Continuous monitoring, real patching and a defensible compliance posture — delivered by engineers who have secured organisations like yours for years.
Security for SMEs is not about buying the biggest brand. It is about doing the fundamentals continuously and provably.
SIEM-grade monitoring of every endpoint — suspicious process launches, unusual logins, unauthorised software — triaged by AI, escalated by humans.
Operating systems and third-party software, deployed in controlled windows. With AI-assisted attacks exploiting unpatched software within days, patching is a daily discipline, not a monthly chore.
Defender policies, alerts and tuning — managed by engineers, not left on default settings.
Full gap assessment, technical control implementation and evidence gathering for your annual CE Plus audit — our engineers have taken organisations through certification for years.
Restic-based encrypted endpoint and server backups with regular verification. A backup you have never tested is a hope, not a plan.
Quarterly reviews of your security posture: patch status, exposure, access control and user awareness — with plain-English reporting.
Unpatched software & AI-assisted attacks
In 2026, a PHP-CGI vulnerability (dubbed "PHP2Shell") exposed unpatched servers to remote code execution — and attackers exploited it at scale within days, not the weeks or months of traditional attack cycles. The uncomfortable truth: AI-assisted vulnerability discovery and weaponisation has collapsed the patch window from months to days.
What this means for your business: a quarterly "patch cycle" is no longer a defensible strategy. Fortis Nomad's automated patching with continuous endpoint inventory closes that window — and our AI monitoring detects the anomalous process behaviour that follows a real exploit attempt.
The outcome: clients on our managed patching had the vulnerable packages patched and verified before the attack wave reached them. No emergency out-of-hours response. No downtime. No data loss.
Many UK SMEs need CE Plus certification for tenders, contracts or client assurance. Few can achieve it alone. We deliver it end-to-end: assessment, technical controls, evidence and the annual audit.
