For manufacturers

CMMC for the shop floor, not just the server room.

Manufacturers handle CUI in places software vendors forget — engineering files, machine controllers, and the production floor. Fortwise scopes it all and gets you assessment-ready without halting production.

The challenge

What makes CMMC hard for manufacturers

  • CUI spread across CAD/CAM files, MES, and shop-floor systems that never fit a standard IT boundary
  • Operational technology and legacy machines that can't simply be patched like office laptops
  • Engineering and production teams who can't pause work for a year-long compliance project
  • Primes demanding flow-down proof before they'll release the next purchase order

With Fortwise

The line keeps running while you get compliant.

Fortwise scopes CMMC around how your plant actually works — engineering, OT, and the production floor included — so remediation fits between shifts, not instead of them.
