Cybersecurity compliance services built for Ontario SMBs.
Four focused service areas — no helpdesk, no managed IT. Every engagement produces clear, audit-ready deliverables that move your security posture forward.
Service / 01
ISO 27001 Gap Assessment Toronto
ISO 27001 is the global standard for information security management — and increasingly a requirement for winning enterprise contracts in Toronto. Our gap assessment tells you exactly where you stand and what to fix first.
We map every clause and Annex A control against your current policies, procedures, and technical environment, delivering a risk-ranked remediation roadmap your team can act on immediately.
- ✓Full review of policies, procedures, and controls
- ✓Gap analysis mapped to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A
- ✓Risk-prioritized remediation roadmap
- ✓Clause-by-clause compliance scorecard
- ✓Executive summary report
- ✓Post-assessment advisory call
Ideal For
Toronto and Ontario organizations preparing for ISO 27001 certification or needing to prove compliance to enterprise clients and procurement teams.
What You Walk Away With
A board-ready gap report with a clear, prioritized action plan — the exact controls you need to address, and in what order.

Service / 02
Cyber Insurance Readiness Assessment
Underwriters across Ontario are tightening requirements. Businesses that cannot demonstrate MFA, endpoint protection, tested backups, and incident response planning are being denied or facing sharp premium increases.
We evaluate your posture against current underwriting criteria, close the gaps, and prepare you to walk into the insurer conversation with confidence and documentation.
- ✓Security posture review vs. insurer questionnaire criteria
- ✓MFA, EDR, backup, and access control gap identification
- ✓Evidence pack preparation for underwriters
- ✓Prioritized remediation with quick wins
- ✓Application narrative support
Ideal For
Ontario SMBs applying for new cyber insurance, renewing policies, or responding to insurer audit questionnaires and struggling to demonstrate required controls.
Why This Matters
A denied claim or coverage exclusion can be devastating for an SMB. Our readiness work ensures you are not just insured on paper, but positioned to make a successful claim.

Service / 04
Fractional CISO & vCISO
Most Ontario SMBs cannot justify a CA$220,000+ full-time CISO hire, but still need experienced security leadership. Our vCISO retainer fills that gap.
We act as your embedded security executive on a flexible monthly retainer — building your program, managing risk, and representing security at the leadership level.
- ✓Monthly strategic security advisory sessions
- ✓Security policy and procedure development
- ✓Risk register management and treatment planning
- ✓Vendor and third-party risk oversight
- ✓Board and executive reporting
- ✓Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
Ideal For
Growing Toronto and Ontario SMBs that need ongoing strategic security leadership without a full-time hire.

Your vCISO owns security governance, drives your compliance roadmap, and keeps leadership informed.

Common Questions
Choosing a service, answered.
Which service should I start with?
Most organizations start with the ISO 27001 Gap Assessment or the Cyber Insurance Readiness Assessment — both establish a clear baseline. On the discovery call, we’ll recommend the right starting point for your specific goal, whether that’s certification, an insurance renewal, or a cloud migration.
Do you work with businesses outside Toronto?
Yes. While headquartered in Toronto, we deliver every service remotely to SMBs across Ontario and Canada, with on-site options available in the GTA.
How long does an engagement typically take?
A gap assessment or readiness review is usually delivered in 2–3 weeks. A Security Architecture Review timeline depends on environment complexity. vCISO engagements run as an ongoing monthly retainer with no fixed end date.
