Security Audits for Canada Companies

SERVICE DETAIL

Why Canada Companies Choose ClickMasters

Security Audits for Canada companies requires understanding of the Canada regulatory environment and market context. Canadian companies benefit from the SR&ED tax credit programme for eligible R&D work, and must comply with PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, and CASL for any application that collects personal information or sends commercial electronic messages. ClickMasters implements Canadian privacy compliance and provides SR&ED technical documentation for qualifying engagements. The Canada software development market offers two primary options beyond ClickMasters: domestic agencies (Toronto and Vancouver rates of CAD 150-250/hour for senior engineers) and large offshore shops (typically Indian or Eastern European with mixed quality and significant timezone friction). ClickMasters sits between these in both cost and quality: senior engineering at CAD 85-130 per hour equivalent, with Canadian privacy law expertise, GMT-4 to GMT-7 timezone overlap availability, and fixed-price contracts.

AWS account security assessment: IAM audit (root MFA, no long-lived access keys, IAM Access Analyzer), network security (VPC security groups any SGs open to 0.0.0.0/0 on non-standard ports? DB accessible from internet?), S3 security (public access block, bucket policies), encryption audit (RDS/EBS/S3 encryption, Secrets Manager vs hardcoded), monitoring (CloudTrail all regions, CloudWatch alarms, GuardDuty enabled, Security Hub), AWS Trusted Advisor security checks.
