CyberSafe provides 24/7 SOC monitoring, managed security, penetration testing, compliance consulting and security staff augmentation to organizations in Toronto and across Ontario. We work with financial institutions, technology companies, healthcare providers and public bodies that need security operations they can rely on.
Services are delivered remotely from our West Vancouver headquarters and 24/7 SOC, which has operated since 2016, with on-site engagements available when you want us in the room. 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.

Toronto threat and compliance landscape
Toronto is Canada's financial centre, which makes its organizations a steady target for ransomware, fraud, credential theft and third-party compromise. Banks, insurers, asset managers, fintechs and their suppliers all face attackers who follow the money and the data.
Federally regulated financial institutions are guided by OSFI Guideline B-13 on technology and cyber risk management, and many suppliers inherit those expectations through contracts. Ontario organizations also work under PIPEDA, the Personal Health Information Protection Act in healthcare, and customer demands for SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS evidence. Our work turns these obligations into concrete controls, monitoring and evidence.
Industries we support in Toronto
Financial services is the anchor of Toronto's economy, and we support banks, insurers and fintechs with monitoring, testing and OSFI B-13 aligned gap analysis. We also work with technology companies, healthcare providers and public sector bodies across the region.
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 Toronto 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 Toronto?
CyberSafe has one office, at our West Vancouver headquarters. Toronto clients are served remotely from there and from our 24/7 SOC, and on-site work in Toronto is available for workshops, onboarding, tabletop exercises and testing engagements when needed.
Can you help with OSFI B-13 requirements?
Yes. Our consultants run gap analyses against OSFI Guideline B-13 and related frameworks, build remediation roadmaps and provide virtual CISO support. Our SOC and offensive security teams supply the monitoring and testing evidence that supports your technology and cyber risk program.
Can you run penetration testing for Toronto 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 Toronto.
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.
