Foundations Pathway

Foundations: Small Business Defense

Practical, cost-effective vulnerability management, Microsoft 365 hardening, and patch hygiene designed specifically for small businesses.

Pragmatic Cyber Defense for Lean Operations

Small and mid-sized businesses face the same threat landscape as large enterprises—including phishing, identity compromise, and ransomware—without the benefit of dedicated internal security operations centers.

  • Essential Hygiene Without Enterprise Bloat: Focused on the highest-impact security controls: locking down Microsoft 365 tenants, enforcing phishing-resistant authentication, eliminating vulnerable software, and managing update cycles.
  • Continuous Endpoint Visibility: Routine vulnerability tracking across workstations and servers to catch zero-days and unpatched software before attackers discover them.
  • Transparent, Predictable Engagements: Tailored service packages designed for Canadian small businesses, accounting firms, law practices, and service providers looking for peace of mind.
