The Fortis Story

Born from Necessity.
Engineered for Resilience.

What started with a security failure at our own business became a commitment to engineering solutions that actually work.

The Failure

That Sparked an Idea

Our Origin

When "Security" Isn't Enough

After our construction company was broken into, we felt what every property owner dreads: vulnerability, violation, and the realization that our standard security system had failed.

The products we had trusted—the ones everyone uses—hadn't prevented a determined thief. They were a deterrent in name only, not in practice.

This experience gave us a new mandate: to engineer physical security solutions that address real-world threats and provide uncompromising protection.

Our Process

The Search for Real Protection

We searched for better physical security. We were disappointed to find a market dominated by outdated designs and poor materials, sold by companies more interested in recurring fees than in providing robust protection.

  • Flimsy Materials:

    Products that looked secure but could be defeated with basic tools and force.

  • One-Size-Fits-All:

    Generic systems that failed to address our specific vulnerabilities and property layout.

  • Empty Promises:

    Marketing hype that lacked the engineering and testing to back it up.

Our Solution

If You Want It Done Right,
Engineer It Yourself.

With a background in engineering and a new expertise in vulnerability, we decided to build what we couldn't buy: physical security that actually works.

We spent months designing, prototyping, and testing. We consulted with structural engineers, studied criminal methods, and engineered solutions that address real-world threats, not theoretical ones.

The result? Systems so effective, we stake our own livelihoods on them every day.

Why This Matters to Every Property Owner

Physical security threats are evolving. The statistics are sobering:

In organized retail crime, often involving forced entry.

40%

Hit Again Within a Year

Once targeted, properties often become repeat victims.
