Cybersecurity in New Westminster
Protecting the Royal City's healthcare sector, legal firms and historic business district.
Sherlock Forensics provides cybersecurity services in New Westminster, BC, including penetration testing starting at $1,500 CAD, incident response, digital forensics and healthcare security assessments. The firm serves New Westminster's healthcare organizations, legal community and businesses from its nearby offices in Burnaby and Coquitlam.
New Westminster is home to major healthcare facilities including Royal Columbian Hospital, one of BC's busiest trauma centres, along with a dense concentration of legal firms near the New Westminster Law Courts. These sectors handle some of the most sensitive data in British Columbia, from patient health records to privileged legal communications. A security breach in either sector carries severe regulatory, financial and reputational consequences. Sherlock Forensics brings healthcare-specific security expertise and forensic capabilities to New Westminster organizations that cannot afford to treat cybersecurity as an afterthought.
New Westminster Security
Cybersecurity for the Royal City
Healthcare Under Siege
Healthcare is one of the most targeted sectors for cyberattacks in Canada. The Royal Columbian Hospital area and New Westminster's network of clinics, specialist offices and health services organizations manage patient data that ransomware groups actively seek. A single breach can disrupt patient care, trigger mandatory privacy breach notifications under BC PIPA and result in regulatory sanctions. We provide penetration testing and incident response designed for the unique constraints of healthcare environments where system availability is literally a matter of life and safety.
Legal Sector Security
New Westminster's proximity to the BC Supreme Court and Provincial Court makes it a hub for law firms handling civil litigation, criminal defence and family law. These firms hold privileged communications, case strategies and sensitive client data that make them high-value targets. We work with New Westminster legal practices on digital forensics for litigation support, penetration testing of case management systems and incident response when breaches threaten solicitor-client privilege.
Historic Business District
New Westminster's revitalized business district along Columbia Street and the waterfront hosts professional services firms, financial advisors and small businesses that increasingly depend on cloud services and digital operations. Many of these businesses lack dedicated IT security staff and rely on managed service providers. We help New Westminster's business community assess their security posture and address vulnerabilities before they become incidents.

Why Local Cybersecurity Matters
On-Site Forensic Collection

Court Testimony at New Westminster Law Courts
The New Westminster Law Courts house both Provincial Court and BC Supreme Court. Ryan Purita provides expert witness testimony at these courts on digital forensics and cybersecurity matters. Having a local examiner who understands BC's evidentiary requirements reduces preparation time and costs for legal teams.
BC Healthcare Compliance
Healthcare organizations in New Westminster must comply with BC's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), the BC Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) for public health authorities, and federal PIPEDA. Our incident response and forensic services include breach notification guidance specific to these provincial requirements.
