Security Strategy & Advisory

We help boards, CISOs, and leadership teams define cyber security strategies that align with business risk, governance expectations, regulatory obligations, and modern Zero Trust principles.

  • Cyber Security Strategy & Roadmap

    Who this is for
    Organizations seeking a clear, defensible cyber security direction aligned with business priorities, regulatory requirements, and risk appetite. Particularly relevant for regulated industries, growing enterprises, and organizations undergoing digital or cloud transformation.

    What this enables
    A shared understanding between leadership, IT, and security teams on where to invest, what risks to prioritize, and how to evolve security capabilities over time — without over-engineering or tool-driven decisions.

    How FORTEIA supports
    FORTEIA works with executive stakeholders to assess the current security posture, define target-state capabilities, and develop a pragmatic, phased cyber security roadmap. The strategy aligns Zero Trust principles, governance expectations, and regulatory obligations with measurable business outcomes.

    What you receive
    A documented cyber security strategy, a prioritized multi-year roadmap, and executive-level guidance that supports informed decision-making, budget planning, and accountability.

    Typical engagement scenarios
    New or evolving CISO function, board-requested security clarity, regulatory or audit findings, cloud and digital transformation initiatives, or security investment rationalization.

  • vCISO (CISO-as-a-Service)

    Who this is for
    Organizations that require senior cyber security leadership without appointing a full-time CISO. Common for regulated enterprises, public sector bodies, and organizations facing audit, regulatory, or transformation pressures.

    What this enables
    Clear ownership of cyber risk at leadership level, informed board and executive decision-making, and alignment between business objectives, regulatory obligations, and security investments.

    How FORTEIA supports
    FORTEIA acts as an independent, senior CISO advisor embedded within your organization. We define and govern the cyber security strategy and roadmap, oversee risk and compliance posture, support leadership during audits and incidents, and act as a trusted interface with regulators and partners.

    What you receive
    A structured engagement model with executive-level reporting, risk visibility, and strategic guidance — providing continuity, accountability, and leadership without operational overhead.

    Typical engagement scenarios
    CISO transition or interim leadership, regulatory readiness (ISO, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, sectoral regulations), board-mandated security uplift, and security maturity scaling.

  • Zero Trust Architecture Design

    Who this is for
    Organizations looking to modernize their security architecture in response to cloud adoption, hybrid work, and evolving threat landscapes. Particularly relevant for regulated enterprises seeking a practical and defensible Zero Trust approach.

    What this enables
    A clear architectural blueprint that reduces implicit trust, strengthens identity and access controls, and improves visibility across users, devices, applications, and data — without disrupting business operations.

    How FORTEIA supports
    FORTEIA designs Zero Trust architectures aligned with business context, risk tolerance, and regulatory expectations. We define target-state security principles, control domains, and integration patterns across identity, network, endpoint, application, and data layers — independent of specific vendors or tools.

    What you receive
    A documented Zero Trust architecture, implementation guidance, and a phased adoption plan aligned with your cyber security strategy and roadmap.

    Typical engagement scenarios
    Cloud or hybrid transformation, identity modernization, regulatory or audit-driven architecture review, post-incident security redesign, or board-mandated Zero Trust adoption.

  • Security Maturity Assessments

    Who this is for
    Organizations seeking an objective understanding of their current cyber security capabilities, control effectiveness, and risk exposure. Commonly used by regulated enterprises, leadership teams, and boards requiring evidence-based insights.

    What this enables
    Clear visibility into strengths, gaps, and priorities across people, processes, and technology — enabling informed decisions on remediation, investment, and risk acceptance.

    How FORTEIA supports
    FORTEIA conducts independent maturity assessments aligned with recognized frameworks and regulatory expectations. We evaluate governance, controls, and operational practices, and translate findings into practical, prioritized recommendations aligned with your business context.

    What you receive
    A structured maturity assessment report, risk-based findings, and a prioritized improvement roadmap that supports strategic planning and regulatory discussions.

    Typical engagement scenarios
    Board or leadership requests for security clarity, regulatory or audit preparation, post-incident review, merger or acquisition due diligence, or baseline assessment before major transformation initiatives.

  • Board & Leadership Cyber Risk Advisory

    Who this is for
    Boards of directors, executive leadership teams, and senior management seeking clarity on cyber risk, accountability, and decision-making in an increasingly regulated and threat-intensive environment.

    What this enables
    A shared understanding of cyber risk at leadership level, informed governance decisions, and the ability to oversee security investments, priorities, and accountability with confidence.

    How FORTEIA supports
    FORTEIA acts as an independent advisor to boards and leadership teams, translating technical security matters into business and risk language. We support governance discussions, define reporting structures, and help leadership engage effectively with regulators, auditors, and internal stakeholders.

    What you receive
    Executive-level cyber risk briefings, clear risk narratives, and governance-oriented insights that enable informed oversight without operational detail overload.

    Typical engagement scenarios
    Board-mandated cyber risk reviews, regulatory or supervisory expectations, executive onboarding, incident-related briefings, or preparation for audits and external disclosures.
