What Problems Does ForgeComply Solve?​

The Spreadsheet Problem​

Compliance traditionally lives in spreadsheets — hard to maintain, easy to lose track of, and disconnected from actual evidence.

ForgeComply solution: A structured database that connects controls, policies, evidence, and reports.

The Blank Page Problem​

Writing policies from scratch is intimidating and time-consuming.

ForgeComply solution: Policy generation based on your organization's profile and control responses.

The "Where Do I Start?" Problem​

Compliance frameworks are complex. Knowing what to do first is overwhelming.

ForgeComply solution: Guided setup walks you through step-by-step.

The Evidence Chaos Problem​

Evidence scattered across email, Slack, Google Drive, and random folders.

ForgeComply solution: Centralized evidence management linked directly to controls.

The Auditor Readiness Problem​

Scrambling before audits to compile documentation.

ForgeComply solution: Generate audit-ready reports on demand.

How ForgeComply Works​

0. Take the Free Readiness Scan (Optional)​

Before signing up, take the free SOC 2 readiness scan. Answer 10 questions in 3 minutes to see where you stand across 37 controls. No signup required.

1. Create Your Assessment​

Select your framework (SOC 2 or ISO 27001) and audit type. ForgeComply loads the appropriate controls from a catalog of 63 controls across 10 security domains.

2. Evaluate Controls​

Work through each control, documenting your implementation status and assigning owners. Controls are evaluated with a dual-status model that considers both your answer and evidence completeness.

3. Generate Policies​

Create policy documents from 17 professional templates that cover all control domains. Policies are automatically linked to relevant controls.

4. Upload Evidence​

Attach supporting documentation to demonstrate your controls are operating.

5. Generate Reports​

Produce audit-ready reports with integrity hashing, evidence coverage scoring, and blocker identification.

6. Share with Auditors​

Grant read-only access to auditors for their review.

Key Features​

Free SOC 2 Readiness Scan​

A public, no-signup assessment that evaluates readiness across 10 security domains. Results include a readiness score, audit blocker identification, gap analysis, and timeline estimate. Results are shareable via URL.

Guided Setup​

Optional step-by-step workflow that walks you through the entire assessment process.

Control Catalog​

63 security controls across 10 domains: Governance, Access Control, Logging & Monitoring, Change Management, Incident Response, Vendor Management, Data Protection, Security Awareness, Business Continuity, and Vulnerability Management. 35 controls are shared between SOC 2 and ISO 27001, with 6 SOC 2-specific and 22 ISO 27001-specific controls.

Dual-Status Evaluation​

Controls are evaluated with both a design status (based on your answer, owner, and policy) and an evidence status (based on evidence completeness). This gives a clear picture of what's documented versus what's proven.

Policy Generation​

17 professional policy templates covering all security domains. Policies use organization context (company name, security officer, review frequency) and are linked to specific controls.

Evidence Management​

Centralized storage with review workflows and auditor-safe access. Evidence coverage is scored against configurable thresholds.

Audit Reports​

Immutable, point-in-time reports with SHA-256 integrity hashing (including policy version), evidence coverage scoring, and audit blocker identification.

Blog​

Practical compliance content covering SOC 2 checklists, framework comparisons, and audit preparation guides.

Role-Based Access​

Separate roles for admins, team members, and auditors with appropriate permissions.

AI Assistance (Optional)​

Contextual guidance to help you understand controls and identify gaps.

What ForgeComply Is NOT​

Understanding limitations is as important as understanding capabilities.

ForgeComply is not an auditor​

We help you prepare for audits. We do not conduct audits or issue certifications. You still need an accredited auditor.

ForgeComply does not guarantee audit success​

Passing an audit depends on your actual security implementation, not just documentation. ForgeComply helps you document and organize — the substance must be real.

ForgeComply is not a security tool​

We don't scan your systems, monitor your infrastructure, or detect threats. We help you document your security controls.

ForgeComply does not replace judgment​

Compliance requires human decision-making. ForgeComply provides structure and guidance, but you decide what's appropriate for your organization.

Compliance frameworks have legal implications. Consult qualified professionals for legal questions.
