IT Compliance That Holds Up When It Matters
We align regulated professional services firms across Western Canada to the compliance frameworks their sector demands – built into every environment we manage, maintained continuously, and ready for scrutiny at any point.
Why IT Compliance Is a Bigger Risk Than Most Businesses Realize
For accounting, legal, insurance, and financial services firms, compliance is an ongoing obligation that touches every system, user, and piece of client data in your environment.
Most Organizations Don’t Know What They Don’t Know
On average, new clients arrive non-compliant on more than half the controls in your 200-point assessment standard. Those gaps have typically been present for years – accumulating exposure the whole time.
Regulatory Scrutiny Is Increasing
PIPEDA obligations, PCI requirements, and sector-specific data governance standards are being enforced more rigorously across Western Canada. The assumption that SMBs won’t attract regulatory attention is no longer a safe one.
Non-Compliance Carries Real Consequences
A compliance failure triggers client notification obligations, regulatory penalties, and the kind of reputational damage that takes years to recover from – consequences that far outweigh the cost of getting the environment right in the first place.
Compliance Obligations Extend Into the Cloud
Many businesses assume their cloud environment is compliant by default. It isn’t. Microsoft 365, Azure, and SaaS applications all require deliberate configuration to meet PIPEDA and sector-specific requirements.

Compliance Built Into the Environment
We don’t treat compliance as a standalone project. It’s built into how we configure, manage, and report on every client environment – applied consistently, reviewed regularly, and ready for audit at any point.
Government-Grade Standards
Our compliance framework was built to meet the requirements of Alberta’s municipal governments – among the most demanding in the province. Every commercial client benefits from that same documented standard.
CIS Framework Alignment
Every client environment is assessed and managed against the CIS cybersecurity framework – a recognized, evidence-based standard that goes well beyond what most IT providers deliver as default.
PIPEDA and PCI Compliance
Privacy and payment compliance obligations are built into how we configure every environment – not treated as add-ons or addressed only when a client asks.
Compliance Doesn’t Drift
We review and update compliance configurations continuously – so your environment stays aligned to current standards as regulations evolve, and nothing quietly falls out of alignment while no one is looking.
Audit-Ready Reporting
We provide regular compliance reporting so your leadership team always has a clear, accurate picture of where the environment stands – and the documentation to support it if an auditor asks.
AI Readiness and Compliance
A properly governed, compliance-aligned environment is also the foundation for AI adoption. We build both outcomes into every engagement – so compliance work today positions your business for what’s on the horizon.

What Our IT Compliance Service Covers
Every element of our compliance service is built into the environment from the start – not managed as a separate workstream or addressed reactively.
200-Point Compliance Assessment
A comprehensive review of your entire environment measured against our CIS-aligned standard – every gap identified, every risk named, and a remediation plan prioritized by regulatory exposure.
PIPEDA Privacy Compliance Management
Configuration and ongoing management of your environment to meet PIPEDA obligations – covering data classification, retention policies, access controls, and breach notification readiness.
PCI Payment Compliance
Full configuration and management of PCI DSS requirements for organizations handling payment data – maintained continuously, not reviewed annually and forgotten in between.
Data Governance & Classification
Managed through Microsoft Purview – ensuring sensitive client data is properly classified, governed, and protected across every system in your environment.
Sector-Specific Compliance Configuration
Compliance requirements tailored to the specific obligations your industry carries – accounting, legal, insurance, and financial services firms each face distinct regulatory demands that a generic framework doesn’t fully address.
Ongoing Compliance Monitoring & Reporting
Continuous monitoring of your compliance posture with regular reporting – so leadership always knows where the environment stands, and nothing drifts off course between review cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
The IT compliance questions we’re asked most by Alberta’s regulated professional services firms.
Which compliance frameworks do you align to?
Our standard is built around the CIS cybersecurity framework, with specific coverage for PIPEDA, POPA, and ATIA privacy obligations and PCI payment compliance. For regulated professional services firms, we also address sector-specific requirements – accounting, legal, insurance, and financial services each carry distinct obligations that a generic framework alone doesn’t fully cover.
How do you identify our current compliance gaps?
Through our 200-point environment assessment, conducted as part of every new client engagement. Most clients arrive non-compliant on more than half the controls in our standard. We identify every gap, name it clearly, and build a prioritized remediation plan – so nothing is left drifting unaddressed.
How do you keep our environment compliant as regulations change?
Compliance is built into how we manage every environment on an ongoing basis. We monitor regulatory developments, review configurations regularly, and update your environment as standards evolve. You’ll always have current compliance reporting available, and nothing changes without your leadership team being informed.
Does compliance configuration cover our cloud environment?
Yes. Cloud environments require deliberate compliance configuration – and most organizations discover they’re not as compliant as they assumed. We configure and manage your Microsoft 365, Azure, and Entra ID environments to meet PIPEDA and sector-specific requirements, and we cover SaaS backup and data governance through Microsoft Purview as standard.
