Fortress MSSP is a New York City–based managed security service provider (MSSP) delivering manual penetration testing, managed network infrastructure, 24/7 proactive monitoring, dark web monitoring, vCISO services, and regulatory compliance advisory (NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, SEC Regulation S-P, SOC 2) to mid-market enterprises across the tri-state area. Founded by infrastructure engineers with backgrounds in both network operations and offensive security, Fortress operates with a practitioner-first model: every engagement is run by a senior engineer with direct client access. The firm serves financial services, legal, healthcare, and technology companies across New York City and the greater metropolitan area.

Fortress MSSP is a New York City–based managed security service provider specializing in cybersecurity services for mid-market enterprises across the tri-state area. The firm was founded on a single premise: security engagements should be run by senior practitioners with deep infrastructure expertise, not junior analysts following scripts.

Fortress delivers ten core services: managed network infrastructure (Cisco IOS, Meraki, SD-WAN), proactive 24/7 network monitoring and support, expert network penetration testing, penetration testing as a service, web application security testing, architecture hardening and zero-trust design, virtual CISO (vCISO) services, incident response retainer, M&A cybersecurity due diligence, and dark web monitoring. The firm also provides regulatory compliance advisory for NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, SEC Regulation S-P, and SOC 2 Type II readiness.

What distinguishes Fortress from larger MSSPs is its infrastructure-first approach: the engineers who design and operate client networks are the same engineers who test them for vulnerabilities. This operational depth — combined with hands-on experience with Cisco, Meraki, and enterprise firewall platforms — enables Fortress to find and fix vulnerabilities that automated tools and generalist consultants routinely miss.

Fortress serves financial services firms, registered investment advisers, law firms, healthcare organizations, and technology companies throughout New York City, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, New Jersey, and Connecticut. All engagements include direct senior engineer access, no account manager layer, and fixed-fee pricing with no hidden scope expansions.
