Managed cybersecurity for small and mid-sized Ontario businesses: behaviour-based endpoint detection and response on every device, 24/7 monitoring, identity and access hardening in Microsoft Entra, phishing and email defence, and a written, exercised incident response plan. The control set is deliberately built to satisfy what Canadian cyber insurers now require, because those requirements are a reasonable floor and failing them has an immediate dollar consequence.
What is included
- Behaviour-based EDR on every endpoint and server, with 24/7 monitored response
- Microsoft Entra identity hardening: MFA enforcement, conditional access, legacy auth disabled
- Email security, DMARC enforcement and advanced phishing and attachment filtering
- Security awareness training with phishing simulation and retained records
- Immutable, segregated backups with documented quarterly restore tests
- Written incident response plan, exercised annually rather than filed and forgotten
Questions people ask
Is antivirus not enough any more?
No, and your insurer already agrees. Signature-based antivirus is no longer accepted by Canadian underwriters, who now require behaviour-based EDR or XDR on 100 percent of endpoints. If your renewal questionnaire asks about EDR coverage and you are running traditional AV, that is a failed control.
We are small. Are we really a target?
Targeting is mostly automated and indiscriminate. Statistics Canada found 16 percent of Canadian businesses were hit by a cyber security incident in 2023, and 13 percent of those involved ransomware. Small businesses are attractive precisely because the controls are usually weaker.
