Cyber Governance

Transforming Your Business Risks into Strategic Advantages

Cybersecurity isn’t just a risk management function — it’s a business enabler. At Ratio Fortis, we help fast-growing, compliance-sensitive organizations build cyber governance frameworks that align with business objectives, investor expectations, and regulatory demands.

Whether you’re a venture-backed SaaS startup, a healthcare provider navigating HIPAA, or a defense subcontractor exploring CMMC, our tailored cyber governance programs give you clarity, control, and confidence.

Our Approach: Modular, Scalable, and Strategic

9 Key Challenges Faced by a Business

These are based on the discussion and feedback from our clients.

Resources

There are simply not enough people, not the right people, and lack of training and technical solutions in place.

IT MSPs

Are struggling to provide executives with relevant and timely management information.

Expertise

There’s a lack of knowledge and expertise at Board level around cyber risk.

Vendor Management

Little to no consideration of the risks associated with vendors and other third-parties, and lack of effective vendor management programmes.

Regulatory Matters

For certain business sectors there are huge demands that are made greater when you need to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Risk & Compliance

The teams are utterly swamped, and whilst ‘cyber risk’ is a top 5 business risk for each business, it’s not getting the attention it needs.

Time

There is a lack of time to understand what is actually happening under the hood of a business around all matters cyber.

Group Services

In group structures there is reliance on Group services but not always the right information and support to meet local requirements and regulations.

Disconnect

There’s a real disconnect between the Board’s understanding of cyber risk and how that needs to be built into the operations of a business.

These factors mean that your business is potentially exposed because cyber risk is not getting the attention it deserves.

Sadly, the reality is that a single cyber incident could easily expose your business to regulatory risk, repetitional risk, financial risk and the risk of losing clients.
