ForteBase / The DenseDefense Suite
ForteBase is the umbrella that brings the DenseDefense products together — one platform, one evidence chain. Assess your controls, prove they hold under attack, contain new exposure as it appears, and attest to all of it with a custody trail an assessor can follow. Each product runs standalone; each also plugs into ForteFide, so what one tool observes the next can act on without re-collecting it.
What the suite does
1 · Assess
ForteFide scores your fleet against the 110 NIST 800-171 controls behind CMMC Level 2 and produces signed, tamper-evident evidence a C3PAO will accept — the foundation the rest of the suite builds on.
2 · Prove
ForteStrike is the offense: it exercises your controls under attack conditions and reports what actually held and what did not — the difference between a control marked met and a control that survives contact.
3 · Contain
ForteLock is the defense: a continuous active-protect mode that reversibly contains new exposure as it appears, so drift is held at the boundary instead of surfacing later as a finding.
4 · Locate
DenseSense finds where CUI and other regulated data actually sits — by marking, form, and pattern, reported by file and location — so the scope every control is scored against reflects the data that is really there.
5 · Inventory the AI surface
DenseAIArmour maps the AI attack surface you have taken on — the assistants, connectors, and data paths — so a fast-moving layer of your environment is inventoried rather than assumed.
6 · Enclose and attest
DDVault holds evidence in a dedicated enclave and DDWitness attests to its chain of custody, so an artifact stays traceable to its origin and provably untouched from collection to assessment.
One evidence chain, not seven islands
The value of a suite is not seven logos on one page — it is that the evidence travels. When DenseSense locates regulated data, ForteFide scopes against it; when ForteStrike proves a control failed under attack, that result lives beside the scan that scored it; when ForteLock contains an exposure, the change is recorded where the evidence package can carry it; and DDVault + DDWitness keep the whole trail sealed and attributable. Every product is usable on its own, but plugged into ForteFide they share one custody chain — so a claim you make to an assessor traces back to the tool that produced it, not to a spreadsheet that summarized it.
