These Terms apply each time you access the website and may be updated from time to time. See Section 11 for how we handle changes.

These Terms govern use of the website only. They do not govern our provision of consultancy services, which is covered by separate engagement letters agreed with individual clients.

• Reproduce or exploit website content commercially without our prior written consent
• Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to systematically extract data from the website without our consent
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its servers, or any connected system

04

Website Content

General information, not professional advice

Everything on this website including our insight articles, service descriptions, and any other content is provided for general information purposes only. It does not constitute legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, financial, or technical advice, and should not be relied upon as such.

We are a consultancy and we are good at what we do, but published articles are not the same as professional advice tailored to your specific circumstances. Please seek qualified advice before acting on anything you read here.

Insight articles

Our insight articles reflect our views and analysis at the time of publication. The cybersecurity, regulatory, and governance landscape changes quickly. We cannot guarantee that articles remain accurate or up to date after publication, and we accept no liability for any loss arising from reliance on article content without verifying its continued accuracy.

Accuracy

We take reasonable care to keep the website accurate and current, but we make no warranties about the completeness or accuracy of any content. We may change or remove content at any time without notice.

No endorsement

Where we reference regulatory frameworks, tools, vendors, or certifications in our content, this is for informational context only and does not imply any formal endorsement, partnership, or accreditation unless we explicitly say so.

05

Intellectual Property

The website and its content — including text, articles, graphics, the FortressPoint name and logo, and the tagline "Strong foundations. Clear governance. Confident security." — are owned by or licensed to FortressPoint and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may read, download, and print content for your own personal, non-commercial use, provided you do not modify it and you credit FortressPoint as the source. You may not reproduce content for commercial purposes, use our name or logo, or frame or embed the website without our prior written consent.

06

Contact, Newsletter, and Careers

Contact form

When you submit an enquiry, you are sending us a message — not entering into any contract or client relationship. We are not obliged to respond to every message, and responding does not mean we have accepted any instructions.

Please provide accurate information. Do not submit false, misleading, or unlawful content through the contact form.

Newsletter

When you subscribe to the FortressPoint Insights newsletter, you consent to receiving periodic emails from us containing our insight articles and information about our services. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email. We comply with applicable email marketing law including UK PECR and NDPA 2023.

Job applications

When you apply for a position, you confirm that all information in your application is accurate and complete. Submission does not guarantee an interview or offer. We handle application data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

07

Third-Party Links

The website contains links to third-party websites including our social media profiles on LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and Instagram. These links are provided for your convenience. We have no control over those websites, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices.

A link does not mean we endorse or have any association with the linked site or its operators. You visit third-party websites at your own risk.

08

Website Availability

We aim to keep the website available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The website may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances outside our control. We accept no liability for any loss arising from website unavailability.

09

Data Protection and Privacy

How we collect and use your personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy at fortresspointconsulting.com/privacy, which forms part of these Terms. Please read it alongside these Terms.

10

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The website is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FortressPoint excludes all liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of the website, including reliance on any content, any unavailability of the website, any viruses or harmful code affecting your device as a result of using the website, or any third-party websites we link to.

FortressPoint is not liable for any indirect, consequential, or special loss including loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of business even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

11

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. We will post the updated Terms on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the website after an update means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept the changes, please stop using the website.

For significant changes, we will do our best to provide more prominent notice.

12

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales — unless you are a consumer located in another jurisdiction with mandatory local law protections, in which case those protections remain unaffected.

If you access the website from Nigeria, you do so voluntarily under English law, but nothing in these Terms removes any rights you have under mandatory Nigerian law.
