Industries We Serve
Deep expertise in the sectors where cybersecurity risk matters most.
We work with organizations in regulated and high-stakes industries where the cost of a security failure — financial, reputational, or regulatory — is simply too high to accept.
01
Financial Institutions
Meeting the security expectations of OSFI, FINTRAC, and your board.
Canadian banks, credit unions, insurance companies, and other federally and provincially regulated financial institutions operate under some of the most demanding cybersecurity expectations in the country. OSFI's B-13 guideline, FINTRAC compliance obligations, and increasing board-level scrutiny have raised the bar significantly.
How we help
We help financial institutions build governance frameworks that satisfy OSFI expectations, develop board-ready risk reporting, and establish third-party risk programs that meet regulatory scrutiny — all without vendor conflicts.
Key challenges
- OSFI B-13 Technology and Cyber Risk Management guideline compliance
- Board and senior management cybersecurity accountability and reporting
- Third-party and supply chain risk management at scale
- Cyber resilience and operational continuity requirements
- Evolving threat landscape targeting financial sector infrastructure
02
Fintech & Payments
Security governance that keeps pace with rapid growth.
Fintech companies and payment processors face a unique challenge: they must move fast to compete, while managing the security and compliance obligations that come with handling financial data and transactions. Regulatory expectations are catching up quickly.
How we help
We help fintech companies build security programs that are right-sized for their stage, PCI DSS compliant, and positioned to scale — giving founders, boards, and investors confidence in their security posture.
Key challenges
- PCI DSS compliance and payment security program development
- Security governance that scales with rapid product and team growth
- Regulatory readiness as oversight of fintech intensifies
- Third-party and API security risk management
- Building investor and partner confidence through security maturity
03
Technology Companies
Security as a competitive advantage, not just a cost centre.
Technology companies — from SaaS providers to enterprise software vendors — increasingly face security scrutiny from enterprise customers, partners, and regulators. Security is no longer just an internal concern; it is a market requirement.
How we help
We help technology companies build security programs that satisfy enterprise customer requirements, support compliance certifications, and position security as a differentiator — not a bottleneck.
Key challenges
- Customer security questionnaires and enterprise sales requirements
- SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other compliance framework readiness
- Cloud and SaaS security governance
- AI and machine learning security governance
- Security program development for growth-stage companies
04
Mid-Market Enterprises
Enterprise-grade security counsel without the enterprise overhead.
Mid-market organizations face enterprise-level cyber threats but rarely have the internal security resources to match. They need practical, right-sized security guidance from advisors who understand their constraints — not frameworks designed for Fortune 500 companies.
How we help
We provide mid-market organizations with practical, proportionate security advisory that addresses their real risks, satisfies cyber insurance requirements, and builds board-level confidence — without unnecessary complexity.
Key challenges
- Limited internal security expertise and resources
- Increasing cyber insurance requirements and premiums
- Supply chain and vendor risk exposure
- Ransomware and business email compromise threats
- Board and executive security awareness and governance
05
Regulated Industries
Navigating complex compliance obligations with confidence.
Healthcare organizations, energy companies, government contractors, and other regulated entities face sector-specific cybersecurity requirements layered on top of general privacy and security obligations. Compliance is necessary but not sufficient — real security requires more.
How we help
We help regulated organizations navigate their specific compliance landscape, prepare for regulatory examinations, and build security programs that go beyond checkbox compliance to deliver genuine risk reduction.
Key challenges
- Sector-specific regulatory compliance (healthcare, energy, government)
- Privacy legislation compliance (PIPEDA, provincial health privacy laws)
- Critical infrastructure protection requirements
- Audit readiness and regulatory examination preparation
- Balancing compliance obligations with operational security needs
