Look for certified practitioners (such as CISSP or ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor), experience in your sector and with the standards you must meet, vendor independence, a clearly scoped proposal with defined deliverables, and references. Ask how findings will be prioritized and how knowledge will be transferred to your team.
Start with the controls that stop most attacks: multi-factor authentication, timely patching, tested offline backups, phishing awareness training, least-privilege access and an incident response plan. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security's baseline controls for small and medium organizations are a good starting point.
Yes. We run gap assessments, readiness reviews and internal audits against standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, NERC CIP, ITSG-33 and PCI-DSS, and help you build the evidence and practices auditors look for.
Yes. We deliver instructor-led workshops, hands-on labs, security awareness sessions and CISSP exam preparation, on-site or online, designed by practitioners who teach cybersecurity at Ontario colleges.
Yes. We start from your risks, regulatory obligations and operations, not from a template. We design a security framework and methodology tailored to your organization, map it to the standards you need to meet, such as ISO/IEC 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ITSG-33 or NERC CIP, and phase the roadmap to fit your budget and team.
A practical four-step approach. Identify: critical assets, systems and their dependencies. Assess: threats and risks across IT and OT. Plan: a prioritized, phased roadmap against your requirements and risk. Implement: hands-on support for implementation, testing and evidence, so improvements last. We scale the depth of each step to the size and complexity of your organization.
