Riskview

What Riskview does

Riskview is a Toronto, Canada-based cybersecurity and responsible AI consulting firm founded in 2012. It serves enterprise and mid-market clients across financial services, healthcare, pharma/biotech, and the public sector, delivering services including AI strategy and governance, AI validation and assurance, AI security and threat management, penetration testing, Zero Trust implementation, fractional CISO, and privacy impact assessments. The firm operates a small core team (1-10 employees, with named consultants Reza Kopaee, Xavier Lesa, Gustavo Garcete, and Behnaz Karimi).

The company's underlying technology stack centers on the proprietary Harmonized Threat Risk Assessment (H-TRA) platform (h-tra.ca), a SaaS-style tool that maps threat risk assessments to NIST 800-30, NIST CSF, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, ISO 27001, and OWASP frameworks. A second product, ThreatView (threatview.ca), provides threat intelligence and monitoring. Methodologies — including an Agile Security Operations Center framework, a six-step Zero Trust implementation, a Cyber Resiliency Assessment, and Enterprise Risk Management — are delivered on Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud with a broad partner ecosystem across security and GRC vendors (CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Splunk, SentinelOne, Okta, ServiceNow GRC, RSA Archer, MetricStream, OneTrust). Riskview's technology stack is presented as a means to standardize and productize its advisory work rather than as a standalone enterprise SaaS business.

Riskview makes money through project-based professional services engagements and presumably through subscription access to the H-TRA platform; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise/field sales supplemented by content marketing (website, LinkedIn, thought-leadership articles on AI and M&A cyber risk) and a soft partner ecosystem. There is no disclosed venture funding, no M&A activity, no public revenue, and the firm operates as an independently held boutique anchored in the Canadian market with stated reach across Canada.
