Montreal is Canada's second-largest city and a major hub for fintech, aerospace, artificial intelligence and gaming. The city hosts the headquarters of major financial institutions, defence contractors and technology companies that process sensitive personal and corporate data. Quebec's Law 25 (formerly Bill 64) introduced stringent privacy requirements that exceed federal PIPEDA in several areas, including mandatory privacy impact assessments, breach notification timelines and data portability obligations. Montreal organizations must navigate both provincial and federal privacy requirements while defending against the same cyber threats targeting enterprises across Canada. Sherlock Forensics brings penetration testing, incident response and digital forensics expertise to Montreal's diverse economy.
Montreal Cybersecurity
Quebec's Unique Compliance Landscape
Quebec Law 25 Compliance
Law 25 modernized Quebec's privacy framework with requirements that in many respects exceed federal PIPEDA. Organizations must conduct privacy impact assessments before deploying systems that process personal information, notify the Commission d'acces a l'information within 72 hours of a breach and implement technical safeguards proportional to the sensitivity of the data they handle. Penetration testing and security assessments demonstrate compliance with Law 25's requirement for reasonable security measures.
Montreal Fintech Security
Montreal's financial technology sector includes payment processors, digital banking platforms, insurance technology companies and cryptocurrency exchanges. These organizations handle payment card data subject to PCI DSS, personal financial information governed by Law 25 and transaction data that attracts sophisticated cybercriminals. We provide penetration testing that addresses both the technical attack surface and the regulatory compliance requirements specific to Quebec's financial sector.
Aerospace and Defence
Montreal is the third-largest aerospace hub in the world, home to major manufacturers, component suppliers and maintenance organizations. These companies handle controlled technical data, intellectual property and supply chain information that nation-state actors target. Our penetration testing helps aerospace companies identify vulnerabilities in their corporate IT environments, engineering workstations and supply chain integration points.
Bilingual Incident Response
Montreal organizations operate in both English and French. During a security incident, clear communication with all stakeholders is critical. Sherlock Forensics produces technical deliverables in English and coordinates with bilingual incident response teams, legal counsel and management throughout the engagement. Our incident response methodology adapts to the bilingual operating environment of Montreal enterprises.
