Mission Statement
At Fortify Awareness, our mission is to make cybersecurity simple, human, and accessible. We empower small businesses, nonprofits, and non-technical teams to recognize risks and respond with confidence, because security isn’t just about systems, it’s about people.
About Fortify Awareness
We believe cybersecurity should be part of the culture not a one-time checklist.
Fortify Awareness was founded with a clear goal: to close the gap between technical cybersecurity knowledge and the real-world needs of everyday teams. Whether you’re a small business, nonprofit, or community-based organization, you’re a potential target for cyber threats. We’re here to help you fight back with knowledge.
Our founder, Melissa Simmons, brings a unique background in communications, government service, and cybersecurity education. She’s seen firsthand how powerful it is when non-technical teams are empowered with the right knowledge, not just for compliance, but for confidence.
We deliver:
- Clear, jargon-free training tailored for real people
- Practical strategies that stick, even after the session ends
- A supportive, shame-free learning environment
Our core belief? When people understand the “why” behind cybersecurity, they become part of the solution.
Let’s build a culture of security. Together.
