Cybersecurity for Canadian financial services
Canadian financial institutions face nation-state, organized crime, and insider risk on top of the most demanding regulatory environment in the economy. We deliver 24/7 monitoring and response aligned to OSFI B-13 expectations and the way Canadian financial teams actually operate.
Why financial services is different
Whether you are a federally regulated bank, a provincially regulated credit union, or a growing fintech, the bar for cyber risk management is rising. OSFI B-13, provincial regulators, payment networks, and your own customers all expect demonstrable controls. We help you meet those expectations and detect the attacks the controls are meant to stop.
What we see hitting financial services hardest
Account takeover and credential abuse
Stolen credentials drive most material losses. We monitor authentication patterns, MFA fatigue activity, and post-login behaviour for the signals that distinguish an attacker from a customer.
Third-party and vendor risk
Core banking platforms, payments processors, and SaaS vendors create concentration risk. We help monitor the integrations and identities that traverse them.
Ransomware and operational disruption
A successful ransomware event is now a regulatory event. We detect intrusion early and coordinate response in a way that meets OSFI incident-reporting expectations.
Insider risk and unauthorized access
Privileged access to customer information and money movement makes insider activity uniquely damaging. We help build the monitoring and segregation that catches abuse without slowing legitimate work.
What you have to satisfy
OSFI Guideline B-13
Federally regulated financial institutions must manage technology and cyber risk to the standard B-13 sets — including monitoring, incident management, and third-party risk.
OSFI cyber incident reporting
OSFI expects material incidents to be reported on a tight timeline. We help detect, classify, and document incidents in a way that supports those obligations.
Provincial regulators (credit unions, fintech)
Provincial regulators set parallel expectations for non-federal institutions. We help align your program so a single security investment satisfies multiple bodies.
PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25
Customer data triggers privacy obligations across Canada. Quebec Law 25 in particular has reset the penalty exposure for any institution holding Quebec residents' personal information.
