Summary

fort is an open-source Go binary that runs 15+ security checks on macOS devices, helps fix issues with user approval, and generates compliance reports for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits. Built by a developer frustrated with manual security configuration, it requires no agent, signup, MDM, or telemetry, and is available via Homebrew under an MIT license.

· 4 pulled
Every month, before a SOC 2 audit, I found myself asking the same question: 'Is my Mac actually configured securely?'
The answer usually meant digging through system settings, running terminal commands I could never remember, and manually collecting evidence for auditors.
fort checks your Mac against common security best practices, helps fix issues with your approval, and generates a report you can use for compliance and audit evidence.
No agent, no signup, no MDM, no telemetry. One MIT-licensed Go binary.
