Scope before commitment

Defined work, visible prices.

Prices are in CAD. Final scope is agreed before work starts. Compare all services and prices

Complete Security & AI Readiness selects relevant components for an agreed scope: simple environments from $4,950 CAD; typical standard engagements from $7,500 CAD. It does not include every standalone assessment. See the combined scope

A practical engagement

Know what happens next.

  1. Discuss the question. Tell us the business decision, deadline and existing IT support.
  2. Agree the work. Review a written scope, fees, access, customer effort, timing and exclusions before committing.
  3. Review and prioritize. The agreed assessment produces analyst-reviewed findings and useful next steps.
  4. Plan the improvements. Use the report with your IT team or MSP. Any further NorthSecure work needs its own scope.

Example, not a customer result

See the output before choosing the work.

Our fictional report shows how a finding becomes a priority, an owner and an action. It is an illustrative format, not client work or a promise that every engagement includes every item.

Illustrative finding: broad access to an old folder

Business question: could staff discover client material they no longer need?

Next action: the authorized IT owner reviews access and sharing. Leadership assigns the priority and review date.

Who it is for
