Figure 1: Data stays within your boundary. Code is brought to the data.

Unlike the SaaS model where data is processed in Foxtrot's infrastructure, Forge Enterprise deploys the entire control plane into your Google Cloud Project. This ensures zero data egress and absolute sovereignty over your datasets. Additionally, the architecture requires no inbound ports, further reducing the attack surface.

SOC 2 & HIPAA Ready

Designed for regulated industries. Since data never leaves your VPC, your existing compliance boundary remains intact.

Private Networking

No public endpoints required. Deploy behind your internal load balancers and access via VPN or Interconnect.

Data Sovereignty

Full control over retention, encryption keys (CMEK), and access logs. Audit trails stay in your Cloud Logging.

Marketplace Verified

Vetted by Google. Includes automatic vulnerability scanning, integrated billing, and simplified procurement.
