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

OT segmented · scope minimized
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.
