⚠ 2 critical gaps require immediate review

CanadaSecure Reviewed

The problem is already here. It's affecting businesses like yours. Most of them didn't see it coming.

73%
of Canadian SMBs have experienced a digital incident
61%
have been targeted by phishing scams
52%
don't believe they're a target — the incident data says otherwise
22%
have cyber insurance — insurers are now asking why the rest don't

Sound familiar?

Most business owners don't call it a security problem.

They describe what actually happened. Does any of this sound like your last six months?

Someone tried to get into our email.

This usually means a credential from a data breach is circulating. We check whether your staff logins have been compromised without anyone knowing.

We got a fake invoice that appeared to come from us.

A misconfigured email domain lets anyone send messages that look like they came from your address. It takes less than 15 minutes to set up if your domain has no protections in place.

A staff member clicked something suspicious.

Without the right email controls, one click can open the door. We assess how exposed your team is and how easy it would be for an attacker to get in through a staff mistake.

Our insurer asked security questions we couldn't answer.

Insurers are adding security requirements to renewals. Businesses that can't document basic controls are seeing premiums rise — or coverage denied.

A prospective client asked how we protect their data.

Mid-size clients and regulated industries increasingly ask vendors about data handling before they sign. Not having a clear answer is a sales problem, not just a security one.

I'm not sure if our Microsoft 365 is actually set up securely.

Most M365 tenants have weak sharing settings, missing MFA policies, or over-privileged accounts. The defaults are not secure. Most businesses have never changed them.

These are the moments that bring businesses to CanadaSecure. We give you a clear picture of what is actually going on — and a prioritized plan to fix it before the next one.

Free diagnostic. Clean findings. Plain-English recommendations.

The Process

From uncertainty to a clear plan.

Four steps. Defined timeline. No disruption to your operations.

01

A free call — no pitch, no pressure

We learn about your business, your systems, and what has been worrying you. 15–30 minutes. We recommend the right assessment tier based on what we hear — or tell you honestly if it's not the right fit yet.

02

We do the work. You run your business.

Our review is remote. No software to install, no access to your building, no IT team involvement required. We work through external data sources and a structured intake — your day is unaffected.

03

A report you can actually act on

Plain English throughout. Every finding has a risk label, a clear description of the business impact, and a specific recommended fix. No padded PDFs, no technical filler.

04

A session so nothing is left unclear

We walk through the report together. You ask questions. We make sure you leave knowing exactly what to do first — and what can wait. Included with every assessment.

What Clients Say

Real situations. Real findings.

The businesses that come to us are not in crisis. They just want to know where they stand before something goes wrong.

Healthcare

A staff member left in a hurry last year and we realized we had no idea which accounts they still had access to. CanadaSecure found four that should have been deactivated — including one with access to our booking system and patient records. The report was clear enough that I handled the fixes myself in a couple of hours.

Practice Manager, North York Family Clinic

Law

At our cyber insurance renewal this year, the broker asked about MFA policies, remote access controls, and email authentication settings. We had to say we didn't know. CanadaSecure gave us documented answers for everything they asked and we renewed without any problems. I wish we had done it a year earlier.

David R.

Managing Partner, Richmond Hill Law Group

Accounting

Every tax season we get more convincing scam emails — some pretending to come from us, some from CRA. I finally had CanadaSecure look at our email setup and they found that anyone could send email from our domain. We had no idea. The fix was simple once someone knew what to look for.

Who We Serve

Built for the businessesscammers target most.

Healthcare, legal, accounting, financial services, and real estate firms all hold high-value data and money flows. That makes them attractive targets — and clients who benefit most from a clear, documented picture of where they stand.

Healthcare & Clinics

Patient records are the most valuable thing a scammer can steal.

One compromised staff account — a booking login, a billing portal, a shared inbox — can expose hundreds of records and trigger a mandatory breach report. Patient trust takes years to build and one incident to lose.

Law Firms

One email scam during a closing can cost your client everything.

Business email scams targeting real estate transactions and trust account transfers are well-documented in Canada. Confidentiality is not just a professional obligation — it extends to every digital system your firm depends on.

Accountants & CPAs

You have the keys to your clients' financial lives. Scammers know that.

You hold CRA credentials, banking access, and financial records for dozens of clients. During tax season, scammers specifically target accounting firms because they know your clients trust messages that appear to come from you.

Real Estate Brokerages

Wire fraud in property transactions is documented and growing in Canada.

Scammers intercept closing instructions and redirect funds before anyone realizes something is wrong. Verified communication workflows and secure email practices are now a baseline expectation, not a premium feature.

Financial Services & Mortgage

You handle trust accounts, SINs, and banking credentials every day.

Mortgage brokers and small financial firms deal with identity documents and sensitive financial information for every client they onboard. Your inbox is one of the highest-value targets in the professional services world.

Professional Services

Your next enterprise client will ask about your security before they sign.

Growing consulting firms and agencies increasingly receive security questionnaires from larger clients. A documented assessment gives you an honest answer — and keeps a data breach from undoing a relationship you spent years building.

The Deliverable

A report you'll
actually use.

Your assessment report is written for the person who runs the business — not the IT team. Every finding is explained in plain English, with a clear description of the business impact and a specific recommended fix.

The Microsoft 365 example below is from a real assessment format. Seven issues found in one tenant alone — none of which the client knew existed.

  • Executive summary written for business owners, not IT teams
  • Risk scored per category with plain-English business impact descriptions
  • Fixes ranked by impact — most important actions listed first
  • A review session included with every paid assessment

FAQ

Questions before you book?

These are the questions we hear most often on discovery calls. If yours isn't here, just ask.

Book a free discovery call

We're a small business. Are we actually a target?

Small businesses are targeted specifically because they hold valuable data and money flows but often have fewer controls than larger firms. 73% of Canadian SMBs have experienced a digital incident. The assumption that being small means being invisible is one of the most common — and costly — mistakes we see.

We already have IT support. Isn't that enough?

IT support and a security assessment serve different purposes. Your IT provider keeps systems running day-to-day. A CanadaSecure assessment gives you an independent outside view of where you're exposed — including areas your IT provider may not be monitoring or may have assumed were already handled. Most IT contacts welcome it.

Does this require access to our systems or an on-site visit?

No on-site visit is required. Our assessments are conducted remotely. For the Essential tier, we work entirely from external data sources. For higher tiers, we'll ask for some configuration details from your team — nothing that requires physical presence or disruptive access.

What do I actually get at the end?

A plain-language report with every finding described in terms of business impact — not technical severity. A prioritized list of fixes ranked by what matters most. And a review session where we walk through the report together so you leave knowing exactly what to do first.

Is this a certification?

No. CanadaSecure assessments are structured reviews with defined deliverables. They are not ISO 27001, SOC 2, or any government certification. The Trust & Readiness tier includes guidance on communicating your security posture to clients and insurers — including trust-page guidance — but this reflects a completed assessment, not a formal third-party certification.

We've never thought about this before. Where do we start?

That's the most common situation. The discovery call is free and there's no obligation. We'll ask about your business, your systems, and what worries you. Then we'll recommend the right assessment tier — or tell you honestly if it's not the right time.
