The stakes in 2025
A Canadian data breach now averages CA$6.98 million.
Up from CA$6.32M in 2024. Financial services, industrial, and pharmaceutical breaches run higher. Most Canadian SMBs don’t recover from a seven-figure incident, which is why 24/7 monitoring and fast containment matter more than any single product.

Top cybersecurity threats facing Canadian businesses
What managed cybersecurity services include
24/7 MDR and EDR Monitoring
Huntress and SentinelOne XDR run on every endpoint. A real analyst reviews each alert before it reaches you. No noise to sort through. Odd behaviour gets caught and stopped fast.
Email Security and Phishing Protection
Most breaches start with an email. We block phishing, spoofing, and fake links with DMARC, DKIM, and SPF plus real-time scanning. Email security is part of every engagement.
Identity and Access Management
Multi-factor authentication on every account. Conditional Access for Microsoft 365. KeeperSec for password and secrets management. When someone leaves, their access dies that day. No orphaned accounts sitting open.
Network Security
Fortinet firewalls, network monitoring, and DNS filtering that blocks bad domains before they reach your team. VPN, remote access, and cloud security for Azure and M365. Reviewed at onboarding and again each quarter.
Want to know which of these apply to your environment?
Vulnerability Management and Pen Testing
Regular scanning inside and out. Findings ranked by what an attacker could actually use, then fixed and verified. Maps to CIS Controls v8.1, NIST CSF, and CyberSecure Canada. Standalone or as step one of a managed programme.
Incident Response
When something goes wrong, you need a plan that already exists. Our incident response services spell out who does what, how fast, and what gets escalated. After an incident, we run forensics, find the root cause, and close the gap. See it in action: ransomware recovery case study.
Compliance and Reporting
We map your controls to CIS Controls v8.1, NIST CSF, CyberSecure Canada, SOC 2, PIPEDA, and PHIPA. Monthly security reporting covers what changed, what we fixed, and what’s next. With Bill C-26 adding new rules, being ready now saves you later.
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Immutable and air-gapped backup infrastructure with documented recovery procedures and periodic restore testing. When ransomware hits, the question isn’t if you have backups. It’s how fast they restore and whether the attacker can reach them.
How managed cybersecurity works
According to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach in Canada reached CA$6.98 million. For businesses under 500 employees, a single incident can threaten survival. According to CIRA’s 2025 Canadian Cybersecurity Survey, 24% of Canadian organisations were ransomware victims in the past 12 months.

Who leads the programme
Mike Pearlstein, CISSP
CEO and CISO at Fusion Computing. CISSP (ISC2) with an MSc in Computer Science focused on AI. Mike runs client security reviews personally, sets the CIS Controls v8.1 baseline every Fusion client inherits, and signs off on every incident response plan.
Why Canadian businesses choose Fusion for cybersecurity
According to CIRA’s 2025 survey, 56% of Canadian organisations reconsidered U.S.-based providers, and 69% named data sovereignty as a top consideration when selecting cybersecurity partners.
CISSP Leadership
Your programme is led by a CISSP who knows what auditors, insurers, and regulators expect.
Canadian Data Sovereignty
All operations stay in Canada. Canadian-owned since 2012, PIPEDA-aligned, built for firms that won’t send data south of the border.
500+ Canadian Businesses Protected
Fusion has supported 500+ Canadian businesses since 2012 with managed cybersecurity. 4.9 stars on Google. 93% first-contact resolution on security issues.
Detection Over Prevention
We don’t promise prevention. We run 24/7 detection and response, pairing AI-driven alerts with human analysts who make the call.
“The assessment found an admin account with domain-level rights that hadn’t been used in four years but was still active. One phishing email away from a full breach. We never would have caught that on our own.”
Mark S., CFO, Professional Services Firm
Compliance frameworks we support
We map your controls to each framework and close gaps with documented policies, technical controls, and audit-ready evidence.
Primary framework
Private-sector privacy
Risk management
Federal certification
Service org controls

What managed cybersecurity costs
For a typical Canadian business with 25 to 100 users, managed cybersecurity services range from $30 to $80 per user per month on top of managed IT. Total per-user costs including IT and security typically fall in the $180 to $200+ range. What you pay depends on team size, setup complexity, and compliance needs.
“I’ve done post-incident reviews for six companies this year alone where the breach started with a compromised vendor credential. Not a zero-day, not a sophisticated attack. A vendor whose password hadn’t been rotated in three years. That’s what we fix first.”
