FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT / Lower Mainland
FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT in Surrey, BC
Technology support for the record-keeping, client-identification and privacy obligations that real estate firms must be able to demonstrate.
FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT: the Surrey brief
For real estate firms in Surrey, FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT is a practical response to a plain problem: identification and receipt-of-funds records scattered across inboxes and desktops. FINTRAC and PIPEDA Compliance IT turns regulatory requirements into systems: where identification records live, how long they are kept, who may open them and how a compliance officer can produce them quickly. We do not provide legal advice; we build the technical controls your compliance officer and lawyer specify. We work remotely from Vancouver and attend Surrey sites when installation or incident response needs hands on the equipment.
What is included
- A central, access-controlled repository for compliance records
- Retention schedules and disposal logs with owner sign-off
- Procedures and tooling for access and correction requests
- A register of vendors and systems that hold personal information
- Breach-detection and response procedures with notification checklists
- Evidence packs organised for audits and regulator enquiries
Typical tools: SharePoint, Microsoft Purview, Vendor risk register, Encrypted storage and Audit logging.
What it costs
For Surrey 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.
How we work
Our process is the same in Surrey 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.

Scope for Surrey clients
We scope FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT for Surrey in stages so budget and effort follow risk. The first stage focuses on A central, access-controlled repository for compliance records; later stages extend to the rest of the service as your team is ready. Tools commonly involved include SharePoint, Microsoft Purview, Vendor risk register, Encrypted storage and Audit logging, though we remain independent and will recommend what fits the business, not a catalogue.
Surrey context, handled properly
The commercial setting in Surrey draws on a dense mix of trade, logistics, film, technology, healthcare and professional services anchored by the Port of Vancouver and YVR. Connectivity is best described as 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, and operational risk includes earthquake exposure along the Cascadia margin, atmospheric-river flooding in low-lying areas and the occasional wide-area carrier outage. 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.
