OUR STORY
Fortalice Solutions was founded by Theresa Payton, the first female White House Chief Information Officer, to bring strategic cybersecurity to leaders navigating high-stakes environments. After years of protecting national infrastructure, Theresa built a firm where technical excellence is paired with discretion, integrity, and a human-first approach.
Our team works with clients facing complex digital risks, from organizational threats and compliance concerns to personal security and brand protection. Every engagement is grounded in real-world experience and carried out with focus, care, and accountability.
Led by former White House executives
