Fortera Partner Network

Extend your capability without building everything in house.

Fortera works with security firms, compliance advisers, technology consultancies and vendors that occasionally require specialist cloud and infrastructure security delivery capability.

Philosophy

Specialists working with specialists.

Clients increasingly require expertise across multiple security disciplines.

One organisation may need penetration testing, compliance advisory, cloud remediation, SOC capability, identity expertise and application security. Few firms need to build every capability internally.

Fortera believes specialist partners can work together to provide clients with stronger outcomes while allowing each organisation to remain focused on its core expertise.

Partner types

Where Fortera fits alongside your work.

Penetration Testing & Red Team Firms

Typical situation: A penetration test identifies vulnerabilities or infrastructure weaknesses. The client asks: “Who is going to fix these?”

Fortera can provide specialist cloud and infrastructure remediation capability.

Reciprocal opportunity: When Fortera clients require penetration testing, suitable specialist testing partners can be introduced.

GRC & Compliance Consultancies

Typical situation: A SOC 2, ISO 27001 or wider compliance programme identifies technical control requirements.

The advisory team defines the governance or compliance requirement. Fortera supports technical implementation where required.

vCISO & Security Advisory Firms

Typical situation: The security adviser identifies strategic or technical security priorities and the client requires specialist implementation support.

Fortera can act as a delivery extension for cloud and infrastructure work.

MSPs / MSSPs / SOC Providers

Typical situation: A managed provider identifies an infrastructure weakness or project requirement outside its standard managed service.

Fortera can provide project based specialist support.

Cloud & Technology Consultancies

Typical situation: A cloud migration, platform transformation or software project requires deeper infrastructure security expertise.

Fortera can work alongside the existing delivery team without replacing the core consultancy relationship.

Security & Compliance Software Vendors

Typical situation: A product identifies a requirement. The customer then asks: “How do we actually implement this?”

Fortera can provide specialist implementation support where appropriate.

Commercial models

Flexible ways to work together.

Referral

A partner introduces a client requiring Fortera capability.

Joint engagement

Both organisations provide complementary services to the same customer.

Specialist subcontracting

Fortera provides a clearly defined technical capability within a larger programme.

White label delivery

Where commercially appropriate, Fortera provides specialist delivery behind a partner led engagement.

Implementation partner

A security or technology vendor identifies the requirement and Fortera supports technical implementation.

Client relationships

Designed to complement your relationship.

Fortera's role is to provide specialist capability rather than displace the originating partner. Partnership models should establish clear responsibilities, scope, communication and commercial terms before client work begins.

Clear role definition

Everyone understands which organisation owns which part of the engagement.

Complementary capability

Fortera focuses on specialist cloud and infrastructure requirements.

Commercial clarity

Commercial expectations are agreed before delivery begins.

Long term relationships

The objective is to build repeatable partner relationships rather than one off introductions.
