About

Giving every company the visibility the largest have on their cyber risk

Large enterprises have whole teams to see where they are exposed and decide what to fix. Everyone else makes do with a spreadsheet and a few consulting hours. FortaRisks was founded to close that gap: a Quebec company, founded by practitioners, that helps you decide and genuinely reduce your risk.

The founding team

Two founders, one conviction

  • Sébastien

    Founder and CEO

    More than 20 years as CIO, CTO and CISO of large groups. He founded FortaRisks to put that experience within reach of every company, with one requirement: sovereignty. The data that says where a company is vulnerable is hosted in Canada by default, on a platform built in Quebec.

  • Maha

    Co-founder and VP Finance, Marketing & Customer Relations

    More than 20 years in customer relations and business development, including cybersecurity work with large institutions, reducing their vulnerabilities. She leads finance, marketing and customer relations, and makes sure the platform and the support start from what customers actually need.

What we believe

Cyber risk is no longer a large-enterprise problem.

A customer who wants proof before signing, an insurer who asks questions before renewing, a law that requires a named officer: cybersecurity has become a condition for doing business, whatever your size.

Yet the tools were built for large groups: expensive, siloed, and designed for teams most companies do not have. What is left is a spreadsheet filled in once a year, which says nothing about what is targeting you today.

We believe it can be different. One platform, continuously connected to threats, to your exposure and to your suppliers, that tells you what to fix first and proves that risk is going down. So that every company can decide with the clarity of a large one, and act.

Our mission

Enable every company to decide and genuinely reduce its cyber risk, with the visibility of a large enterprise, without the team and the budget that usually come with it.

Who we serve

Companies of every size and in every sector, and SMBs first, which need the same visibility as a large enterprise without having its team. Many have plants, several sites or suppliers they answer for: there, a cyber incident affects production, customers and the supply chain.

Our approach

Cybersecurity does not have a data problem, it has a correlation problem. Rather than one more tool, FortaRisks brings your posture, threat intelligence, attack surface and suppliers into a single model, then ranks what matters. The output is not another dashboard: it is a short list of actions, each tied to the evidence behind it.

Built in Quebec, hosted in Canada

Your security data says exactly where your company is vulnerable. It deserves to be treated accordingly: the platform is built in Quebec, and the data entrusted to it is hosted in Canada by default. We state plainly what stays in Canada and what goes through a third-party service.

Trust and sovereignty

What we stand for

  • Data before opinion

    Every decision is grounded in correlated evidence, not gut feeling.

  • Prioritization over exhaustiveness

    We surface the few actions that matter, not a thousand findings.

  • Impact, not just the box ticked

    Compliance is essential and it must be demonstrated. It is not sufficient: the goal is still less actual risk.

  • Real people, data hosted in Canada

    Platform data stays in Canada, and a person reads every request and answers you.
