Our Investment Model: AUM-Aligned Protection
Our AUM-aligned model ties fees to Regulatory Assets Under Management, ensuring the depth of governance, security, and compliance oversight scales with your firm’s true regulatory exposure.
Pricing Built for Fiduciaries
At Fortify Compliance Partners, we believe your security and governance costs should be predictable, transparent, and aligned with the scale of your firm.
We do not charge "per ticket" or "per hour." Instead, we use an AUM-Aligned Model. This ensures that as your assets and regulatory complexities grow, your level of institutional oversight scales in lockstep.
The Fortify Partnership Tiers
Tier 1: The Emerging Advisor
Target: RIAs establishing their regulatory foundation.
Focus: Core Regulation S-P compliance, endpoint defense, and establishing the "Evidence Vault" for future SEC exams.
Pricing Model: Asset-aligned monthly retainer with a minimum floor to ensure CISA-level oversight.
Tier 2: The Growth RIA
Target: Rapidly scaling firms with multiple advisors or locations.
Focus: vCISO strategic planning, advanced threat hunting, and comprehensive vendor risk management for complex tech stacks.
Pricing Model: Tiered basis-point (bps) schedule that provides "Economy of Scale" as you grow.
Tier 3: The Institutional Enterprise

Focus: Independent vCISA attestation, M&A due diligence support, and board-level governance reporting.
Pricing Model: Fixed Institutional Retainer for maximum budgetary predictability.
Why Basis Points?
We align our fees with your Regulatory Assets Under Management (RAUM) for three specific reasons:
Risk Calibration: A $500M firm has a higher risk profile and more complex regulatory requirements than a $50M firm. Our fee reflects the depth of labor required to protect that specific "Risk Surface."
Scalability: You shouldn't have to renegotiate your contract every time you hire a new assistant. Our model allows you to grow your team without worrying about "per-user" price hikes.
Fiduciary Alignment: We are partners in your growth. When your firm succeeds, our partnership deepens.
What’s Included in Every Tier?
Regardless of your size, every Fortify client receives our Fortify 360 Protection:
The Shield: CISSP-engineered technical defenses.
The Vault: CISA-verified audit evidence and GRC portal access.
The Warranty: A $500,000 financial backstop (Cork) to protect your EBITDA.
