Most SMEs know they need better cyber security. Few know where to start — and fewer can afford a consultant to tell them. Fortify guides you through Cyber Essentials, CE+, and ISO 27001 with structured assessments, a live findings tracker, risk register, incident management, and an AI audit coach. Built for teams without a dedicated security person. Free tier available. No consultant required.
I have worked in the industry for 15 years, and in that time I have seen many vendors offering what I call a "black box solution". You pay money, get confirmation you are secure and compliant, but never "own" it yourself. So it becomes impossible to become self-sufficient in the future as you grow.
I built Fortify to solve this for small and medium businesses — they know they need to take cyber security seriously, especially when enterprise clients start asking for ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials before signing contracts, but the path to getting there is either hire a consultant for £10k+ or wade through guidance written for large enterprises with dedicated security teams.
Neither works for a 20-person business trying to win their first big contract.
Fortify is my attempt to fix that. Structured assessments that identify your real gaps, a live tracker to work through them, incident management, risk register, policy library, and an AI audit coach that walks you through Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 in plain English — everything a small team needs to build genuine security maturity without needing to hire a CISO.
There's a free tier so you can see exactly where you stand before spending anything.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has been through the pain of getting CE+ or ISO 27001 as a small business — what did you wish existed? And if you give Fortify a try, brutal feedback is genuinely welcome.
