Can you manage the equipment I already own?
Yes, for several services. With FWaaS we can supply the firewall hardware or manage and monitor your existing firewalls. Managed LAN can run on leased equipment or on your own equipment.

Cybersecurity Solutions
6How can I find out if my organization's data is on the dark web?
Our Digital Risk Monitoring service continuously monitors more than 20,000 public and closed sources, including hidden networks, invitation-only forums, and messaging channels. It alerts you when your organization, credentials, or data appear. You can also request a free digital risk report.
How is your threat intelligence different from a generic threat feed?
Generic feeds describe everyone's threats. FortSecure Cyber Threat Intelligence is tailored to your business, brands, and subsidiaries, and draws on closed sources you won't find with a search engine. It can be delivered through a cloud platform or a REST API that integrates with your SIEM, SOAR, and threat intelligence platform.
What's the difference between IAM and PAM?
Identity and Access Management (IAM) secures everyday access for your whole workforce, through single sign-on, adaptive MFA, directory services, and device trust. Privileged Access Management (PAM) controls the administrator, root, and service accounts that hold the keys to critical systems, routing every privileged session through a secure gateway where it is verified, approved, monitored, and recorded.
Can my team use generative AI tools without risking our data?
Yes. Our Data Loss Prevention solution detects and controls sensitive data pasted or uploaded into public generative AI tools, shows you which AI tools are in use, and coaches users on safe AI use in real time.
Do you help with ransomware detection?
Yes. File Integrity Monitoring detects early warning signs of ransomware, such as mass file changes, unexpected encryption, and new executables in system folders, so threats can be contained before they spread. Our threat hunting and incident response team supports containment, malware analysis, and digital forensics.
How are cybersecurity solutions licensed?
Options vary by solution. Digital Risk Monitoring is available as an annual subscription or a one-time risk assessment. Cyber Threat Intelligence is available as an annual subscription, on-demand queries, or tailored intelligence. IAM can be deployed in the cloud, on-premises, or as a hybrid.
Implementation and Onboarding
3Can FortSecure deliver a complete project from start to finish?
Yes. Our turnkey projects cover infrastructure design and planning, equipment procurement, system integration, testing and quality assurance, training, and handover, all managed by a single team with transparent project management.
How complex is deployment?
We handle installation, configuration, and integration with your existing infrastructure. Some services, such as SD-WAN, support zero-touch deployment for a hassle-free setup.
Do you train our internal team?
Yes. Training and handover are part of our turnkey projects, and our Resident Engineer as a Service includes training to empower your in-house teams.

Assessments and Compliance
3Do you offer security assessments?
Yes. Our Security Gap Assessment gives you an independent, evidence-based view of your security posture. It covers compliance gaps, security architecture, vulnerabilities and configurations, cloud security posture, and people, policy, and process. Every assessment ends with an executive summary, a security maturity score, and a prioritized remediation roadmap.
We also offer Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT). Our Managed SLA/AMC includes routine system audits, our passive solutions include fiber optic infrastructure audits, and we conduct site surveys for wireless networks.
How does FortSecure help with compliance?
Our Security Gap Assessment maps your controls against ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and local central bank, telecom, and securities regulator requirements, then provides an audit-readiness evidence checklist.
Our solutions also produce audit-ready evidence:
- IAM: Compliance reporting for GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and more
- DLP: Regulatory policy templates for GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and data protection laws
- FIM: Meets PCI DSS file integrity requirements and supports ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, HIPAA, and SOX controls
