Frequently Asked Questions
Is Forge GPT replacing Lean Sigma expertise? No. Forge GPT is designed to enhance the capabilities of improvement professionals by providing AI-powered assistance while maintaining proven methodologies.
Do I need AI experience to use Forge GPT? No. Forge GPT is designed to guide users through improvement activities and provide support when needed throughout the process.
What industries can use Forge GPT? Forge GPT can support organizations across industries where process improvement, operational excellence, and data-driven decision-making are priorities.
Can I use Forge GPT with my existing improvement projects? Yes. Forge GPT is designed to support active Lean Sigma and process improvement initiatives.
Is my data secure on the Forge GPT platform? Yes. Forge GPT is built with enterprise-grade security from the ground up. Here’s what protects your data:
- Data isolation – Forge GPT is a multi-tenant platform, meaning your organization’s data is strictly separated from all other customers. Every record — projects, analyses, uploaded files, and reports — is scoped to your tenant and is never accessible to other organizations.
- Encryption – Data is encrypted in transit using TLS and protected at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption. Sensitive fields are never stored in plain text.
- Access control – The platform enforces a 10-tier role-based access control (RBAC) system. Users only see and interact with the data their role permits, and tenant administrators cannot access or modify data belonging to other organizations.
- Authentication options – Forge GPT supports username/password login as well as enterprise SSO via Google, Microsoft, SAML 2.0, and custom OIDC providers, including DoD-compliant configurations.
- Audit logging – All significant actions are logged in a tamper-evident audit trail, supporting your compliance and internal review requirements.
- Compliance readiness – The Forge GPT platform is designed with SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance in mind, including configurable per-tenant data retention policies and tools to support subject access requests.
- Uploaded files – Documents and datasets you upload are stored in access-controlled object storage. Private files are never publicly accessible — they require an authenticated, authorized request to retrieve.
Forge GPT does not use your data to train AI models. Your project data stays yours.
