New platform helps organizations modernize third-party due diligence with faster, more comprehensive risk insight across supply chains, partners, and vendors.
ARLINGTON, Va. — June 24, 2026— Core4ce today announced the launch of HyveWorks, an enterprise supply chain risk intelligence platform developed by The Forge, Core4ce’s innovation incubator. Designed to help organizations evaluate suppliers, vendors, partners, and acquisition targets with greater speed and clarity, HyveWorks brings together multi-source intelligence, AI-enabled analysis, and executive-ready reporting to support more informed third-party risk decisions.
The launch comes at a time of growing concern across the defense industrial base and broader federal ecosystem about the risks created by third-party relationships. As supply chains become more interconnected and adversaries increasingly exploit trusted external relationships, organizations face mounting pressure to assess risk beyond their own networks and systems.
HyveWorks was built to help close this gap. The enterprise platform enables organizations to move beyond fragmented, manual due diligence processes by collecting and synthesizing relevant risk intelligence across financial, legal, cyber, reputational, and operational domains into a more structured assessment workflow.
“Third-party risk rarely appears in one obvious place,” said Todd Harbour, Managing Partner and Chief Technology Officer at Core4ce. “It emerges over time across supplier relationships, ownership structures, access patterns, financial signals, and external behavior. HyveWorks was developed to help organizations see those risk signals more clearly and evaluate them faster, so leaders can make better decisions before vulnerabilities become mission problems.”
Developed by Core4ce’s internal R&D team, The Forge, HyveWorks reflects the company’s focus on applying advanced technology to emerging national security challenges. The Forge supplies state-of-the-art products and services that empower the warfighter. From AI/ML-enabled material design to data transformation and analysis, The Forge brings together innovative talent to protect national interests and drive competitive advantage.
“HyveWorks is a direct example of how The Forge turns innovation into operational capability,” Harbour said. “We built this platform to address a real need: helping organizations assess third-party exposure with greater speed, consistency, and confidence in environments where the stakes are high and the margin for error is small.”
HyveWorks helps organizations:
- Accelerate third-party due diligence and supplier risk review
- Improve visibility into financial, legal, cyber, reputational, and supply chain risk
- Reduce manual research across disconnected information sources
- Generate clear, decision-ready reports for leadership and stakeholders
- Support stronger resilience across vendor, partner, and contractor ecosystems
The platform is designed for use cases including supplier and vendor risk assessment, strategic partner evaluation, supply chain resilience planning, contractor screening, and broader third-party risk management. Core4ce developed HyveWorks to support customers operating in complex, high-consequence environments where trusted relationships, access, and operational dependencies must be evaluated with rigor.
