CyberSafe provides 24/7 SOC monitoring, managed security, penetration testing, compliance consulting and security staff augmentation to organizations in Montreal and across Quebec. Services can be delivered in English, and we help teams meet obligations under Quebec's Law 25 as well as federal and international standards.
Work is delivered remotely from our West Vancouver headquarters and 24/7 SOC, which has operated since 2016, with on-site engagements available in Montreal when needed. More than 60 security professionals support over 150 clients, and we scope each engagement around your environment, your regulators and the tools you already run.

Montreal threat and compliance landscape
Montreal's technology, financial, healthcare and manufacturing organizations face ransomware, phishing, supply chain compromise and attacks on cloud and remote-access services. Mid-sized organizations are targeted as often as large ones, and many lack a full-time security team.
Quebec's Law 25, which modernized the province's private-sector privacy law, requires governance of personal information, privacy impact assessments, confidentiality incident reporting to the Commission d'accès à l'information and, in some cases, notice to affected individuals. Organizations also work with PIPEDA, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS. Our work turns these obligations into concrete controls, monitoring and evidence.
Industries we support in Montreal
Montreal combines a strong technology sector with financial services, healthcare and advanced manufacturing. We tailor detection use cases, testing scope and Law 25 oriented compliance work to the risks of each, delivering the work in English.
How engagements work
Every engagement starts with a discovery call where we learn your environment, your priorities and any deadlines, such as an audit or product launch. We then scope the work in writing, with clear deliverables, pricing and timelines, so Montreal stakeholders know what to expect.
For managed services, we onboard your log sources and tools into the 24/7 SOC and tune detection before go-live. For testing, we agree a test window and rules of engagement first. You then receive regular reporting, plus a debrief on every finding with clear remediation guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Does CyberSafe have an office in Montreal?
CyberSafe has one office, at our West Vancouver headquarters. Montreal clients are served remotely from there and from our 24/7 SOC, and on-site work in Montreal is available for workshops, onboarding, tabletop exercises and testing engagements when needed.
Can you help with Quebec Law 25 compliance?
Yes. Our consultants assess your security controls and incident response processes against Law 25 expectations, including confidentiality incident handling, and build a practical roadmap. Our SOC supports detection and investigation. Engagements are delivered in English, and legal interpretation stays with your counsel.
Can you run penetration testing for Montreal organizations?
Yes. Our offensive security team performs penetration tests of networks, applications and APIs, plus red team exercises and social engineering. Testing is scheduled in an agreed window, and you receive a report with prioritized findings and a debrief. Testing is delivered remotely or on-site in Montreal.
How quickly can the 24/7 SOC start monitoring us?
Timelines depend on how many log sources and tools are involved. After scoping, we onboard your data sources, tune detection content and agree escalation paths before go-live. We will give you a realistic schedule during the discovery call, rather than a generic promise.
