Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Bucharest, Romania, the company serves clients across multiple sectors, including banking and financial services, government, energy and utilities, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications, retail, and oil and gas. FORT S.A. delivers a specialized portfolio of cybersecurity solutions organized into core operational areas: offensive security and technical assessment services, encompassing web and mobile application penetration testing, external and internal network infrastructure penetration testing, source code security auditing, cloud security configuration reviews, vulnerability assessments, and Red Teaming attack simulations; managed detection and response, comprising 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) as a Service, continuous threat hunting, real-time security event monitoring, incident response, digital forensics, crisis containment, and breach remediation; governance, risk, and regulatory compliance advisory, offering gap assessments, implementation consulting, and formal audit support for the European Union's Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), ISO/IEC 27001 standards, PCI DSS, and GDPR; human risk management, featuring automated phishing simulation campaigns, security hygiene awareness programs, and workforce risk scoring; and emerging technology security advisory, delivering secure Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation consulting, AI governance frameworks, and algorithmic deployment vulnerability audits. In recent developments, FORT S.A. completed its public listing on the AeRO segment of the Bucharest Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol 4RT in May 2024 following a private placement. Originally formed through the strategic integration of Global Resolution Experts (GRX) and ISEC Associates under Bittnet Systems, the company underwent a ownership restructuring in late 2024 when Bittnet divested its equity stake to investment funds including Agista Investments and Impetum Group. To support its ongoing expansion, the company has scaled its recurring-revenue SOC-as-a-Service subscriptions, entered strategic technology partnerships, expanded its cross-border service delivery into Western European markets, and integrated dedicated AI security governance into its regulatory compliance suite.
