IT Services for Manufacturing in Eastern Ontario

Absolutely. Compliance is built into our approach for defense contractors. We conduct gap assessments against NIST 800-171 requirements, implement required security controls, document your System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), create policies and procedures, and prepare you for C3PAO assessment (for CMMC). We will also support CPCSC compliance for Canadian defense suppliers and can help you get ready now. We provide ongoing compliance management to maintain your certification.

We will review your specific carrier requirements, then implement and document the necessary security controls. This typically includes multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, email security, encrypted backups, incident response plans, and security awareness training. We provide assessment reports and documentation that underwriters need to approve coverage and determine premiums.

We implement network segmentation to separate your business IT from operational technology. This segmentation is critical for both compliance and cyber insurance requirements.

Yes. We help you specify, source, and deploy hardware that meets both your operational needs and security requirements.

We ensure all hardware is properly configured, secured, and integrated into your environment with proper supply chain security verification.

Yes. We assess your current environment—including legacy systems that may be critical to production—and make strategic improvements where they'll have the biggest impact, without unnecessary disruption to operations. We also help you plan lifecycle replacements for equipment that poses security risks.

We prioritize manufacturing emergencies understanding that system downtime directly impacts production schedules and revenue. During business hours, we aim for a response within 15 minutes for critical issues affecting production systems or business operations. Our 24/7 security monitoring often catches and resolves problems before they impact your facility. For after-hours emergencies, we provide emergency contact information to key personnel.

We implement multiple layers of protection including network segmentation, endpoint detection and response, data loss prevention, encrypted file storage and transfer, privileged access management, audit logging, and monitoring for suspicious activity. We also help you implement proper access controls so only authorized personnel can access sensitive designs and proprietary information. These controls protect against both external attacks and insider threats.

Yes. While most support is delivered remotely, we provide on-site visits for manufacturers in Kingston, Belleville, Brockville, Ottawa, and surrounding communities. For critical production issues or compliance assessments, we prioritize rapid on-site response.
