From first call to steady state

We begin by listening, then document what we find, agree priorities and deliver in short increments. For FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT the yardstick is simple. Measured by record completeness on sampled files, time to retrieve a record, and the age of the oldest unresolved privacy request. Reporting is monthly, advisory conversations are quarterly and escalation to a senior person is always available.

Kelowna context, handled properly

The commercial setting in Kelowna draws on wine and agri-tourism, construction, healthcare, aerospace and a rapidly growing remote-work and tech population. Connectivity is best described as good urban fibre in Kelowna and Vernon with thinner options across the surrounding valley, and operational risk includes wildfire smoke and evacuation orders, summer heat and power interruptions that make cloud-based continuity a necessity. We reflect each of these in how we design and support FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT, rather than shipping a template that ignores the place where the office or site actually operates.

What it costs

For Kelowna 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.
