Rethinking cyber risk management to make it actionable

FortaRisks is a Canada-based cybersecurity platform built by practitioners. We connect your posture to live threat intelligence so you can decide, not just observe.

What we believe

Governance, risk and compliance are no longer optional.

They have become the backbone of a defence that holds. In a digital landscape where the attack surface grows faster than the teams watching it, GRC is no longer a control function at the end of the chain: it is the foundation of operational resilience, business trust and growth that does not stop at the first incident.

This shift is not theoretical. NIS2 and DORA make the management body personally accountable for cyber risk. Quebec's Law 25 requires a named officer and documented assessments. The Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification gates access to defence contracts. Meanwhile your customers ask for your SOC 2 before they sign, and your insurer prices on demonstrated posture. Compliance has stopped being a year-end cost and become a condition of doing business.

What did not keep up is the tooling. GRC stayed declarative, annual and disconnected from real threat: a spreadsheet filled in once a year says nothing about what is targeting you today. That is exactly the gap FortaRisks closes, with governance fed continuously by threat, exposure and third-party risk, producing defendable decisions rather than reports.

Our mission

Empower organizations to decide, not just observe. Cybersecurity should be a lever for decision-making and resilience, not a pile of tools and reports. We turn cyber complexity into clear, prioritized and defensible decisions.

Who we serve

CISOs, CTI analysts and security teams in OT/ICS, manufacturing, energy and critical infrastructure, where a cyber incident has physical, operational and regulatory consequences.

Our approach

Cybersecurity does not have a data problem, it has a correlation problem. Most teams answer it by buying another tool, and end up with more dashboards and less clarity. FortaRisks goes the other way. It replaces the pile of single-purpose tools with one model that pulls your posture, live threat intelligence, external attack surface and third-party risk together, then ranks what matters. The output is not another dashboard. It is a short, defensible list of actions, each tied to the evidence behind it.

Why critical infrastructure

We focus on environments where a cyber incident does not stop at data. In OT/ICS, manufacturing and energy, an intrusion can halt production, trip a safety system or bring in a regulator. Those teams need more than a generic score. They need coverage that understands industrial exposure, reads in read-only, and connects a vulnerability to the threat actually using it. That focus shapes what we build, and what we leave out.

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, hosted in Canada

    Your data stays in Canada, and a person reads every request. No chatbots.
