Managed Cybersecurity for Canadian SMEs
Most cyberattacks do not start with alarms or headlines. They start quietly. One click. One missed alert. One system no one was watching.
According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach now costs Canadian businesses CA$6.98 million. For small and mid-sized businesses, the impact is often existential. Many never fully recover.

Most businesses that get breached had antivirus installed. Here is why that is not enough and what managed security actually covers.
| Antivirus Software | SME CyberShield Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| What it detects | Known threats based on signatures only | Known and unknown threats, zero-days, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats |
| Human monitoring | None. Automated alerts only. | 24/7 human security analysts actively monitoring your environment |
| Incident response | None included. You are on your own. | Included and unmetered. We contain, investigate, and recover at no additional cost. |
| Coverage | Endpoint only | Endpoints, networks, applications, and cloud environments |
| Ransomware protection | Partial. Misses novel ransomware variants. | Active detection, containment, and recovery before ransomware spreads |
| Compliance support | None | PIPEDA, SOC 2, and industry-specific guidance included |
| Cost | Low monthly fee per device | Less than the cost of a single internal security hire |

Antivirus is a layer, not a programme. SME CyberShield is the programme.
We get the same call again and again.
A business owner, voice tight. Systems locked. Work stopped. Customers waiting.
They always say the same thing: "We never thought it would happen to us."
Attackers probe businesses like yours every day. They look for the easy ones. The ones without real monitoring and response. Basic antivirus is not enough. It misses what matters. And by the time ransomware hits, the cost is bigger than money. It is your time, your reputation, and sometimes your ability to keep operating.
SME CyberShield exists for one reason: to stop problems early and respond fast when something looks wrong. Choose protection before panic.

Thanks to The Driz Group’s proactive monitoring, we were alerted immediately when our website came under attack. Their fully managed protection allowed us to focus on the business instead of reacting to security issues. Without their support, it would have been extremely difficult to detect and address problems in time without disruption. Jim Dimovski, CMO, Lannick Group |
We operate multiple mission-critical websites. When several were hacked and defaced on the same day, The Driz Group responded immediately. The issue was diagnosed quickly, an action plan was delivered within hours, and our online assets were secured without prolonged disruption. Rob Ryan, CEO, Cambridge Forums |
