Our comprehensive service portfolio includes regulatory compliance (FedRAMP, FISMA, SOC, ISO, HIPAA, CMMC, PCI) and technical security services (Penetration Testing, Red Teaming, Social Engineering, Attack Surface Analysis and others).

Working with Fortune 500 companies and leading cloud service providers, we've built our reputation on our service-delivery excellence and unwavering commitment to client success.

• Service Catalog Expansion: Ensure Fortreum’s full suite of Technical Testing services (Red Teaming, Penetration Testing) is accurately listed and transactable on Cloud Marketplaces (AWS/Azure).

• Differentiation: Equip FSIs and Hyperscalers with messaging on how XRAMP reduces compliance "drift", helping them secure long-term cloud consumption commitments from their customers.
