We're looking for businesses that need to build or manage security programs but don't have 
dedicated security expertise on staff. The ideal Development Partner is a growing company that 
recognizes security is important for their business, whether that's to meet customer 
requirements, achieve compliance, or simply protect what they've built, but they don't have a 
security leader or team to own this responsibility. You might be a founder, operations leader, or 
IT professional who's been handed security responsibilities alongside your other duties, and you 
need a platform that can guide you through what to do rather than assuming you already know. 
You should be willing to share feedback about what's confusing, what's helpful, and what you 
wish the platform could do to make security more manageable for non-experts. We're 
particularly interested in businesses that are frustrated by how complex and expert-dependent 
security feels today, because that's exactly the problem we're solving.

As a Development Partner, you'll work directly with our team to co-develop FortifyOps based 
on what businesses without security teams actually need to succeed. This means you'll get 
early access to the platform as we build it, participate in regular feedback sessions where you 
can tell us what's working and what's still too complicated or unclear, and help us validate that 
we're truly making security accessible for people who aren't security experts. In exchange for 
this collaboration, you'll receive ten thousand dollars in value through dedicated support from 
our team, which means you'll have direct access to security expertise as you build your 
program, priority assistance with your specific security challenges, and hands-on guidance as 
you implement the platform. You're not just testing software, you're helping us understand what 
businesses like yours actually need to manage security confidently without having to hire 
specialized expertise first.

FortifyOps is currently in active development and available exclusively to our Development 
Partners. We're not offering general availability yet because we're intentionally building the 
platform in close collaboration with businesses who don't have security teams, which means we 
need to learn directly from you about what makes security confusing, what kinds of guidance 
would actually be helpful, and how to structure the platform so it makes sense to people who 
aren't security experts. If you join as a Development Partner, you'll get access to the platform as 
features become available, which means you'll see it evolve in real time and have direct 
influence over how we make security more accessible. We expect to move toward broader 
availability once we've validated that the platform truly works for businesses without dedicated 
security expertise, but the timeline for that depends on what we learn and build together during 
this phase. 

We understand that as a security platform, we have an especially high bar for how we handle 
your data, and we take that responsibility seriously. FortifyOps is built with security and 
privacy as foundational requirements from day one. Your organizational data remains your data, 
we encrypt it both in transit and at rest, and we never use your information to train AI models or 
share it with other customers. We follow industry standard security practices for access controls, 
data isolation, and infrastructure protection. Since you'll be working closely with our team as a 
Development Partner, you'll have direct access to our security experts who can explain exactly 
how we're protecting your data in terms that make sense, even if you're not a security specialist 
yourself. We're happy to walk through our security approach in detail and answer any questions 
you have about how your information is protected. 

You can apply through the form on this page. We'll ask you some questions about your 
business, what security challenges you're facing, and what you're hoping to achieve by working 
with us. Once you submit your application, our team will review it and reach out within a few 
days to schedule a conversation. During that discussion, we'll explore whether there's a good fit 
between what you need and what we're building, answer any questions you have about the 
program, and determine together whether the Development Partner relationship makes sense 
for both sides. We're intentionally keeping the cohort small so we can work closely with each 
partner and really understand what businesses without security teams need, which means we're 
selective about who we bring in. However, if you're struggling to figure out how to build or 
manage security without dedicated expertise, we'd love to have you help shape FortifyOps AI 
into the platform you wish existed.
