Integrates with HashiCorp Vault, Ansible Vault, Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and GCP Secret Manager.
Provision and configure HashiCorp Vault or OpenBao in minutes with guided setup and secure defaults.
Completely free. Commercial support available when you need it.
Built-in code validation and editing with compliance framework alignment.
On-premises, air-gapped, edge, cloud, or hybrid. Complete data sovereignty.
Project, Task, and User-level compliance reporting with built-in analytics.
Integrated Terramate: CLI integration, code generation, change detection UI, and orchestration phases 1–6.
PDF export for compliance reports, automatic STIG screenshot ZIPs, SCC Report Generation & Viewer, and STIG-to-task mapping for traceability.
Build and test images with Packer. QEMU support for automated VM-based testing in CI-style workflows.
Official Docker images for Forge and Forge Runners. Run anywhere: server or air‑gapped runners.
Import existing cloud resources into Terraform code with Terraformer to accelerate infrastructure as code adoption.
Link manual remediation actions and evidence to STIG findings and Forge tasks for end‑to‑end traceability and audit exports.
Designed for ATO processes: STIG/SRG baselines, evidence exports, audit trails, RBAC, and data sovereignty.
Supports common DoD baselines via SCAP/SCC, including RHEL/Rocky/Alma 8–9, Ubuntu 20.04/22.04, Windows Server 2019/2022, Windows 10/11, and more.
Generate PDF/CSV/ARF reports, STIG screenshot ZIPs, and maintain comprehensive audit logs for A&A packages.
Define, build, and version hardened images (Packer + QEMU) with a browsable image catalog and Terraform var injection.
Forge aligns with widely-used baselines through OpenSCAP and DoD SCC integrations. Coverage varies by OS/version.
RHEL 8/9 (incl. Rocky/Alma), CentOS Stream, Fedora (selected), Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 LTS.
Windows Server 2019/2022, Windows 10/11 STIGs, via SCC and OpenSCAP-compatible content.
Popular application STIGs such as Docker and Kubernetes and other common server stacks where SCAP content is available.
