Resitek uses a layered cybersecurity approach that covers every attack surface in your business. This includes endpoint detection and response (EDR), email security and anti-phishing filters, multi-factor authentication enforcement, next-generation firewalls, 24/7 security monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and employee security awareness training. For Toronto and Montreal businesses handling sensitive client data, we also assist with compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and privacy laws under PIPEDA. 

 If you suspect a breach, the first step is containment: isolate affected systems from your network immediately to prevent the attack from spreading. Then contact your IT or cybersecurity provider — Resitek clients have a dedicated incident response line available around the clock. Do not attempt to investigate or restore systems yourself, as this can destroy forensic evidence. We handle containment, root cause analysis, remediation, and regulatory notification if required under Canadian privacy law. 

 Yes. Canadian businesses — particularly mid-market companies in major centres like Toronto and Montreal — are increasingly targeted by ransomware groups because they often have valuable data but less mature security defenses than large enterprises. According to the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, ransomware is the most disruptive form of cybercrime affecting Canadian organizations. For mid-sized businesses in the GTA, our Toronto cybersecurity checklist for 2025 outlines the essential protections you need in place. RESITEK  helps businesses implement ransomware-resistant backup strategies, endpoint hardening, and rapid detection protocols to minimize risk and recovery time. 

 Yes. We help Toronto and Montreal businesses navigate a range of compliance frameworks, including PIPEDA, Quebec's Law 25, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and industry-specific requirements for financial services.  Resitek provides gap assessments, policy documentation, and ongoing compliance monitoring as part of our cybersecurity services. 

Most cybersecurity frameworks recommend a formal security assessment at least annually, with vulnerability scans conducted quarterly or monthly depending on your risk profile. For growing businesses in Toronto and Montreal that are adding employees, changing vendors, or adopting new technology, we recommend a reassessment any time there's a significant change to your environment. Resitek includes ongoing vulnerability management and periodic risk reviews in our managed cybersecurity plans. 

 The most common mistake we see among Toronto and Montreal mid-market companies is assuming that cybersecurity is only a concern for large enterprises. In reality, mid-sized businesses are often the most targeted because they hold significant data but invest less in security than larger organizations. Other frequent gaps include no multi-factor authentication, unpatched software, weak backup strategies, and employees who haven't received phishing awareness training. Resitek's security assessments routinely uncover 5–10 critical vulnerabilities in businesses that considered themselves "secure."
