Security and compliance.
Fully handled.
Fortress combines 24/7 managed security monitoring with a complete compliance program and monthly vCISO advisory — one engagement, one flat monthly rate, one point of contact who knows your environment inside out.
Security monitoring that generates your compliance evidence.
When security and compliance are managed separately, your security provider generates monitoring data and your compliance consultant asks for evidence. Two separate engagements. Two separate bills. Evidence that gets missed.
In Fortress, the same program that monitors your endpoints 24/7 also generates the monthly audit log reviews, access control documentation, and incident records your compliance framework requires. Security monitoring becomes compliance evidence automatically.
One program. Security active. Compliance evidence generating automatically every month.
17 managed services. One flat monthly rate.
Every service your regulated organization needs to stay secure and stay compliant — security, compliance, and strategic advisory in a single engagement at a predictable flat monthly rate.

A Chief Information Security Officer. Without the hire.
A full-time CISO costs $180,000–$250,000 per year in salary alone. Most small businesses in healthcare, legal, and financial services need the strategic security guidance a CISO provides — but not a full-time hire to deliver it.
The Fortress vCISO session every month keeps your security program aligned with your business direction, your regulatory obligations, and the current threat landscape — at a fraction of the cost of in-house leadership.
Strategic Security Roadmap
A 12-month security and compliance roadmap updated quarterly — so you always know where you are, where you are going, and what decisions are coming.
Vendor Security Review
Every new vendor that touches your sensitive data reviewed before you sign. BAA and security requirements assessed. No compliance gaps from unreviewed third parties.
Regulatory Change Monitoring
HIPAA updates, PCI DSS version changes, SOC 2 criterion changes — you are notified and your program is updated before the requirement goes into effect.
Cyber Insurance Guidance
We review your cyber insurance application and renewal questionnaire with you — ensuring accurate answers and the strongest defensible position when a claim occurs.
Shield + Comply + vCISO. Everything your regulated organization needs to stay secure, stay compliant, and make defensible decisions — at a flat monthly rate with no setup fee.
