vCISO / Fractional CISO in Ottawa

Ottawa is Canada’s cybersecurity capital and home to OSFI, the CCCS, and the buyers most likely to send you a serious security questionnaire. An Ottawa vCISO engagement gives you a named executive who already speaks that language.

Ottawa ecosystem context

Ottawa is federal-sector tech, defence, and a long-standing cybersecurity ecosystem. The buyers are different from Toronto: longer cycles, more compliance, and ITSG-33 / Protected B / OSFI on every checklist.

Public sector and FRFI work runs through Ottawa. We carry the cybersecurity vocabulary required to talk to TBS, CCCS, and OSFI staff, and to vendors selling into them.

vCISO / Fractional CISO scope

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.

  • Security program ownership: policies, standards, and exceptions
  • SOC 2, ISO 27001, OSFI E-21 / B-13 readiness leadership
  • Vendor and third-party risk management
  • Incident response leadership and postmortem ownership
  • Board, customer, and regulator-facing security reporting

For the full service detail, see the vCISO / Fractional CISO page. For fixed-price productized engagements, see pricing.
