Risk Consulting
We assess your cybersecurity risk landscape with structured evaluations that highlight threats, vulnerabilities and risk priority so your security activities match your business goals.
Asset and Data Visibility
We help you get a complete and accurate inventory of systems, networks applications and data. Full visibility is needed to protect what is most important.
Identity and Access Management Services
We secure access to your systems and data with identity management solutions that control who can log in and what they can do. This reduces unwanted access and improves compliance.
This set of services helps you act quickly when a threat occurs.
Incident and Breach Response
When your environment is compromised, responding fast is essential. We help contain threats, examine the impact and guide your team through remediation to reduce disruption.
Adversary Simulations
We simulate real world attacks to test your defenses and response readiness. These exercises help you find gaps and improve detection and response capabilities.
We support your recovery process after an incident to restore operations and validate system integrity. This service includes restoration planning, backup validation and improvement of recovery procedures to reduce downtime and strengthen resilience.
This service area focuses on program development and structured security planning.
Cybersecurity Program Development
We help you build a security program that aligns with your business goals, regulatory requirements and industry best practice. This work includes creating cybersecurity policies, governance roles, performance measures and compliance planning so your security efforts are organized, practical and defensible.
Businesses and organizations in Ottawa face unique cyber challenges shaped by the city’s role as Canada’s capital and a growing technology hub:
Ottawa organizations — especially those supplying services to government — are high-value targets for sophisticated threat actors including nation-states. Federal contractors, consultancies, and professional service firms that handle government data face elevated risk of targeted intrusion, supply chain attacks, and espionage-motivated breaches.
Ottawa businesses working with the federal government must navigate ITSG-33, Protected B data handling, and Controlled Goods Program obligations. Meeting these frameworks alongside day-to-day operations is a major challenge for organizations without dedicated security staff.
Ottawa’s large public sector community has embraced hybrid and remote work, expanding attack surfaces through home networks and personal devices. Organizations need strong identity controls, endpoint protection, and secure remote access policies to manage this risk effectively.
Many Ottawa businesses rely on subcontractors, managed service providers, and cloud vendors. A security weakness in any third party can expose the entire organization — particularly critical for government contractors who must ensure their supply chain meets federal security standards.
Ottawa-based financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and federal contractors must comply with PIPEDA, OSFI Guideline B-13, and sector-specific regulations. Non-compliance can result in regulatory penalties, contract loss, and reputational damage.
Ottawa is home to The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO, and leading research organizations. These institutions handle highly sensitive patient and research data increasingly targeted by ransomware groups and data extortion actors. Robust data classification, access controls, and incident response planning are essential.
