What our cybersecurity service covers

The same stack as our cybersecurity services across Ontario, run for Guelph businesses by a Guelph team.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR)

Software on every computer and server that watches how programs behave and can stop an attack in progress. Included in the Professional and Complete managed IT plans.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement

A second sign-in step required for the accounts that matter, with exceptions found and closed. Included in the Professional and Complete plans.

Email security and anti-phishing

Filtering for phishing and impersonation attempts, plus security awareness training with simulated phishing so your team knows how to spot and report threats.

Backups and recovery

Automated backup, on-site and in the cloud, with restores tested regularly. Backups are included in every ClayGen managed IT plan.

Dark web monitoring and incident response

Alerts when your company email addresses or domains appear in leaked credentials, and a documented incident response plan so the first hour of an attack is not improvised.

Compliance support and cyber insurance help

Compliance support for PIPEDA, PHIPA, and PCI-DSS and cyber insurance readiness help are part of the Complete plan. We also help with the insurer questionnaire itself.

Every plan includes patching and automated backups. Which controls sit in which plan is laid out on the managed IT plans page.

Why a local Guelph team

Most security work happens remotely, and that is fine. But incidents are physical events too: a compromised machine that needs isolating, network equipment that needs replacing, a team that needs walking through what just happened. ClayGen's office is in Guelph, so when you need someone on-site, we can usually be there within 1 to 2 hours, depending on location.

Local also means we know the city's business mix, from agri-food and manufacturing to health care and professional services, and you deal with people you can meet. For what to look for in any provider, read our guide to choosing a cybersecurity company in Guelph.

Compliance: PIPEDA and PHIPA

Businesses that hold personal information in Ontario have privacy obligations under PIPEDA, and health care practices also fall under PHIPA. The technical side of meeting them is access control, encryption, backups, retention, and documentation that stands up to review. That is what our compliance support covers, and it is part of the Complete plan. We do IT, not law: we do not give legal advice, and your lawyer decides what the law requires of your organization. For more, see IT compliance and cyber insurance application help.

What it costs

We deliver security through flat per-user managed IT plans. Managed IT in Ontario typically runs $100 to $250 per user per month depending on what is included, with no per-incident charges, and we confirm your exact rate in writing after a free IT assessment.
