Frequently asked questions

Is a 20-person SMB really a target?

Yes. Most cyberattacks are automated and opportunistic, they target vulnerable systems, not specific companies. SMBs are particularly exposed because they usually have fewer defenses than large enterprises.

How much does a security audit cost?

An initial audit for an SMB with 20-50 endpoints typically costs CA$1,500-4,000. The report includes a security score, prioritized risks and an action plan with budget estimates.

Are we required to comply with Law 25?

Any Quebec business that collects, uses or discloses personal information is subject to Law 25. We help identify your obligations based on size and activities.

What happens if we experience a security incident?

Under our monitoring contract, we detect and isolate the incident, preserve evidence and execute your response plan. For full cybersecurity clients, a senior technician is available 24/7 for critical incidents.
