The FORTIFIED ALLIANCE was born of the realisation that the typical SME is frequently under-equipped to mount an effective response to a major incident which may threaten their business.
The unfortunate reality is, whilst a large enterprise organisation may have the necessary tools, processes, expertise, and resources to identify incidents effectively and move quickly to limit the impact of any such, the typical SME simply does not, and cannot quickly develop such capabilities, leaving them hugely vulnerable to a wide variety of risks, many of which require little investment to mitigate.

With representation across Compliance, Accounting, Legal, Insurance, HR, PR, and more, the FORTIFIED ALLIANCE is both an SME specialist incident response service and an effective signposting facility for those on the hunt for a trustworthy partner in one of the allied industries.
