For subcontractors

Meet your prime's CMMC flow-downs — without a compliance team.

Smaller suppliers feel CMMC first: the prime won't award the work until you can prove you're ready. Fortwise gets you there with expert guidance and a platform that does the heavy lifting, so you don't need to hire a security department.

The challenge

What makes CMMC hard for suppliers

  • A prime requiring CMMC proof on a timeline you didn't set
  • No in-house security staff — and no budget for a full compliance department
  • Dense requirements with no obvious starting point, and a contract on the line
  • Worry that one missed control costs you the renewal
