Module 03 — Defense AI Compliance

AI Governance
Without
Ambiguity.

On-premises defense AI compliance covering DoD AI Ethical Principles, NIST AI RMF, CMMC 2.0, and NSA guidance. FIPS 140-2 cryptography. Built for defense contractors who cannot afford gaps in their AI governance posture.

Capabilities

Every defense AI governance requirement. One platform.

FORGE is not a checklist tool. It produces documented, auditable proof of compliance with the specific frameworks DoD program offices and contracting officers are asking for.

🏛️
DoD AI Ethical Principles

Document compliance with all five DoD AI Ethical Principles — responsible, equitable, traceable, reliable, and governable. Produce signed artifacts suitable for program office review.

📐
NIST AI RMF Alignment

Full GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE, and MANAGE function documentation. FORGE structures your AI risk management practices against the RMF and generates the evidence package your contracting officer needs.

🔐
CMMC 2.0 Support

AI system documentation aligned to CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements. Track AI-related controlled unclassified information handling and system boundary documentation.

🛡️
FIPS 140-2 Cryptography

All FORGE cryptographic operations use FIPS 140-2 validated modules. Document signatures, audit trail hashes, and compliance artifacts meet federal cryptographic standards.

🏭
On-Premises Deployment

FORGE runs entirely within your network boundary. No data leaves your environment. Air-gapped deployment available for programs with network isolation requirements.

📁
Contract Deliverable Package

Generate structured documentation packages formatted for delivery as contract data requirements. FORGE produces the evidence that program offices accept, not internal reports you have to reformat.

Framework Coverage

The defense AI frameworks, fully mapped.

FORGE maps your AI systems directly to the governance requirements of each framework — not generically, but at the control and principle level.

DoD
DoD AI Ethical Principles

Five principles adopted by the DoD in 2020 as the ethical foundation for all DoD AI development and deployment.

Responsible — human accountability documentation
Equitable — bias assessment and fairness reporting
Traceable — decision lineage and explainability records
Reliable — performance and safety boundary documentation
Governable — human override and shutdown capability records
NIST
NIST AI Risk Management Framework

The four-function framework (GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE, MANAGE) that DoD and federal agencies are adopting as the operational standard for AI risk management.

GOVERN — organizational policies and accountability
MAP — AI system context and risk identification
MEASURE — risk analysis and impact assessment
MANAGE — risk response and residual tracking
CMMC
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification

AI system documentation requirements for defense contractors subject to CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2 certification.

System boundary documentation for AI components
CUI handling requirements in AI training data
Access control documentation for AI systems
Incident response procedures for AI failures
NSA
NSA AI Security Guidance

National Security Agency guidance on securing AI systems deployed in sensitive and classified environments.

Adversarial ML threat documentation
Model supply chain security verification
Inference security boundary controls
Data poisoning risk assessment records
Deployment Options

Your network. Your data. Your control.

FORGE is designed for environments where data cannot leave the boundary. Every deployment option keeps your AI governance data fully within your control.

🏢
On-Premises

Deploy FORGE entirely within your data center. No external API calls. No telemetry. Full network isolation. Standard deployment for prime contractors with existing infrastructure.

✈️
Air-Gapped

Complete air-gap deployment for programs requiring network isolation. Evidion provides fully offline deployment packages with no internet dependencies at runtime.

☁️
GovCloud

FedRAMP-aligned cloud deployment on AWS GovCloud or Azure Government for programs that need cloud scalability without leaving the federal boundary.

Who FORGE Is For

Built for the teams that cannot miss a compliance requirement.

DoD Prime Contractors

Organizations delivering AI-enabled systems to DoD program offices that require NIST AI RMF and DoD AI Ethical Principles documentation as contract deliverables.

Defense Subcontractors

Tier 2 and Tier 3 subcontractors flowing down AI governance requirements from prime contracts. FORGE helps subcontractors meet prime-imposed AI documentation requirements.

Defense Intelligence Community

IC contractors and operators deploying AI in sensitive compartmented environments where standard cloud governance tools are prohibited and on-premises is the only option.

SBIR/STTR Recipients

Small businesses and research organizations developing AI for DoD under SBIR and STTR programs who need to demonstrate responsible AI practices for Phase II and Phase III awards.
