You built it with AI.
We forge it into production.
Built a working app with Claude or another AI tool? Hand us the files. We review it for security, fix the bugs, harden it to production standards, and deploy it on the secure cloud your company already owns — so what you prototyped becomes something you can actually run your business on.
A working prototype isn't a production app
AI tools are brilliant at "it works on my screen." They're not built to handle the unglamorous parts that decide whether software is safe to run a business on — and that gap is exactly where Forge lives.
- Secrets and API keys hardcoded in the files
- Little or no real authentication or access control
- No error handling — it breaks in ways you can't see
- Unreviewed security holes and risky dependencies
- "Where do I even host this safely?"
- One change away from breaking, with no one to call
- Secrets moved into proper, managed secret storage
- Real authentication and least-privilege access
- Error handling, logging, and monitoring in place
- Vulnerabilities and dependencies reviewed and fixed
- Deployed on the secure cloud you already own
- Production-ready — and supportable by one partner
From your files to production
You hand us what you built. We assess it, harden it, and deploy it — turning a raw prototype into a secure, production-grade app running on your own cloud.
The work that makes it safe to ship
Every Forge engagement runs your app through the same production checklist — the things an AI builder won't do for you.
Security vulnerabilities
We review the code for the common (and not-so-common) holes AI builders leave behind, and we fix them before anything ships.
Secrets & credentials
Hardcoded API keys and passwords get moved into proper secret storage — never sitting in plain text in your codebase.
Authentication & access
We add real authentication and least-privilege access controls, so only the right people can reach the right things.
Error handling & reliability
We add the error handling, logging, and monitoring that turn "it broke and I don't know why" into something we can see and fix.
Data protection & privacy
If the app touches sensitive or regulated data, we make sure it's stored, encrypted, and handled the way your compliance requires.
Dependencies & supply chain
Outdated and risky packages get reviewed and updated, so you're not inheriting someone else's known vulnerabilities.
Performance & scale
We check that the app holds up under real usage — not just a demo of one — and tune what it needs to run smoothly.
Deployment & configuration
We deploy it properly on the cloud tenant you already own — environments, configuration, and access set up to last.
Three steps, no surprises
You always see the scope and the number before any build work begins.
App Readiness Assessment
You hand us the files. We review the app for security, functionality, and architecture, then give you a clear findings report and an honest call: ready to harden, or better off with a partial rebuild. This is a flat, defined fee.
Harden & Deploy
We fix the bugs, close the security gaps, and harden the app to production standards — then deploy it on the secure cloud you already own. Quoted as a fixed price from the assessment, so there are no open-ended hours.
Ongoing Care (optional)
Once it's live, we can keep it patched, monitored, and supported under a monthly care plan — so it stays secure and reliable as dependencies and threats change.
Pricing is scoped from the assessment — you approve a fixed number before we touch the build. No blind quotes on AI-generated code.
Your code. Your cloud. Your IP.
Forge runs inside the Illuminate pillar — where AI meets real outcomes. If you're still building, our AI Consulting team can help; once it's ready, Forge secures it through Fortify and deploys it on the Ascend cloud you already own. You keep the code, the IP, and full control — we just make it safe to run.
You own everything
It deploys on your own tenant, with your code and IP staying yours. No lock-in to us to keep it running.
Security first, always
We won't push something unsafe into production just to ship it. If it needs a rebuild to be safe, we'll tell you.
One accountable partner
The same team that secures and deploys it can keep it running — so there's no gap between "launched" and "supported."
Forge, answered plainly
What do I need to hand you?
What if my app isn't safe to deploy as-is?
Where does the app get deployed?
Do you maintain it after launch?
