The real cost

Broken technology is never just a technology problem.

Downtime, breaches and unsupported systems show up on the P&L long before they show up in a ticket queue. Here is what the numbers actually look like.

0%

of breaches start with a person, not a firewall

A convincing email, a reused password, a click at the wrong moment. Perimeter tools never see it happen, which is why training and identity controls matter more than another appliance.

$0M

average cost of a single data breach

Recovery, legal costs, regulatory penalties and lost contracts add up quickly. Most of that cost is avoidable with controls that are well understood and affordable to run.

Attacks are automated, so they reach businesses of every size. The same fundamentals stop most of them: current patches, strong sign-in and someone watching.

The other version

Or technology just works, and nobody thinks about it.

That is the entire job. Threats caught early and contained quickly. Problems fixed before a ticket gets filed. A security program you can hand to an auditor without flinching.

What we do

Everything your business needs from an IT department.

Six services, one accountable team, one predictable invoice. Take all of it or start with the part that is hurting most.

Why Fortified

Most IT providers sell you tickets. We sell you quiet.

There is a reason clients stay. It is not the tooling. Everyone has the same tooling. It is what we are willing to put in writing.

Written into every agreement

0 minutes

Guaranteed response on critical issues.

Day, night, weekend, holiday. If we miss it, you get a service credit automatically. You do not have to ask, and you do not have to argue about it. Most providers quote "best effort" and hope you never check.

Flat-rate billing

Unlimited remote support is included. We never profit from your problems taking longer, which is exactly the incentive you want your IT provider to have.

Fortified flat rate Fixed

Named engineers

You get the same two or three people who learn your environment, not a rotating queue that makes you re-explain everything.

Radical transparency

Live dashboards, monthly reporting and documentation that belongs to you. Nothing hidden behind our portal.

No lock-in tactics

Twelve-month agreements with a 60-day out. If we stop earning it, you should be able to leave with everything.

We fix root causes

Closing the same ticket every month is a failure, not recurring revenue. Recurring issues get escalated to a fix.

Free · 2 minutes · No email to see your score

How strong is your security, really?

Ten questions across the controls that actually determine whether an attack succeeds. You get a score, a severity breakdown and the three things worth fixing first, on screen, immediately.

  • Identity & access controls
  • Endpoint protection depth
  • Backup & recovery readiness
  • Email & phishing defense
  • Patch & vulnerability hygiene
  • Incident response maturity

In their words

The part we are most proud of.

Questions

The things people ask before they sign.

If what you need to know isn't here, ask us directly. We answer plainly, including when the answer is no.

Still deciding?

A 30-minute call costs you nothing and usually answers more than an hour of reading.

Our plans run from $99 to $159 per user per month, with regulated environments scoped individually. A 25-person company typically lands between $2,500 and $4,000 a month, all in, with no hourly billing on top. You get exact pricing after the assessment, not before.

Thirty days is typical for a clean transition. We can move faster in an emergency (we have onboarded a client in 72 hours after their provider walked away), but 30 days lets us document properly rather than inherit a mess.

Our standard agreement is 12 months, and it includes a 60-day out if we are not delivering. We would rather earn the renewal than trap you in year three of a five-year term.

Both, properly. We manage macOS with the same monitoring, patching and encryption standards as Windows, plus mobile device management for iOS and Android.

You get your documentation, your credentials, your configurations and a structured handover to whoever comes next. Your environment is yours. Holding a client hostage through obscurity is not a business model we are interested in.

Monitoring and critical incident response run 24/7/365. Routine requests are handled during business hours unless your plan includes extended coverage, which many of our healthcare and manufacturing clients choose.

Not at all. That is our co-managed model and roughly a third of our clients use it. Your person keeps ownership and context while we supply the tooling, the overnight coverage and the specialist escalation.

Most issues resolve remotely within minutes. When hardware needs hands, we dispatch to our core metros, and scheduled on-site visits are included in every plan at an agreed cadence.

Free consultation

Let's find out what's actually broken.

Most companies we talk to are carrying two or three risks they don't know about and paying for something they don't need. Thirty minutes is usually enough to find both.

  • A real conversation Thirty minutes with an engineer, not a commissioned salesperson reading from a deck.
  • An honest assessment We will tell you what is genuinely urgent and what can wait a quarter, including when the answer is 'you're fine'.
  • A written plan A prioritized roadmap and flat-rate pricing. Yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
