# Server & Cloud in Ottawa

Cloud services for Ottawa and the National Capital Region — migrations, Microsoft 365, Azure and backups, delivered remotely by Amen Security. Ottawa–Gatineau is home to federal suppliers and consultancies, the Kanata tech cluster, associations and non-profits — many working in both English and French.

Firms that sell to government face security clauses, bilingual documentation expectations and, for defence work, the new Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC).

Ontario businesses fall under PIPEDA; teams on the Gatineau side also deal with Quebec’s Law 25, which adds privacy-officer, impact-assessment and breach-register obligations. Canadian cloud regions are preferred when data residency matters.

## FAQ

### We have staff in both Ottawa and Gatineau — can you handle Ontario and Quebec rules?

Yes. We document controls against PIPEDA and Quebec’s Law 25 together, and our team works in English and French, so policies and user support match both sides of the river.

### Can our data stay in Canada?

Yes, where the service allows it: we prefer Microsoft’s Canadian regions and document where each dataset is stored.

### How long does a migration take?

It depends on data volume and users; the timeline is written into the plan after the free assessment.
