VCISO for Ontario founders and operators. A vCISO owns your security program: policies, controls, vendor risk, audits, board reporting, and incident leadership. You get a named executive on customer security questionnaires, regulator letters, and the cap table without a $300K+ comp package.
Ontario is the centre of gravity for Canadian tech. The Toronto to Waterloo corridor holds the largest concentration of B2B SaaS, FinTech, and AI companies in the country, and Ottawa adds a completely different buyer: federal departments, defence primes, and the cybersecurity supply chain selling into them. The compliance ask changes with the buyer. Toronto and Waterloo companies get SOC 2 questionnaires from US enterprise procurement. Ottawa vendors get asked about ITSG-33 and CPCSC instead.
This is our home province. We are based in Toronto, so Ontario engagements get the tightest feedback loop we offer, in person when it helps and async when it does not. On the federal side, one thing worth saying before you sign rather than after: we deliver CPCSC Level 1 only, the self-assessed entry tier against ITSP.10.171. If a prime is asking you for a higher, third-party-assessed level, we will tell you that up front.
