Find the evidence.
Make the call yourself.

NISTForge reads your policies and procedures on your own servers. For each of the 106 CSF 2.0 subcategories, it quotes the passage that supports it and names the document it came from. You confirm what it found, check what it could not find, and finish the assessment with every claim tied to a document.

§ 02 · The shift

Less spreadsheet. More signal.

The old way2026

Manual assessments.

  • ×Hours spent hunting through policies for the right paragraph
  • ×Evidence cited from memory instead of from the document
  • ×Policy docs shuttled over email and cloud drives
  • ×Evidence tracked in 60-tab spreadsheets
  • ×Generic questionnaires that miss nuance

§ 03 · Method

Three steps. No theatre.

i.Step 01

Point NISTForge at your documents.

Security policies, procedures, and evidence, as PDFs and Word docs. Read in place from your file share or folder. Nothing is uploaded; nothing leaves your network.

ii.Step 02

Local AI checks them against CSF 2.0.

NISTForge checks every document against all 106 subcategories using a model that runs inside your Docker container. Each match quotes the passage it relies on and names the document it came from.

iii.Step 03

Review, confirm, report.

You approve or reject every finding and check the controls it could not support. Then export a draft report as a white-label PDF.

§ 06 · FAQ

Asked & answered.

Can I buy NISTForge today?

+

Yes. Solo and Practice are self-serve, so you pick a tier, pay, and your license arrives by email. Enterprise is custom-scoped and still starts with a call.

Where does my data live?

+

On your infrastructure. NISTForge ships as a Docker container with local AI inference via Ollama. No API keys, no cloud calls, no data egress.

Do I need an AI background?

+

No. NISTForge is operated by security practitioners, not data scientists. One Docker command and you’re running.

How long does a scan take?

+

Under an hour on recommended hardware, and it runs unattended. The same scan measured 26 minutes on 8 CPU cores and 67 minutes on 2, so cores matter more than anything else you can change. NISTForge shows you an estimate before it starts. Reviewing what it found is the part that takes your time.

Does NISTForge find everything?

+

No. It quotes the evidence it can find and marks every control it could not support as not found in the documents scanned. Those controls are yours to check, and nothing counts as confirmed until you approve it.

What hardware do I need?

+

At least 4 CPU cores and 16 GB of RAM, running Docker. We recommend 8 cores and 32 GB. On Windows and macOS, Docker Desktop only takes about half your RAM by default, so a 16 GB laptop needs one config change before it will run. The install guide walks you through it.

What are the assessment limits?

+

Solo runs 10 assessments a month, Practice runs 50, Enterprise is uncapped. Your license enforces it, so the number on this page is the number you get.

What about SOC 2 and ISO 27001?

+

NISTForge covers NIST CSF 2.0. For SOC 2 and ISO 27001, our consulting team runs the readiness work with you.

Can I white-label it?

+

Yes, from the Practice tier up. Add your logo, colors, and footer to all three report formats.

§ 07 · Get started

Start this week.

NISTForge is live today. Sign up, pay, and your license arrives by email. Install is one Docker command on your own infrastructure. If you would rather be walked through it, the build team still does that.
