How our Fortinet MSSP and SASE designations help customers simplify secure access
As organisations embrace cloud and hybrid work, secure access shouldn’t be complicated. Our newly confirmed Fortinet MSSP status and SASE designation alongside our existing SD‑WAN accreditation build on a platform that’s independently validated: Fortinet is recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SASE Platforms, and has been recognised as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SD‑WAN for consecutive years. With FortiSASE at the core, we help customers move from fragmented tools to a single, cloud delivered platform unifying networking and security to deliver consistent protection, better user experience, and simpler day‑to‑day operations.
What We Deliver with FortiSASE (by design)
Strategic objectives we enable as part of your SASE strategy:
- Secure hybrid and remote access for users, devices, and applications anywhere.
- Replace legacy VPNs and siloed tools with a unified, cloud native security stack.
- Simplify policy and visibility via unified administration and a single policy plane.
- Enable Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and least‑privilege controls by default.
- Scale globally with high‑availability Points of Presence (PoPs) for performance and resilience.
Business & Security Benefits (why customers choose this path)
- Consistent security everywhere: Protection follows the user and device not the network so policies are applied uniformly across offices, home, and on the road.
- Simplified architecture: Consolidate point products into one converged platform, reducing integration gaps and operational drag.
- Reduced operational complexity: Manage with a single agent, single console, and unified policies cutting noise and time‑to‑action.
- Improved performance: Enforce policies at local PoPs for lower latency and a better user experience with SaaS and cloud apps.
- Enhanced compliance controls: Apply data governance, consistent policy enforcement, and central logging to support audits and regulatory requirements.
Compliance & Risk Management Alignment
- Zero Trust alignment: Implements ZTNA and least privilege principles consistent with NIST Zero Trust Architecture guidance.
- ISO readiness: Supports controls relevant to ISO/IEC 27001 / 27017 / 27018 through centralised policy, logging, and continuous improvement.
- Privacy and sovereignty: Helps address GDPR and regional privacy laws with data‑aware policies, logging, and data sovereignty controls.
- Auditability: Consistent policy enforcement and centralised logging make evidence collection and reporting straightforward.
How We Make It Simple (and keep it that way)
Assess & align We map identity, applications, locations, and risk priorities, then define a clear SASE roadmap that fits your environment.
Design & deploy We implement FortiSASE + SD‑WAN with unified policies, integrated with identity, SIEM/SOAR, and existing change processes.
Operate & optimise (managed) 24/7 monitoring, incident response, patching, tuning, and quarterly service reviews so secure access keeps pace with your business.
Outcome: secure access that feels invisible to users and measurable to the business.
Where This Helps Most
- Hybrid workforce enablement: Move beyond VPN bottlenecks with ZTNA and identity driven access.
- Branch & edge modernisation: Replace MPLS and point tools with converged SD‑WAN + cloud security.
- Cloud & SaaS control: Enforce consistent policies and data protection close to users.
- M&A acceleration: Onboard new sites and users fast without re‑architecting the core.
