Where Compliance Meets Security

Compliance You Can Defend. Security You Can Operate. Outcomes You Can Measure.

Compliance is not optional for regulated organizations, and delays are expensive. Force Shield moves teams from uncertainty to audit-ready execution with practical control design, clear ownership, and leadership-level visibility.

15+ years combined experience | 50+ supported certifications | 100% veteran staffed

HIPAA Security Compliance

Protect PHI. Reduce liability. Pass security reviews.

Healthcare organizations are under constant scrutiny from clients, partners, and regulators. We operationalize HIPAA requirements into practical controls, clear evidence, and repeatable workflows your team can maintain.

Services Include:

HIPAA Security Risk Assessments
Gap Analysis and Remediation Plans
Required Policies and Procedures
Technical Safeguard Implementation Guidance
Audit Readiness Preparation
Breach Risk Reduction Strategies
Risk If Delayed

Delayed HIPAA execution increases exposure to breach response costs, client rejections, and enforcement risk.

Outcome With Force Shield

Audit-ready HIPAA evidence, lower operational risk, and stronger trust with healthcare partners.

ISO 27001 Information Security Certification

Build a certifiable ISMS without slowing the business.

ISO 27001 is won through disciplined execution, not templates. We help your team implement a practical ISMS, align controls to real operations, and prepare for certification with confidence.

Services Include:

Readiness Assessments
ISMS Framework Development
Risk Register Development
Control Implementation Guidance
Internal Audit Preparation
Certification Support
Risk If Delayed

Weak ISMS execution leads to audit surprises, longer timelines, and lost enterprise opportunities.

Outcome With Force Shield

A working, certifiable ISMS that improves governance and accelerates enterprise trust.

FedRAMP Cloud Compliance

Enter federal markets with disciplined cloud security execution.

FedRAMP programs fail when teams underestimate documentation depth and control rigor. We guide SaaS and cloud providers through readiness, control implementation planning, and evidence discipline.

Services Include:

Readiness Assessments
NIST 800-53 Control Mapping
Security Documentation Packages
System Security Plan Guidance
Continuous Monitoring Strategy
3PAO Preparation Support
Risk If Delayed

Incomplete FedRAMP preparation can stall authorization efforts and delay federal revenue.

Outcome With Force Shield

Stronger federal readiness, cleaner assessor interactions, and a faster path toward authorization.

CMMC Federal Contractor Compliance

Maintain DoD eligibility with evidence-backed controls.

CMMC is now a contract gate, not a future initiative. We help contractors close NIST 800-171 gaps, build defensible plans of action, and align teams before formal assessment pressure hits.

Services Include:

CMMC Readiness Assessments
NIST 800-171 Gap Analysis
POA&M Development
Security Control Implementation Guidance
Policy Development
Certification Preparation
Risk If Delayed

CMMC delays can block contract eligibility and expose Controlled Unclassified Information to avoidable risk.

Outcome With Force Shield

Improved contract eligibility and stronger protection for Controlled Unclassified Information.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Keep operating when incidents, outages, or disasters hit.

Resilience is not a document. It is tested execution under pressure. We design BCDR programs that prioritize critical services, assign ownership, and prove readiness through exercises.

Services Include:

Business Impact Analysis
Risk Assessments
Continuity Planning
Disaster Recovery Strategy
Incident Response Planning
Tabletop Exercises and Testing
Risk If Delayed

Untested recovery plans create prolonged downtime, lost revenue, and leadership-level reputational damage.

Outcome With Force Shield

Faster recovery decisions, reduced downtime impact, and stronger stakeholder confidence.

Founder's Note

A message from
Keith Whalen Mattox

"Most teams do not fail compliance because they ignore it. They fail because they treat it like paperwork. Force Shield exists to execute compliance the way auditors, customers, and regulators actually evaluate it."
