Industry Challenges
The threat landscape is aggressive and growing. Ransomware groups target construction firms precisely because project deadlines create enormous pressure to pay — a locked-out general contractor facing $50,000/day in liquidated damages doesn’t have weeks to negotiate. Business email compromise attacks redirect progress payments and change orders to fraudulent accounts. And intellectual property theft — proprietary designs, structural engineering calculations, bid documents — can eliminate competitive advantages on multi-year procurement cycles. PIPEDA applies to employee and subcontractor personal information, provincial privacy legislation governs project data for public-sector contracts, and major project owners increasingly require cybersecurity attestations from contractors and subcontractors as a pre-qualification requirement.
How we Protects Construction & Engineering Organizations
Co-Managed IT & RMM
Construction firms have distributed, temporary sites with IT that head office can’t physically reach. Our co-managed model extends your IT team with remote monitoring and management across every job site: endpoint visibility for field laptops and tablets, patch management for devices on cellular hotspots, and 24/7 support that keeps Procore, PlanGrid, and Bluebeam running from trailer to head office.
Backup & Replication
Ransomware groups target construction firms because liquidated damages of $25K–$100K/day create pressure to pay. We eliminate that leverage with immutable, air-gapped backups of project data, financial systems, and BIM repositories — with tested recovery procedures and RTOs aligned to your most critical project deadlines. Your data recovers in hours, not weeks.
MDR & SOC
Our SOC monitors construction environments 24/7: BEC attempts targeting progress payments, anomalous access to project management platforms, data staging from BIM/CAD repositories, and the specific lateral movement techniques ransomware groups use to escalate from initial access to enterprise-wide encryption.
Network Security
Your head office has a firewall. Your job sites have a cellular hotspot. We secure multi-site connectivity with encrypted site-to-office tunnels, zero-trust network access that verifies device health before granting access to project management and financial systems, and mobile device management that keeps project data off personal devices when someone leaves mid-project.
