Generic GRC platforms are built for broad security management and require significant customization for healthcare and government compliance. Iron Fort ships with pre-mapped controls for HIPAA (including NIST 800-66 Rev.2 and HITRUST CSF), ITSG-33, and SOC-2 — purpose-built for the specific audit workflows, evidence requirements, and reporting formats those frameworks require.
Integrations & Infrastructure
Iron Fort integrates with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and on-premises environments including EHR systems. It also supports hybrid deployments for organizations with mixed infrastructure.
Iron Fort runs automated compliance scans against Microsoft Office 365, GitHub, and Azure DevOps in addition to all major cloud platforms. Scans check for misconfigured permissions, missing MFA enforcement, exposed secrets, and other common compliance drift patterns.
Most organizations are live and running their first automated scans within a few hours of signing up. Pre-built connectors for AWS, Azure, and GCP require only read-level API credentials — no agents to install, no firewall changes required.

Iron Fort is available through multiple Government of Canada procurement vehicles including RFSA (SaaS), SLSA (Software Licensing), TBIPS, CSPV, and ProServices programs. It is also available directly through AWS Marketplace.

Any federal department, agency, or contractor processing government information is required to achieve SA&A (Security Assessment & Authorization) compliance under ITSG-33.
Yes. Iron Fort includes pre-configured control baselines for Unclassified, Protected A, and Protected B classification levels aligned to ITSG-33 Annex 3. The platform automatically scopes the appropriate control set based on your system's data classification.
