The Department of War Inherits Its Suppliers’ Risk

Cut vendor assessment from 40 hours to two, fix what the assessment finds, and hand your authorizing official documented risk reduction.

Fortress platform vendor risk matrix: count of vendors by AIM likelihood and AIM impact score

Most of Your Suppliers Have Never Been Assessed

One weapon system carries millions of components, sourced through tiers of suppliers no program office ever put on contract.

Assessment ran at human speed, so most of that population went unassessed. Not by choice. By budget.

Fortress Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management for the Department of War

Fortress provides cyber supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) for the Department of War. AI agents assess the vendors, hardware, and software behind fielded systems, and a Fortress analyst reviews anything critical before it reaches a program office.

We Don’t Just Sell a Login.
We Build the Program With You.

Our federal team includes former military officers and DoW civilians who ran cyber programs at the command level. We’ve stood up C-SCRM programs for major commands.

Enable

Field faster. Authorization moves when the evidence is already gathered and verified, so your program isn’t waiting on a paperwork cycle.

Sustain

Threats don’t stop at authorization. Monitoring runs continuously, so a supplier that changes hands in March isn’t found at next year’s review.

Validate

We take a supplier’s product apart at the component level and check every piece against known vulnerabilities before it’s fielded.

Mission-Aligned Risk Management

The full capability set, delivered on one platform.

  • Third-Party Risk Management

    Vendor populations monitored against DoW third-party risk frameworks, with foreign ownership, control, and influence surfaced before procurement.

    Learn More
  • Software Supply Chain Defense

    Hardware and software bills of materials analyzed for vulnerabilities, foreign influence, and prohibited components before anything enters your environment.

    Learn More
  • Supply Chain Visibility

    One view across vendors, products, and assets, including the nth-tier suppliers no program office ever put on contract.

    Learn More
  • Continuous Monitoring & Configuration Management

    New risks surfaced continuously for every vendor, product, and asset, rather than at the next scheduled review.

    Learn More
  • Risk Visualization

    Exposure mapped across your systems in a dashboard your team can brief from, with remediation ranked by what matters most.

  • Hardware Teardown and Analysis

    Full hardware teardowns paired with open-source intelligence, deconstructing firmware and software to find what no document review would surface.

  • Mission-Based Risk Scoring

    Every vendor, product, and asset scored against mission criticality, so priority reflects operational impact rather than raw severity.

  • Lifecycle & Sustainment

    Risk monitored across design, procurement, and maintenance, so a system stays assessed for as long as it stays fielded.

Fortress Operates at IL5 and IL6, Where Very Few Platforms Can

That authorization covers classified environments. Fortress holds a top-secret facility clearance, and 75% of our government team carries an active one. The people on your program are already read in.

Meet the Mandate.
Field Faster.

Fortress maps to the frameworks that govern your program and keeps the evidence current, so authorization stops holding up the mission.

FAQ

Departmentof War FAQs.

Fortress provides cyber supply chain risk management for Department of War programs. AI agents continuously assess the vendors, hardware, and software behind fielded systems, and analysts validate every critical finding. The platform identifies vulnerabilities, foreign influence, and compliance gaps, then works remediation with the teams who can close them.

Yes. Department of War is the secondary designation authorized for the U.S. Department of Defense. The statutory name remains Department of Defense until Congress changes it. Fortress serves the department under both names, and its contract vehicles are written against the statutory designation.

Yes. Fortress holds Authority to Operate at Impact Level 5 and Impact Level 6, including classified environments, and maintains a top-secret facility clearance. 75% of the Fortress government team holds active security clearances, with personnel cleared up to TS/SCI supporting defense and national security programs.

Fortress is available through a sole-source Navy IDIQ, contract N0042125D0086, with a five-year ordering period open to the Navy, DoW, and affiliated agencies via MIPR or IPAC. Fortress also holds one of four unrestricted seats on the GSA SCRIPTS BPA, plus a GSA MAS Schedule and OTA pathways.

Fortress maps to DoDI 5000.90, NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, SP 800-161, and SP 800-171, Executive Order 14028 with OMB Memoranda M-22-18 and M-23-16, CMMC, CYBERSAFE, and NDAA 2019 Section 889. Fortress contributed directly to Executive Order 14028 and leads working groups shaping federal C-SCRM standards.

No. Fortress never uses client data to train AI models, never shares data across tenants, and never exposes it outside the platform. All data is processed in isolated, accredited environments authorized at Impact Level 5 and 6. For defense programs, that is a baseline security requirement.
