Fortress Named Most Innovative Critical Infrastructure Platform by The Hacker News Cybersecurity Stars Awards 2026

Fortress Cyber GRC

GRC Built for the Stakes of Critical Infrastructure

Most GRC platforms were built for compliance checkboxes. Fortress Cyber GRC was built for organizations where a governance gap is not just an audit finding, it is a national security risk. With the advancements of Artificial Intelligence, GRC teams need to respond faster than ever, with programs built to scale for modern day challenges. 

A MODERN GRC PLATFORM FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Siloed data, inflexible processes, brittle audit cycles – all hallmarks of historic GRC platforms. Fortress changes that. A single platform connects your vendor risk, cyber asset inventory, policy management, compliance obligations, and audit workflows - so your risk picture is always complete, always current, and always actionable.

Fortress harnesses AI to simplify compliance with the most demanding regulatory bodies in the country: NERC CIP, NRC, TSA, CMMC, and others. When regulations change, the platform adapts. When risks surface, the platform prescribes a response. When auditors arrive, the evidence is already there.

FULL-SPECTRUM COVERAGE

TPRM

Identify, assess, and monitor risks across your vendor and supply chain ecosystem - connected to the A2V Network for in-depth vendor intelligence.

Vulnerability Management

Surface, prioritize, and track remediation of vulnerabilities across your environment - down to the asset level, not just the enterprise level.

Policy Lifecycle Management

Policies are only as strong as the processes that maintain them. Fortress tracks every policy from creation through review, approval, and retirement - so nothing expires unnoticed and every version is accounted for. Your policy program stays current, auditable, and connected to the risks it is meant to address.

Incident Management

When something goes wrong, the last thing you need is a coordination problem. Fortress centralizes incident intake, task assignment, and resolution tracking in one place - giving your team a clear record of what happened, what was done, and who was responsible. Every incident closes with the documentation already built.

Risk Register

A risk register that lives in a spreadsheet is a risk in itself. Fortress gives you a dynamic, structured register that connects identified risks to the vendors, assets, and controls they touch - so your risk picture stays current as your environment changes. Prioritize what matters, track what is being done about it, and demonstrate governance at a glance.

Vendor Performance Management

Your vendors made commitments. Fortress helps you hold them to it. Contract SLA terms are captured and structured automatically, individual performance metrics roll up into a dynamic vendor grade, and obligation deadlines feed directly into platform workflows - so vendor performance is measured against what was actually agreed to, not just what was assessed.

Incident Response

A third-party incident is your regulatory obligation and your timeline, not just your vendor's problem. Fortress coordinates your internal response from first notice through resolution - tracking SLA breach windows in real time, logging every action with timestamped activity records, and producing the documentation your auditors will eventually ask for. Respond with confidence, not improvisation.

Data Privacy

Data privacy obligations do not manage themselves. Fortress maps your data assets to the regulatory requirements that govern them - giving privacy and security teams a shared view of where sensitive data lives, who is responsible for it, and what obligations apply. Stay ahead of regulatory change before it becomes a compliance gap.

Asset Governance

You cannot protect what you cannot see. Fortress gives you a structured inventory of your critical assets - systems, data, vendors, and the relationships between them - so that governance decisions are grounded in an accurate picture of your environment. When something changes, your program reflects it.

Continuity Planning

Business continuity plans that sit in documents do not get tested, updated, or used when it matters most. Fortress connects continuity planning to the live risk and vendor data already in your program - so plans reflect your actual dependencies, recovery objectives are tied to real assets, and your organization is ready when disruption hits.

Regulatory Change Management

Regulations change. The question is whether your program changes with them. Fortress tracks regulatory developments relevant to your industry and maps them to the controls, policies, and vendors in your program - so your team knows what a new requirement means for your posture before the effective date arrives.

WHY FORTRESS

Proven at Scale

40% of the U.S. power grid and major defense organizations trust Fortress for GRC. That is not a reference customer - it is a track record.

Timer

Fastest Time to Value in the Category

Enterprise organizations go live and realize value within weeks, not the 6-to-12-month implementation timelines that define legacy GRC platforms. No-code configuration and an in-house professional services team make the difference.
