• Business Continuity

You bought Microsoft O365 so you wouldn’t stress about IT security. So why do you leave the back door open?

You assumed that migrating your business to the cloud meant security was taken care of. But out of the box, cloud settings are generic defaults.

Your emails, client financials, and proprietary contracts are protected by rules and protocols that set incorrectly, will leave your company vulnerable to wire fraud, ransomware, and silent data theft.

Do you pass these 8 business continuity checks

  • When an employee leaves, do they lose access instantly?
  • Are logins from foreign countries blocked automatically?
  • How well do you track computers, users, passwords and licences?
  • If your server crashed, would you be operational tomorrow?
  • Are your staff actively trained on fraud and phishing?
  • Is confidential client data and IP leaking into public AI?
  • Are company-level passwords kept safe but also accessible?
  • Do you have a written plan for a major system breach?

Here’s what GOOD Cyber security looks like

“Surely Microsoft O365 handles all this for us?”

No. Under Microsoft’s “Shared Responsibility” model, they keep the servers on. But enforcing passwords, locking out hackers, and backing up data is entirely your legal responsibility.

1. Hardening Security on Cloud SaaS

We lock your business systems strictly to Canada and your approved operating locations. If a cybercriminal tries logging into your company email from overseas, they are stopped at the door automatically. 

2. Two-Factor Authentication on Login

A password is a single point of failure. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a dual-key vault. Even if they have a password, the criminal still needs real-time approval via another device. MFA is essential on company email and cloud storage, network entry points and key systems like accounts and payroll. Crucially, we lock down the setup process itself.

3. Fast Onboarding & Offboarding Support

Former employees are a serious risk. We implement a give new hires safe access on Day 1, and instantly revokes corporate access as someone leaves the company.

4. On-site and Off-site Backups

Protect your company against ransomware, fire, physical theft, or cloud outages. We can set up and maintain isolated, encrypted backups of both software and data so you can restore operations in hours.

5. Disaster Readiness & Compliance
  • The Cyber Incident Response Plan: We write and provide a step-by-step emergency playbook.
  • We map out your backup architecture and create a step-by-step plan on how backups are restored in an emergency.
  • AI Policy and AI Usage Guidelines. We define enforceable guardrails so you can leverage modern tools without feeding confidential IP into public AI models.
  • A Network Usage Policy to inform every employee, and provide legal recourse.
6. Private Local AI

Get the massive productivity benefits of AI without the privacy risk. We deploy private AI tools running entirely inside your business. Your staff can summarize long legal contracts and analyze financials knowing zero data ever leaves your control.

7. Phishing Simulation Training

Your team is your first line of defense. We run routine, safe simulations that train your staff to recognize sophisticated email scams before money or data leaves your bank account.

8. Safe “work from anywhere” VPN Architecture

Give remote executives and staff fast, seamless access to internal files and software from anywhere in the world—without exposing your network.
