Proudly Canadian Markham, Ontario
A Canadian consultancy for small businesses, enterprises and defence suppliers. We find what is actually exploitable, fix what actually matters, and hand your auditors the evidence — so the business ships.
We reply to every assessment request within one business day.
You need a position you can hold in front of a board, an auditor and a regulator — with the numbers behind it.
You need reproduction steps, not a severity colour. Scope you helped set, and a tester who will get on a call about it.
Not a list of features. The specific thing that is true on the day we finish, and was not true on the day we started.
A scanner export with three hundred findings and no owner.
A prioritised list of what is actually exploitable, each fix scoped in engineer-hours.
An audit date, and evidence collected by hand the week before it.
Evidence collected by a system, so the audit window is a query rather than a fire drill.
A policy suite written to pass an audit, not to be followed.
Controls your team already operates, because they helped design them.
Controlled information spread across the estate, so the whole estate is in scope.
An enclave small enough that the assessment is affordable.
A cloud estate whose security posture is a residue of how the migration happened.
Guardrails in policy-as-code, and a named owner for every account in the estate.
Awareness training run once a year, because the certificate expires once a year.
A reporting rate that rises quarter over quarter, measured against real lures.
A finding marked closed on trust.
A closure letter that cites the original finding ID, ready for the audit file.

Every engagement starts from a trigger you already have — an audit date, a customer questionnaire, an incident, a bid. You buy the line that matches it. A twenty-person firm and a defence prime need the same nine things; only the scope differs.
We attack your systems the way a funded adversary would, then hand you the exact path they took — with a fix for every step of it.
Cloud adoption moved faster than the governance around it. We assess what you have actually deployed, close what migration left open, and leave you with an operating model that survives the next migration.
A simulation everybody passes has taught you nothing. We run campaigns calibrated to what is actually being sent to your sector, and report the click as a process problem rather than a person problem.
Most incidents begin with a reasonable person doing a reasonable thing at the wrong moment. We train for that moment — role by role — rather than for the annual compliance tick.
The worst time to design your response is during one. We build and rehearse the plan while nothing is on fire.
An information security management system your business can actually operate — built for certification, not for a binder.
Type I to prove design, Type II to prove operation. We get you through both without stalling the roadmap.
The Canadian Programme for Cyber Security Certification is becoming a condition of doing business with DND. We get suppliers ready early.
CMMC 2.0 decides whether you can bid. We take defence suppliers from scoping to assessment-ready.
Something started this: an audit date, a customer questionnaire, an incident, a funding round. We scope to that trigger, not to a template, so you are not paying for coverage you did not need.
Manual testing and control assessment run in parallel. Every finding arrives with reproduction steps, business impact, and the artifact your auditor will ask for.
Two readouts, same week. The executive briefing covers residual risk and budget. The engineering readout covers the packets. Neither is a translation of the other.
We stay in your tracker while fixes land — pairing with your engineers where it is faster than writing another ticket. Fixes are re-tested at no cost.
You keep the runbooks, the risk register, the evidence pipeline and the tooling. A good engagement ends with you needing us less.
Most SOC 2 pain in year two is not control failure. It is the cost of collecting evidence by hand, every quarter, forever.
1 min readInsecure direct object references are the most common high-severity finding we report. The usual fix — swapping IDs for UUIDs — does not actually fix it.
2 min readThe largest cost driver in a CMMC engagement is not the controls. It is how much of your environment you let into scope.
