AI governance and security operations in Fort Wayne

We operate AI governance, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and physical security for regulated organizations in Fort Wayne and Allen County and northeast Indiana — one accountable team, and a record your auditor can use.

SOC 2 Type II
CISA-credentialed leadership
In-house SOC 24/7

Fort Wayne is Indiana’s second-largest city, home to a concentrated defense-electronics sector, a Fortune 500 steelmaker headquarters, a major automotive assembly plant, and the regional operations footprint of a national insurance and financial-services group. That mix produces a regulated IT, AI, and physical-security profile: CMMC-obligated defense electronics primes, OT/IT-converged steel and automotive manufacturing, and NAIC-regulated insurance operations on the same regional grid. Armorstack runs one operating record across Verity, Core, Sentry, and Citadel — not four vendor relationships.


Who We Serve

Who we serve in Fort Wayne

Defense & aerospace

Defense-electronics primes and northeast Indiana’s Tier-1 through Tier-3 defense supplier base operate under CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, ITAR, and DFARS 252.204-7012. Verity delivers with US-citizen-cleared teams.

Advanced manufacturing

A Fortune 500 steelmaker and a major automotive assembly plant anchor OT/IT-converged environments where ICS/SCADA security under NIST 800-82 sits next to ERP and identity controls. Core and Sentry cover both sides without a vendor handoff.

Healthcare

Regional health systems anchor the Tier-1 healthcare landscape. Our healthcare practice is built around HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, and Epic and Cerner / Oracle Health environments.

Insurance & e-commerce

A national insurance and financial-services group and a large e-commerce retailer headquartered in Fort Wayne face NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law, GLBA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 Type II. Sentry and Verity deliver examination-ready evidence.

How we work


How We Operate Locally

How we cover Fort Wayne

24/7 SOC monitoring

Sentry’s in-house SOC monitors Fort Wayne-area client environments around the clock. Eastern Time coverage spans business hours, evening overlap, and overnight handoff with no gap in shift transitions.

On-site engineer dispatch

Engineers are dispatched across Allen County and the surrounding northeast Indiana counties (DeKalb, Whitley, Huntington, Wells, Adams) for planned work and emergency response. Target on-site response is 4 hours during business hours and 8 hours overnight for clients on a service retainer. Routine on-site work is scheduled within one to two business days. We coordinate with the FBI Indianapolis Field Office’s Fort Wayne Resident Agency and the Indiana Department of Insurance when an incident reaches federal or state thresholds. Armorstack is a service-area provider in Fort Wayne — we do not claim a storefront we do not operate.

vCIO / vCISO cadence

Quarterly executive reviews can be delivered on-site in Fort Wayne. Monthly cadence is available remote. Board-ready reporting is mapped to the frameworks that actually apply — typically NIST CSF 2.0, NIST AI RMF, and CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-82, and NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law.


Where Sentry Goes Further

AI security and the Fort Wayne observability gap

Fort Wayne organizations in defense, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and insurance are adopting AI-driven tools faster than most security programs can govern them. That is the observability gap — enterprise AI adoption outpacing the visibility, governance, and monitoring required to make it safe. Sentry addresses it with shadow-AI detection, prompt-injection monitoring, excessive-agency detection, and agent kill-switch enforcement, paired with Verity’s AI risk reporting under NIST AI RMF.

Regulatory Landscape

Compliance frameworks Indiana organizations face

  • Cross-cutting federal: NIST CSF 2.0, NIST AI RMF, SOC 2 Type II, and PCI-DSS where card data applies.
  • Indiana: Indiana Code §24-4.9 requires organizations that own or license computerized personal information about Indiana residents to disclose a breach of that data in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay.
  • Defense & aerospace: CMMC 2.0 Levels 1 and 2, NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, ITAR, EAR, DFARS 252.204-7012.
  • Manufacturing: NIST 800-82 (ICS/OT), IEC 62443, NIST CSF 2.0 Manufacturing Profile, ISO 27001.
  • Healthcare: HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, HITECH, and Indiana Code Title 16.
  • Insurance & e-commerce: NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law, GLBA, SOX, PCI-DSS 4.0, and FFIEC IT Examination Handbook.

Reach us at 877-890-5508 or via /contact/.
How do I get started with Armorstack in Fort Wayne?

How does AI security observability apply to a Fort Wayne-area organization?
defense, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and insurance across Allen County and northeast Indiana are adopting AI-driven tools faster than most programs can govern them. Sentry detects shadow AI, monitors prompt-injection patterns, flags excessive-agency behavior, and can enforce agent kill-switches — paired with Verity’s AI risk reporting under NIST AI RMF. A Shadow AI Discovery typically completes within 5-10 business days.
Do you provide physical security integration in Fort Wayne?
Yes. Citadel integrates access control, video surveillance, fire alarm monitoring, and low-voltage infrastructure with cybersecurity monitoring across office, industrial, and (where relevant) clinical sites in Allen County and northeast Indiana. Site surveys are typically scheduled within 5 business days. Physical security on the same record as cyber and identity.
What does Indiana’s data-breach notification law require?
Indiana Code §24-4.9 requires organizations that own or license computerized personal information about Indiana residents to disclose a breach of that data in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay. Sentry managed detection and response is built to accelerate detection and preserve the forensic evidence a compliant notification requires inside that window.
Are you a CMMC 2.0 provider for Indiana defense manufacturers and suppliers?
Armorstack delivers CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 implementation and assessor coordination for Defense Industrial Base contractors and their supplier base. Verity includes the CMMC practice and coordinates with C3PAOs toward assessment-ready environments. This is not a claim of named local certifications. → /cmmc/ · /industries-defense-government/
Do you work with Fort Wayne hospital systems?
We do not name or imply hospital clients on this page. Our healthcare practice is built around HIPAA, HITECH, 42 CFR Part 2, and the workflows academic and community providers impose on partners and adjacent clinics. → /industries-healthcare/
