What ForceNow does

ForceNow, LLC is a US-based private cybersecurity company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Monument, Colorado, with operational presence across the Colorado front range. The company provides three integrated service pillars to mid-market and enterprise customers: Managed Detection and Response (MDR) via a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) powered by the proprietary TSSRACT Security Agent and the ForceNow Security Dashboard with Microsoft 365 integration; ForceAI, a security-first AI transformation practice covering AI readiness assessments, ROI modeling, and implementation using AWS Bedrock and n8n open-source tooling; and Web3 smart contract auditing combining AI-assisted vulnerability scanning with manual expert review. Co-founders Rear Admiral Hank Bond (US Navy, 32 years active duty in nuclear submarine command and cyberspace operations) and Jonathan Steenland (former global CISO at Fujitsu with responsibility for 500 companies and 170,000 employees across 100 countries) anchor the company's positioning around military-grade expertise and human-led SOC oversight.

The underlying platform architecture combines the TSSRACT endpoint agent (deployed on Windows and Mac for behavioral analysis and continuous monitoring) with the ForceNow Security Dashboard, which delivers real-time A-F security scoring, incident tracking by severity, license usage monitoring, two-factor authentication management, and prioritized recommendations that sync every 30 minutes. AI is applied across three modalities: text processing of security logs and audit reports, structured security metrics, and code analysis of Solidity smart contracts, with all findings verified by certified security professionals before delivery. Compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS) are embedded in the ForceAI security-first architecture. Named customers include RapidFlight (aerospace/defense, endpoint security).

ForceNow monetizes through a hybrid model: recurring subscription revenue from four MDR tiers (Force Essential at $19.99/month, Force Advanced at $29.99/month, Force Complete at $39.99/month, and Force Elite at custom pricing including vCISO, DRaaS, and compliance packages); one-time project fees for Web3 smart contract audits across four tiers (Free AI Scan, Starter $500+, Professional $2,000+, Enterprise $5,000+); and professional services revenue from AI transformation engagements (ForceAI Audit delivered in 2-8 weeks) and strategic security consulting. Distribution combines a self-serve Shopify-powered ecommerce storefront for low-tier MDR subscriptions with direct sales engagement for enterprise and custom engagements. Go-to-market relies on content marketing (blog addressing AI security, cybersecurity, and Web3 topics), free 30-minute AI and security consultations, and direct outreach through web forms and phone. The company operates remotely with no disclosed headcount and has raised $265,000 in a single funding round dated September 23, 2021, with no institutional investors disclosed.
