Work with the engineer, not a middleman

Fortis is a security engineering consultancy. You hire a senior engineer who scopes the work, builds it in your systems and hands it over, so nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a project manager and whoever ends up doing it.

One engineer, start to finish

The person on your scoping call is the person who configures your systems. No account managers, no handoffs, no offshore subcontracting.

Built on real frameworks

Work is mapped to NIST CSF, NIST 800-207 Zero Trust, CIS Benchmarks and SOC 2 controls, so it holds up in an audit or a customer security review.

Hardening you can see

A before-and-after report: what we found, what we changed, and what's left, ranked by risk, so you know exactly what you paid for.

Yours to keep

Runbooks, admin guides and scripts handed over at the end, so your team can run everything without calling us.

Services

Fixed-fee engagements for growth-stage companies heading toward SOC 2 or enterprise customer requirements. Each one is scoped, built and handed over by the same engineer, mapped to a recognized framework, and documented so your team can run it.

Zero Trust architecture

A current-state security audit mapped to NIST 800-207, then an identity-first access model that removes implicit network trust and reduces your attack surface.

Okta IAM build-out

Full Okta configuration: SSO integrations, MFA enforcement, lifecycle automation and provisioning policies, including offboarding automation with PowerShell.

JAMF MDM deployment

Zero-touch macOS and iOS enrollment through JAMF Pro and Apple Business Manager, with conditional access, configuration profiles and device trust for remote-first teams.

SOC 2 readiness

SOC 2 Type I and II readiness from end to end: policy documentation, evidence collection, access review reports and audit-trail configuration mapped to ISO 27001.

Automation and runbooks

PowerShell and Bash scripts for onboarding, offboarding, patching and endpoint provisioning, with documented runbooks your internal team can operate.

Cloud IAM and Entra ID

Microsoft Entra ID configuration, Google Workspace GAM integration and SaaS access control, so identity across your cloud stack follows one set of policies.

Trusted by growing teams

Identity-first security grounded in NIST 800-207 Zero Trust principles, built to leave your team with documentation and automation it can run on its own.

It was a turbulent start at first — we were in the midst of reorganizing. [He] was able to hit the ground running, identifying critical issues and quickly resolving bottlenecks.
CTO, mid-size technology startup
Our engineering team has benefited greatly from Fortis Identity's expertise. He is an excellent collaborator. Attentive, fast-moving, and brings a level of infrastructure maturity that most early-stage companies don't get access to until much later.

It was a bittersweet transition when [he] departed. He was a great mentor for student interns and staff globally — from Boston to Tokyo, we will miss him from across all corners of the world.

About Fortis Identity

Fortis Identity is a security engineering consultancy for identity, devices and Zero Trust. Clients work directly with a senior engineer who designs, builds and documents their security controls, from the first call to the handoff, without the cost of a full-time hire.

Our lead engineer brings 9+ years of experience building identity-first, least-privilege access systems across enterprise environments, specializing in Okta-driven IAM, JAMF endpoint management and SOC 2 compliance readiness.

We work with small businesses and Series A–C companies. You get architecture, hands-on engineering and compliance in one engagement with one engineer, instead of three separate consultants.
