Forte Managed IT · Managed Security

28 security domains. One accountable partner.

Most small and mid-size businesses buy security one tool at a time and hope the gaps don't line up. Forte Managed IT covers the full lifecycle — govern, prevent, detect and recover — with one team answerable for all of it.

Govern · 6 domains

Know your risk, set the rules and prove you follow them.

01

Risk assessment & vCISO

Independent risk review and security leadership beyond the monthly compliance cycle.

02

A written policy set, control mapping and audit evidence for HIPAA, PCI and state and local government frameworks.

03

Security awareness training

Baseline testing, simulated phishing and continuous training to cut click-through rates.

04

Asset tracking

Knowing which devices, users and licenses you own — the input to every other domain.

05

Vendor & supply-chain risk

Knowing which third parties can reach your data, and holding them to the same standard.

06

Personnel security & joiner / mover / leaver

Screening where required, and accounts created and removed on day one rather than week three.

Prevent · 15 domains

Close the doors attackers actually use.

07

Identity & access — MFA / conditional access

MFA everywhere, conditional access policy, and a phased per-user rollout.

08

Privileged access management

Vaulting and brokering admin rights so one stolen credential can't become domain-wide control.

09

Password management

A vault for every member of staff, so credentials stop living in spreadsheets and browsers.

Managed next-generation antivirus with detection and response on every endpoint.

11

Stopping phishing, spoofing and malicious attachments before they reach the inbox.

12

A managed edge firewall, sized to your team and delivered and renewed as a service.

Blocking known-malicious destinations before a connection is ever made.
