Canadian Cybersecurity

What Canadian Cybersecurity does

Canadian Cybersecurity Inc. is a privately held, Vancouver-based management consulting firm founded in 2018 by Michael Leung, operating as a solo practice that delivers cybersecurity advisory services to Canadian businesses and organizations. The firm is organized around two service pillars: Risk Management (executive and board guidance, governance framework development, cybersecurity posture and risk assessments, compliance navigation, cyber insurance review, budgeting consultation, and virtual CISO services) and Strategy & Tactics (security architecture and design, security operations, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, secure code review, phishing awareness exercises, incident response and crisis management, cyber-breach retainer, and digital forensic investigations). A cloud-based, multi-language Learning Management System supports employee cybersecurity awareness training delivery.

The underlying technology footprint is intentionally lean: a cloud-hosted LMS for awareness training plus the standard tooling expected of a boutique cybersecurity consultancy. There are no proprietary AI/ML systems, APIs, SDKs, or software products disclosed, and the firm does not publish patents or trademarks. The revenue model is professional services, quote-based and scope-driven, delivered through direct, founder-led enterprise engagements with executive leadership, boards, and IT/risk teams.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales rooted in trusted-advisor relationships. The firm does not list named customers and does not publish pricing. Delivery capacity is augmented by an on-demand network of strategic partner practitioners rather than full-time employees. The firm explicitly states openness to new strategic partnerships with practitioners and specialized firms whose values and ethics align with its ISACA and ISC2 Code of Ethics commitments. Marketing relies on LinkedIn, Twitter, and website content; there is no evidence of paid acquisition, channel partnerships, or institutional investment.
