Steele Fortress Cybersecurity Consulting
Protecting Your Digital and Real-World Future
Claim Your SlotMost cybersecurity consultants can't read your vendor contracts. Most lawyers can't audit your cloud infrastructure. You need both.
Steele Fortress bridges that gap—offering security consulting grounded in legal expertise. From emergency breach response that can be structured to support attorney-client privilege to privacy structures that protect your assets, we deliver solutions that work in both the technical and legal worlds.
What is SOC-as-a-Service?
Quick Answer: SOC-as-a-Service is outsourced 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring and threat detection for organizations that lack in-house security teams. It provides continuous network surveillance, incident response, and compliance reporting without the overhead of building an internal SOC.
— Jonathan D. Steele, CompTIA Security+, ISC2 CC, CEH

What Our Clients Say
"We discovered unauthorized access on a Friday afternoon. Jonathan had forensics coordinated by Monday, all under attorney-client privilege. His dual background meant we didn't need separate lawyers and IT consultants—he handled both."
- Sarah M., CISO, Healthcare System"Steele Fortress provided exceptional cybersecurity services that safeguarded our digital assets. Their proactive approach identified vulnerabilities we didn't know existed."
- Ben G., Technology Startup"Our CFO was about to sign a $210K/year SIEM contract. Jonathan discovered we were quoted for 2,000 devices when we only had 800. He negotiated it to $87K/year—$369K in savings over the contract term."
