What the engagement includes

A typical FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT engagement in Coquitlam begins with A central, access-controlled repository for compliance records. From there we agree priorities with the owner or managing broker, working with the tools you already hold, such as SharePoint, Microsoft Purview, Vendor risk register, Encrypted storage and Audit logging. Every deliverable is written in plain language, and every change is documented so another competent professional could pick it up.

Speak with an advisor

The simplest way to begin is a short call. Phone (604) 632-4959 or write to info@SAZ.ca, describe your Coquitlam office, development or portfolio, and we will respond with a candid view of priorities and a rough budget. There is no obligation, no lock-in and no pressure.

Local conditions in Coquitlam

Firms in the Lower Mainland work against earthquake exposure along the Cascadia margin, atmospheric-river flooding in low-lying areas and the occasional wide-area carrier outage, and a sensible FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT design allows for them. Connectivity in the area is characterised by dense fibre, carrier-neutral data centres and a deep pool of local IT talent, but also heavy competition for it and constant office-lease churn, which is why we plan failover and tested recovery rather than relying on a single path. The Lower Mainland also shapes who your clients are: a dense mix of trade, logistics, film, technology, healthcare and professional services anchored by the Port of Vancouver and YVR.

How we work

Our process is the same in Coquitlam as anywhere: a thirty-minute discovery call, a short findings note, an agreed plan and staged delivery. We measure results openly. Measured by record completeness on sampled files, time to retrieve a record, and the age of the oldest unresolved privacy request. You will always know who is responsible, what has changed and what happens next.

What it costs

For Coquitlam clients, FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT typically sits within our standard ranges: $89 to $199 per user per month for managed work, $2,500 and up for fixed-scope projects, and retainers from $1,500 per month. GST of 5% is added, and a 10% launch discount applies to new engagements. Contracts are month-to-month after onboarding, and you retain ownership of every account and document.
