What Gibraltar Solutions does

Gibraltar Solutions is a Canadian managed services provider headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, founded in 1996, that delivers IT and cybersecurity services to small and mid-sized organizations across six verticals: Accounting, Healthcare, Logistics, Insurance, Legal, and Manufacturing. The company organizes its offering into three practices — Managed Security, Managed Cloud and Infrastructure, and Modern Workplace — and sells primarily to Canadian domestic customers through direct enterprise field sales and inside sales motions with consultative, assessment-led engagement.

The core technology stack is a managed services delivery layer rather than a proprietary product. It combines 24/7 SOCaaS, MDR, SIEM-as-a-Service, managed firewall (with Fortinet FortiGate specialization), vulnerability management, email security, dark web monitoring, and DFIR on the security side, with Azure Cloud Managed Services, Nutanix-powered Managed Private Cloud, IaaS, VDI modernization, and VMware-to-Hyper-V/Azure migrations on the cloud and infrastructure side. The Modern Workplace practice covers Microsoft 365 security, managed desktop, help desk, IT procurement, vCIO advisory, Citrix health services, and Microsoft Copilot readiness and training. Delivery is built on certified expertise across Microsoft (Solutions Partner for Security and Infrastructure), Fortinet, Nutanix, Citrix (Platinum Solution Advisor), and CIS frameworks, with SOC 2 Type II certification as the compliance anchor. Behavioral analytics and process automation are embedded inside SOC and MDR delivery for anomaly detection, alert ranking, and automated response actions.

Revenue is generated through recurring managed services contracts (typically annual) across security, cloud, and workplace, supplemented by one-time professional services such as penetration testing, Azure migration assessments, and billable cybersecurity assessments. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with both complimentary and billable assessments used as funnel entry points. The company employs 40+ IT professionals with 300+ years of combined experience and 200+ certifications, manages 7,000+ workloads, and reports 99% SLA compliance with thousands of resolved incidents and change requests per year. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or disclosed revenue figures appear in the source data.
