SECURITY & COMPLIANCE

Security architecture, not security theater

Security policy and strategic implementation, with managed services through verified MSP/MSSP partners, including SOC 2 certified pen testing. Strategy and handoff, not vendor lock-in.

What we do

Security policy and strategic implementation, with managed services delivered through our verified MSP/MSSP partners.

MSSP : Managed Security Service Provider MSP : Managed Service Provider

Antivirus and a firewall aren't protection, any more than a first aid kit is health. Modern threats require behavioral detection, monitoring, and proactive testing.

We handle security policy, compliance strategy, and implementation design, then hand off day-to-day managed services to verified MSPManaged Service Provider — a company that runs day-to-day IT for other businesses./MSSPManaged Security Service Provider — an outsourced team focused on security monitoring and response. partners, including Threatmate for SOC 2 certified penetration testing.

We design the architecture and coordinate dedicated partners for ongoing managed services.

Penetration Testing

Real adversary simulation, not repackaged vulnerability scans.

  • SOC 2 Type II partner
  • External, internal, web app
  • Social engineering tests

Managed Detection & Response

Threats caught and handled around the clock.

  • 24/7 human SOC
  • Behavioural detection
  • Automated response, human oversight

Security Posture Assessment

A full evaluation, not a checklist exercise.

  • Endpoint, email, network
  • Access controls, backups
  • Incident readiness

Email Security & Anti-Phishing

91% of cyberattacks start with phishing.

  • Sandboxing, DMARC/DKIM/SPF
  • Business email compromise
  • Training beyond annual videos

Compliance Frameworks

Controls that satisfy auditors without drowning your team.

  • PCI DSSPayment Card Industry Data Security Standard — the security rules for any business handling card payments., SOC 2, PIPEDA
  • Quebec Law 25 and CCPA
  • Scoped to what applies

Incident Response Planning

An untested plan is a plan that won't work.

  • Documented procedures
  • Tabletop exercises
  • Clear roles under pressure

The security stack

Every layer of a defensible security program, and where we stand on each.

Security is bought one product at a time and breached one gap at a time. This is how we think about the whole, and the tools we reach for at each layer.

Layer 01 of 09

Identity and access

Who can get in, from where, and how that changes when people join, move or leave.

We work with
  • Microsoft Entra ID
  • Okta
  • Duo
  • JumpCloud
  • 1Password
  • Bitwarden
Our position

MFA everywhere, single sign-on wherever it is supported, and a joiner-mover-leaver process that HR actually follows. Most incidents we see start with a credential, not an exploit.

Layer 02 of 09

Endpoints and devices

Laptops, desktops, phones and servers, and what runs on them.

We work with
  • Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
  • CrowdStrike
  • SentinelOne
  • Huntress
  • Intune
  • Jamf
Our position

Detection and response with humans behind it over signature antivirus. Device management is part of endpoint security, not a separate IT project, and unmanaged devices do not reach company data.

Layer 03 of 09

Email and collaboration

Still the front door for most attacks.

We work with
  • Microsoft Defender for Office 365
  • Proofpoint
  • Mimecast
  • Abnormal Security
  • DMARC, DKIM and SPF
Our position

DMARC enforced, detection layered on top of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and people trained on the phishing they will actually receive rather than a generic module.

Layer 04 of 09

Network and access to systems

How offices, remote staff and vendors reach internal systems.

We work with
  • Cloudflare Access
  • Tailscale
  • Fortinet
  • Palo Alto Networks
  • Cisco Meraki
  • Ubiquiti
Our position

Zero-trust access replaces the all-or-nothing VPN for most organizations. Firewalls stay, but the perimeter is identity, and third-party access is scoped and time-limited.

Layer 05 of 09

Cloud and SaaS posture

The configuration of the tenants and platforms you already run on.

We work with
  • Microsoft Defender for Cloud
  • Wiz
  • AWS Security Hub
  • Google Security Command Center
  • CIS Benchmarks
Our position

Misconfiguration outnumbers exploits. We baseline Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS and Azure against CIS benchmarks, alert on drift, and treat SaaS admin settings as production.

Layer 06 of 09

Data protection and backup

What happens to your data at rest, in transit, and after something goes wrong.

We work with
  • Veeam
  • Datto
  • Druva
  • Microsoft Purview
  • BitLocker
  • FileVault
Our position

Backups that are immutable, off-site and restore-tested on a schedule, because a backup you have never restored is a hope. Encryption is a default; classification only where it drives a decision.

Layer 07 of 09

Detection and response

Who is watching at 3 a.m., and what they are allowed to do.

We work with
  • Microsoft Sentinel
  • Splunk
  • Elastic Security
  • Huntress
  • Managed SOC via Threatmate
Our position

Around-the-clock monitoring by analysts through a SOC 2 Type II partner, with an incident response plan your leadership has rehearsed. Tooling without people is a log, not a defence.

Layer 08 of 09

Vulnerability management and testing

Finding weaknesses before someone else does, and closing them.

We work with
  • Tenable
  • Qualys
  • Rapid7
  • Manual penetration testing
  • Social engineering assessments
Our position

Scanning on a cadence, real adversary testing at least yearly, and remediation tracked to closure. A scan report is not a penetration test, and we will say so.

Layer 09 of 09

Governance and compliance

The frameworks your customers, insurers and regulators recognise.

We work with
  • SOC 2
  • ISO 27001
  • PCI DSS
  • NIST CSF
  • CIS Controls
  • PIPEDA and Law 25
  • Vanta
  • Drata
Our position

Frameworks are a map, not the territory. We pick the one your market recognises, implement the controls that reduce real risk first, and keep evidence continuous rather than a scramble every audit season.

Who this is for

Businesses that need security beyond antivirus and strong passwords.

No Dedicated Security Team

No full-time CISO? Enterprise-grade protection without the enterprise headcount.

Compliance Requirements

Contracts, insurers or regulators pushing for formal compliance? Practical controls without the overhead.

Post-Incident or Near-Miss

A breach, a near miss, or security that is just antivirus? We close the gaps with real defences.
