FIRCE - The Compliance Engine That Never Leaves Your Browser

When a cyber incident hits, you don't have time to figure out what the government needs from you. You have 72 hours to report it correctly, and getting it wrong carries real consequences: False Claims Act exposure, contract termination, even debarment.

FIRCE, the Total Federal Incident Response & Compliance Engine, exists so you're never scrambling in that window. It's a local-first, offline-capable workspace purpose-built for DFARS 252.204-7012 incident reporting, CMMC 2.0 compliance, and the surrounding obligations that come with holding a federal contract.

The financial reality of a security incident has never been higher, or more precisely enforced. The average data breach now costs US organizations $10.22 million, an all-time high, and the average breach lifecycle runs 241 days, 181 to detect and 60 to contain. For defense contractors specifically, the exposure runs even deeper than the breach itself. FY2025 False Claims Act settlements and judgments exceeded $6.8 billion, with the DOJ recovering more than $52 million across nine cybersecurity-related settlements alone, and 2025 saw at least seven separate cybersecurity-related FCA cases resolved, ranging from a $1.75 million DFARS settlement to an $8.4 million defense contractor settlement, with penalties reaching that scale even when self-disclosed and cooperative. And a July 2025 case established that an acquiring company can inherit FCA liability for a target's pre-acquisition cybersecurity failures, meaning noncompliance doesn't just cost you, it can cost whoever buys you next. For a small or mid-size subcontractor, a single misstep isn't a line item, it's existential. 

Whether you're a small subcontractor keeping your own house in order or a prime managing compliance across dozens of sites, FIRCE gives you a structured, defensible, and completely private way to meet your federal obligations, before the clock is the thing running out.
