What We Build
Internal tools, RAG systems, and lightweight security tooling.
Discovery and mapping systems, compliance evidence workflows, deployable gap-fill tooling, and documentation pipelines built to work inside existing environments.
137Forge
Engineering systems for security, compliance, and AI in regulated environments.
137Forge builds working systems, deployable tooling, and focused consulting engagements for teams operating under real security and compliance constraints.
Philosophy
Keep it simple. Keep it secure. Build only where needed.
No repaving environments. No vendor lock-in. Integrate with what already exists and add engineered leverage where it actually moves the system forward.
Consulting
Focused engagements for architecture, assessment, and enablement.
137Forge still provides consulting, but it is delivered by builders and operators. Recommendations are meant to end in working systems, not slide decks.
Capabilities
Security Architecture Engineering
Architecture reviews, trust boundary design, identity patterns, segmentation strategy, and real controls for regulated systems.
Compliance System Design
ATO-ready system structure, RMF alignment, NIST 800-53 control mapping, STIG and CIS implementation support, and evidence flow design.
AI-Assisted Analysis and Documentation
Discovery, mapping, RAG-backed documentation systems, and practical AI workflows for evidence, inventory, and technical understanding.
Data Ingestion and Normalization Pipelines
Pipelines that collect, normalize, and reshape infrastructure, security, and compliance data into something teams can actually use.
How We Work
Assess. Map. Build. Enable.
The goal is minimal disruption and maximum leverage. We learn the environment, identify the real constraints, build what is missing, and leave behind systems your team can operate.
Assess
Evaluate architecture, controls, and operational constraints.
Map
Build system understanding, evidence paths, and control relationships.
Build
Deliver the tooling, automation, and implementation gaps that matter.
Enable
Leave behind an environment your team can run and extend.
