FAQ

Straight answers before the first conversation.

Fortivus is booking GAP Evaluation and Fractional Security Leadership engagements now. The Shield remains a separate development-stage conversation.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What leaders usually want to know.

Is GAP Evaluation available now?

Yes. Fortivus is booking GAP Evaluation engagements now.

A GAP Evaluation is a structured advisory review designed to help leadership understand what is working, what remains uncovered, which physical-security gaps matter most, and what should happen next.

Each engagement begins with a scoping conversation so the review fits the organization, facility, responsibilities, and decisions leadership actually needs to make.

What does a GAP Evaluation provide?

The objective is not simply to produce a long list of deficiencies.

A GAP Evaluation is intended to help leadership understand:

  • what is already working
  • what remains uncovered
  • which gaps deserve priority
  • what should happen next
  • who should own the next action
  • which issues may require another qualified specialist

The result should give leadership a practical, decision-ready view of priorities rather than a fear-based list of everything that could possibly go wrong.

Is Fractional Security Leadership available now?

Yes. Fortivus is booking Fractional Security Leadership engagements now.

Fractional Security Leadership provides recurring executive-level ownership of physical-security priorities for organizations that need governance, coordination, reporting, and follow-through without necessarily adding a full-time senior security executive.

The exact responsibilities, authority, cadence, and deliverables are defined with the organization before the engagement begins.

What does Fractional Security Leadership exclude?

Fractional Security Leadership is an executive leadership and advisory function.

It does not provide:

  • security guards or patrol
  • alarm monitoring or dispatch
  • emergency response
  • private investigations
  • regulated technical installation
  • legal advice
  • engineering services
  • fire or building-code determinations
  • other professional or regulated services outside the agreed scope

When another specialist or provider is the appropriate answer, Fortivus will say so.

Where does Fortivus work?

Fortivus Protective Systems is based in Amarillo, Texas.

We want to work with organizations wherever we can lawfully, responsibly, and effectively help.

Whether Fortivus can support a particular organization depends on the need, scope, location, applicable requirements, professional boundaries, and whether we can genuinely add value. If we can appropriately help, we want to have the conversation.

Is The Shield available for purchase or installation?

No.

The Shield remains a development-stage protective barrier system.

A full-size working prototype exists, but the commercial configuration, engineering validation, testing, installation requirements, production specifications, and release requirements remain open.

Fortivus may discuss the problem The Shield is intended to address and appropriate development, research, or partnership conversations, but it is not currently available for purchase or installation.

Does Fortivus guarantee safety, compliance, or prevention?

No.

No responsible security provider can guarantee that every threat, emergency, failure, or harmful event can be prevented.

Fortivus also does not represent GAP Evaluation or Fractional Security Leadership as a guarantee of legal compliance, regulatory approval, code compliance, insurance acceptance, or prevention of loss.

Our role is to help organizations understand physical-security issues, strengthen decision-making, establish priorities, and improve ownership and follow-through within the agreed scope.

How should we start?

Start with the problem.

You do not need to know which Fortivus service you need.

Tell us: “What are you responsible for protecting?” and “What concern or decision brought you here?”

From there, Fortivus will help determine whether GAP Evaluation, Fractional Security Leadership, another provider, another specialist, or another path is the responsible next step.

Please do not send detailed vulnerabilities, floor plans, access credentials, response procedures, or other sensitive security information through the public website form.

What if Fortivus is not the right solution?

We will tell you.

Fortivus will not try to make every problem fit a Fortivus service or product.

If another provider, specialist, internal change, public resource, or different solution is the better answer, we will say so.

Protection comes before transaction.
