 to 5 days. Most contractors need 6 to 12 months of preparation to survive it.
759 assessors
As of March 2026, only 759 people nationwide are authorized to perform your CMMC Level 2 assessment -- across just 103 accredited C3PAO organizations. The line only gets longer.
2 ports
Agentless by design. ForteFide assesses each machine over the two management ports your admins already run -- nothing to install on the host.

Agentless by design -- nothing to install

ForteFide scans over the management channel your admins already use. The only requirement on each target is the remote-management service you already run:

Windows targets
WinRM enabled (TCP 5985, or 5986 for certificate auth).
Linux targets
SSH enabled (TCP 22).

No software is installed on the scanned host. If those services are running, ForteFide can assess the machine.

This isn't a shortcut. It's the real thing.

ForteFide doesn't cut corners — it checks the same 110 requirements the government assessor checks, fixes them the right way, and produces cryptographically signed evidence that stands up under any scrutiny. Run it once before an assessment, or run it every month to stay compliant year-round. The proof is always there, always verifiable, always yours. This is a permanent solution, not a band-aid. When the assessor asks how you did it, you show them the evidence — and it speaks for itself.
