BA Consulting is a Canadian cybersecurity company based in Toronto, protecting businesses across the GTA against the threats that actually target them today; ransomware, phishing, business email compromise, and the compliance risks that come with handling sensitive data.
We’re not a general IT shop that added cybersecurity as an afterthought. Security is core to how we design, deploy, and manage every environment. Our engineers hold curren
Real security catches threats at every door, from the firewall to the inbox to each laptop. A single antivirus will not do it. Here is how we build the wall.
Layered defense across email, endpoints, network, and backup. Combined with tested recovery capabilities for the situation nobody wants to think about.
MFA is the single highest-impact security control most businesses can deploy. We roll it out properly across email, cloud services, VPN, and critical applications with the user training and support that makes it stick.
Comprehensive assessments against recognized frameworks with prioritized recommendations you can actually act on.
Advanced filtering that catches what Microsoft 365's defaults don't: business email compromise attempts, invoice fraud, spoofed domains, credential harvesting.
Modern endpoint security that catches behavioral threats traditional antivirus misses. Automated isolation of compromised devices before they spread.
Next-generation firewalls, network segmentation, VPN infrastructure, and monitoring configured properly, not just installed.
Around-the-clock monitoring of your security events with real analyst review, not just automated alerts.
Regular phishing simulations and training modules for your team, because most breaches start with a user click.
Cybersecurity intersects with regulatory obligations for many industries.
PIPEDA: Canada’s federal privacy law applies to nearly every business. We help clients meet safeguard requirements, achieve breach-notification readiness, and implement access-request procedures.
PHIPA:Â Ontario’s health privacy law for medical clinics, dental offices, and healthcare providers. We deploy compliant access controls, audit logging, and encryption.Â
LSO practice directives on technology competence: Â Ontario lawyers now have specific requirements for technology competence. We help law firms document and demonstrate compliance.
CPA data retention: Accounting firms have specific requirements for data retention and access control.
PCI DSS:Â Any business processing credit card data has PCI compliance obligations.
Cyber insurance requirements: Most insurers now require MFA, endpoint detection, tested backups, and incident response plans as conditions of coverage.

Proactive monitoring, help desk, and on-site IT support at a flat monthly rate.

Book a cybersecurity assessment with our local security team. We audit your firewall, email security, MFA coverage, backup integrity, and remote access setup. You receive a prioritized written report with plain-language findings and fixed pricing for every recommended improvement.
Almost certainly yes. Traditional antivirus catches known threats; it's largely blind to modern behavioral attacks, ransomware variants, and business email compromise. Cybersecurity today is a layered approach. Antivirus alone leaves large gaps.
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) analyzes behavior rather than just matching against known threat signatures. It catches novel attacks that antivirus misses, includes monitoring by security analysts, and can automatically isolate compromised devices before they spread across your network.
Yes. Even with strong security, incidents happen and the costs of incident response, forensic investigation, legal fees, business interruption, and regulatory response add up quickly. We help clients meet insurer requirements so they can actually qualify for coverage.
Continuous is best. Quarterly phishing simulations plus short monthly training modules keep security top-of-mind without training fatigue. Annual all-hands training alone doesn't move the needle.
Yes; Toronto-based, with Canadian-based engineers, Canadian data hosting, and PIPEDA-compliant operations.
