  • 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (Huntress MDR)
  • Endpoint Detection and Response (SentinelOne)
  • Email security hardening and anti-phishing
  • MFA enforcement & access controls
  • Vulnerability scanning and patch management
  • PIPEDA/PHIPA compliance readiness

24/7 Managed Detection and Response

Fusion deploys Huntress MDR across all endpoints for continuous threat monitoring. Every alert is triaged by human analysts — not just automated rules — with defined escalation paths and response SLAs. St. Catharines businesses get 24/7 coverage without hiring a SOC team.

Endpoint Protection and Patch Management

SentinelOne provides AI-driven endpoint detection and response across all workstations and servers. Fusion manages patching on a documented schedule, with compliance reporting that satisfies auditors and insurance carriers. Unpatched systems are the most common entry point for attackers.

Compliance and Cyber Insurance Readiness

Fusion maps your security posture to CIS Controls v8.1 and provides the documentation, technical controls, and evidence that PIPEDA, PHIPA, and cyber insurance carriers require. MFA enforcement, backup verification, incident response plans — all built into every engagement.

Stat: 83% of Canadian SMBs that experienced a ransomware attack had no incident response plan in place. Mechanism: Without a documented IR plan, recovery time extends from hours to days — increasing data loss and operational downtime. Outcome: Fusion builds and tests incident response plans for every St. Catharines client, aligned to CIS Controls v8.1, so your team knows exactly what to do when an incident occurs.

Cybersecurity Pricing in St. Catharines

Fusion charges $170 to $250 per user per month for cybersecurity services in St. Catharines. Pricing depends on user count, compliance requirements, and scope. No hidden fees, no per-incident surcharges — one predictable monthly cost covers 24/7 MDR, endpoint protection, email security, compliance documentation, and incident response.

Why St. Catharines Businesses Choose Fusion for Cybersecurity

Most businesses that come to Fusion for cybersecurity do it after a scare — a phishing email that nearly succeeded, a ransomware demand, or an insurance renewal that doubled because they couldn’t demonstrate basic controls. The pattern is consistent: the previous provider had antivirus and a firewall, but no documented framework, no incident response plan, and no way to prove compliance to an insurer or auditor.

Fusion’s security leadership holds active CISSP certification — the industry standard for cybersecurity professionals. Every engagement is aligned to CIS Controls v8.1, giving your business a documented, auditable security posture. Huntress MDR provides 24/7 human-analysed threat monitoring. SentinelOne delivers AI-driven endpoint protection. The result is enterprise-grade security at a price point built for St. Catharines businesses with 10 to 150 employees.

Fusion is Canadian-owned and has operated since 2012. Your data stays in Canada. Response times are defined in your service agreement, not left to chance. When St. Catharines businesses need cybersecurity that actually works — not just a sales pitch — they call Fusion.

Stat: Phishing accounts for 67% of all cybersecurity breaches in businesses under 250 employees. Mechanism: A single compromised credential gives an attacker access to email, file shares, and financial systems — often before anyone notices. Outcome: Fusion deploys MFA enforcement, email security hardening, and monthly phishing simulations for St. Catharines businesses to close the gap attackers exploit most.

What Fusion Clients Actually Say

“I got the call no business owner wants — our systems were locked and there was a ransom demand on every screen. I called Fusion in a panic at 9pm on a Friday. They had someone working on it within the hour. By Monday morning our team walked in, sat down, and got back to work like nothing happened. Every file recovered. No ransom paid.”

Sandra M. — Business Owner, GTA

“Within the first week of Fusion’s onboarding, they found unpatched servers, no working backups, and admin credentials that hadn’t been changed since 2019. It was genuinely alarming. Fusion fixed all of it in the first 30 days and built us an actual security baseline.”

Derek K. — Partner, Professional Services Firm
