Cloud & Infrastructure Security

Turn security requirements into implemented controls.

Fortera Security helps technology organisations remediate cloud and infrastructure security risks identified through enterprise security reviews, penetration tests, compliance programmes and internal assessments.

From IAM and privileged access to logging, encryption, CI/CD, infrastructure controls and resilience, we work with engineering and security teams to implement the controls required by increasingly demanding technology environments.

The gap

Security findings do not remediate themselves.

Enterprise security reviews, penetration tests, compliance programmes and internal assessments regularly identify weaknesses inside cloud and infrastructure environments.

The report may identify the risk. The engineering work still needs to happen.

  • Permissions need redesigning.
  • Logging needs implementing.
  • Infrastructure needs hardening.
  • Encryption needs improving.
  • Deployment controls need strengthening.
  • Recovery processes need validating.

And organisations need evidence that the control has actually been implemented. Fortera provides specialist engineering capability to move from finding to closure.

Resilience & Recovery

Improve the ability to recover systems and infrastructure after disruption.

  • Backup architecture
  • Disaster recovery
  • Recovery testing
  • Infrastructure rebuild
  • Environment recovery
  • Backup isolation
  • RTO / RPO validation
  • Resilience controls

Enterprise readiness

Enterprise security reviews increasingly reach deep into your infrastructure.

As technology companies begin working with larger customers, security due diligence often becomes significantly more detailed.

Enterprise buyers may ask how infrastructure is secured, how privileged access is controlled, how activity is logged, how customer data is encrypted, how deployments are governed and how services are recovered after failure.

The problem is rarely answering the questionnaire alone. The harder problem is what happens when the answer reveals that a control needs improving. Fortera helps organisations address the underlying technical requirement.

Partners

Specialist infrastructure security capability for partners.

Fortera works alongside cybersecurity firms, compliance specialists, technology consultancies and security vendors where clients require hands on cloud and infrastructure support. Partners retain their core expertise. Fortera adds specialist implementation capability where required.

Penetration Testing & Red Team

Specialist remediation capability for cloud and infrastructure findings identified during testing.

GRC & Compliance

Technical implementation behind control requirements defined by a compliance programme.

vCISO & Advisory

A delivery extension for the cloud and infrastructure priorities an adviser has identified.

MSP / MSSP / SOC

Project based specialist support for work outside a standard managed service scope.

Cloud & Technology Consultancies

Deeper infrastructure security expertise alongside an existing delivery team.

Security & Compliance Vendors

Implementation support where a product identifies a requirement a customer must now meet.

Method

A practical path from requirement to implementation.

01

Discover

Understand the environment, requirement, finding or security concern.

02

Prioritise

Identify the highest priority controls and define the required technical outcome.

03

Design

Determine how the control should be implemented within the existing environment.

04

Implement

Work hands on with engineering, platform and security teams.

05

Validate

Confirm the technical control has been implemented appropriately.

06

Evidence

Help produce technical evidence that supports internal or external assurance.

07

Maintain

Where appropriate, support ongoing governance and infrastructure consistency.

Modern infrastructure

AI is increasing the importance of infrastructure security.

AI systems, automation and agents introduce new identities, permissions, data flows and integrations into existing technology environments.

That increases the importance of strong access controls, secrets management, infrastructure isolation, logging, governance and monitoring.

Fortera helps organisations strengthen the infrastructure and cloud controls surrounding modern AI enabled systems.

  • Identity
  • Cloud
  • Infrastructure
  • Data access
  • Permissions
  • Logging
  • Governance
  • Technical controls

Outcomes

Security engineering with a business purpose.

Reduce security risk

Strengthen technical controls across cloud and infrastructure environments.

Reduce remediation backlogs

Provide specialist capability where internal teams lack time or capacity.

Support enterprise assurance

Help organisations demonstrate stronger technical security controls during customer and partner due diligence.

Build for scale

Create infrastructure controls that remain manageable as environments and customer expectations become more complex.

Security requirement identified?
Let’s work out how to close it.

Whether the requirement came from a customer security review, penetration test, compliance programme, cloud assessment or internal security initiative, Fortera can help determine whether specialist infrastructure remediation is required.
