# Cybersecurity in Ottawa

Cybersecurity services for Ottawa and the National Capital Region — delivered remotely by Amen Security. 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.

We start with the controls that cut real risk the most — identity, email, endpoints and backups — before any expensive tooling.

## 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.

### Do you run penetration tests in Ottawa?

We start with baseline controls and a risk assessment; penetration testing is scoped separately when it adds real value.

### Do you give legal privacy advice?

No. We implement and document the technical controls and work alongside your legal counsel on legal obligations.
