Cyber security services for Canadian businesses

Cyber security built for how attacks actually happen in Canada

Most breaches do not start with a genius. They start with a reused password, an unpatched plugin, a convincing invoice email or a contractor’s laptop nobody offboarded. Canada Create™ runs cyber security the way attackers run attacks: we look for the cheapest way in, prove it, close it, and then keep watching. That is the difference between a security program and a folder of policies.

We work with two kinds of clients. Small and mid-sized businesses that have outgrown “the IT guy handles it” and need a real security posture without a six-figure security team. And enterprises and regulated organizations in healthcare, finance, legal, government, energy and SaaS, where a breach means regulator notification, litigation exposure and lost contracts, and where the board wants evidence, not assurances.

What our cyber security services cover

Each service below is a standalone engagement with its own scope, deliverables and written quote. Most clients start with an audit or a penetration test to see where they stand, then move to managed security so the gaps stay closed.

Penetration testing and red team

Authorized attacks on your web applications, external network, internal network, cloud accounts, Wi-Fi and people. Our penetration testing services follow recognized methodologies, exploit what we find (with your approval), and deliver a report your developers can act on and your auditors can file. Red team engagements go further: a goal, a time window, and no warning to your defenders, so you learn whether your detection and response actually work.

Managed security services (MDR and SOC)

Round-the-clock monitoring of endpoints, identities, email and cloud, with a human analyst who investigates alerts and contains threats before they spread. Managed security services include managed detection and response, vulnerability management, dark web monitoring for leaked credentials and a monthly report written for owners and executives, not just technicians.

Cyber security audit

A structured review of controls, configurations, access, backups, vendors and policies against a recognized framework such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001 or CIS Controls. The cyber security audit ends with a scored gap report and a prioritized roadmap, which is usually what insurers, enterprise customers and boards ask for first.

Risk assessment

Where the audit checks controls, the cyber security risk assessment ranks what would actually hurt: which systems, which data, which failure modes, and what each is worth to the business. It gives leadership a risk register with likelihood, impact and treatment decisions, and it satisfies the risk assessment clauses in PIPEDA guidance, PHIPA, PCI DSS and SOC 2.

Security awareness training and phishing simulation

Your people are the most attacked surface you have. Security awareness training pairs short, role-based sessions with realistic phishing simulations, measures who clicks and who reports, and turns the results into a quarterly improvement plan that regulators and cyber insurers recognize.

Compliance: SOC 2, PCI DSS, PIPEDA, PHIPA and more

If you sell to enterprises, process cards, hold health records or handle personal information, compliance is a revenue requirement. Our cyber security compliance consulting takes you from gap assessment to evidence collection to audit readiness for SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, PIPEDA, PHIPA, Quebec Law 25 and OSFI expectations, with policies your team will actually follow.

Website security

Websites are the most exposed asset most companies own, and WordPress sites are attacked constantly. Website security services cover hardening, web application firewall, malware removal and cleanup, monitoring and secure managed hosting, so the site that brings in your leads is not the door an attacker walks through.

Cyber security for small business

A fixed-scope program for companies with 5 to 100 staff: the controls that stop the common attacks, set up properly, monitored and reported. Cyber security for small business is priced for owners, quoted in writing and designed to satisfy the security questionnaires your larger customers now send.

Who we work with

Highly regulated industries are where security work is measured most strictly, and it is where we do our best work. Healthcare providers and clinics subject to PHIPA and provincial health privacy law. Law firms with client confidentiality obligations and law society guidance on technology competence. Accounting, wealth management, mortgage and insurance firms answerable to OSFI, FINTRAC, provincial regulators and their own clients. Manufacturers and logistics companies where ransomware stops the line. Municipal and public sector organizations with procurement-driven security requirements. SaaS and technology companies that cannot close an enterprise deal without a SOC 2 report. Nonprofits and associations that hold donor and member data on lean budgets. And retail, e-commerce and hospitality businesses handling payment cards under PCI DSS.

How an engagement runs

Every cyber security engagement starts with a scoping call and a written proposal within one business day. We agree on what is in scope, what is out, rules of engagement for any testing, and what evidence you need at the end. Testing and assessment work is scheduled around your business hours where it could affect operations. Findings are delivered in two forms: a technical report with reproduction steps and fixes, and an executive summary that a board, an insurer or a customer’s procurement team can read. Remediation support is included in the quote, not billed as a surprise. Managed services then run on a monthly agreement with a named contact you can call any time, day or night, on +1 (800) 808-9235.

Why Canada Create™ for cyber security

We have built, hosted and defended websites and digital systems for Canadian businesses since 2008, which means we understand the systems we are securing from the inside: WordPress and custom web applications, e-commerce platforms, CRMs, cloud tenants, email and the marketing stack that touches customer data every day. Security work that ignores how the business actually operates gets bypassed within a month. Ours is built around it.

We are BBB Accredited with an A+ rating and zero complaints. Every fee is quoted in writing before work starts. Our team is reachable 24/7*. And because we also run web development, hosting, CRM and marketing under one roof, the fixes we recommend are fixes we can implement, rather than a report that sits with a vendor who cannot touch the site.

Cyber security pricing

Security scopes vary too much for a menu price. A penetration test of a single web application is a different job from a red team engagement across three offices; a 20-person clinic needs a different program from a 400-seat SaaS company chasing SOC 2 Type II. Tell us what you run and what you need to prove, and you will have a written proposal with a fixed price or a monthly fee within one business day.

Start with the question that matters

If an attacker targeted your company this week, how would they get in, how long would it take you to notice, and what would it cost you? If you cannot answer all three with confidence, start with a cyber security audit or a penetration test. Get a proposal in one business day, or call +1 (800) 808-9235 any time.
