Cybersecurity for Canadian construction & trades
Construction runs on tight margins, big payments, and a web of subcontractors — exactly what fraudsters and ransomware crews exploit. We help Canadian builders protect project data, payments, and operations without slowing the job down.
Why construction and trades is different
Construction firms move large sums between owners, contractors, and subcontractors, often over email and on lean IT — a perfect setup for payment-redirection fraud and ransomware. Add bid data, drawings, and a sprawling supply chain, and the attack surface is wide. Our managed detection and response protects the office and the field.
What we see hitting construction and trades hardest
Payment-redirection fraud (BEC)
A spoofed email changing wire details can divert a progress payment worth six figures. We detect the account compromise and mailbox manipulation behind these scams early.
Ransomware halting projects
Locked schedules, drawings, and accounting systems can stall a project and its whole subcontractor chain. We catch the early activity before ransomware detonates.
Subcontractor and supply-chain compromise
Every partner with access to your systems or shared project tools is a potential entry point. We monitor the boundaries and identity activity between you and them.
Bid and project data theft
Competitors and criminals value your estimates, drawings, and client lists. We detect anomalous access to that data before it leaves.
What you have to satisfy
PIPEDA
Handling employee and client personal information brings mandatory breach-reporting obligations under federal privacy law.
Owner and contract security requirements
Public and large private owners increasingly require specific safeguards to bid or stay on a project. We help you meet and document them.
Cyber insurance underwriting
Insurers now expect MFA, EDR, tested backups, and incident response before they will cover construction firms. We deliver and document all four.
