What's included

Cybersecurity services

01

Security assessment

A review of your website, email, accounts and devices, with a clear report and a priority list.

02

Website hardening

Updates, login protection, a firewall and removal of exposed files.

03

Email security

SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up so nobody can send email pretending to be you.

04

Account protection

Two-step sign-in and password managers for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

05

Backup and recovery plan

Tested backups and a plan, so ransomware or a mistake isn't a disaster.

06

Hacked website clean-up

Malware removed, the way in closed, and your site restored.

07

Staff awareness

Short, practical training to spot phishing emails and scam calls.

08

Privacy basics

How customer information is collected, stored and protected, in line with Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA).

Security work is done only with your written permission and an agreed scope.

  • Staff share passwords or don't use two-step sign-in
  • You've had a hacked site, a phishing scare or spoofed email
  • You store customer information and want it handled properly

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Don't see your question? Ask us

Is my small business really a target?

Yes. Most attacks are automated and look for easy targets, so being small doesn't keep you off the list.

What does a security assessment include?

A review of your website, email setup, accounts and passwords, backups and devices, with a written report and a priority list of fixes.

My website was hacked. Can you help?

Yes. We remove the malware, close the way in, restore clean files and add protections so it doesn't happen again.

What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

Email settings that prove your messages really come from your business. They stop scammers sending email in your name and help your emails stay out of spam folders.

Will you test our systems without permission?

Never. All security work is done only with your written permission and an agreed scope.
