What the engagement includes

A typical FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT engagement in Vancouver 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.

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.

Vancouver context, handled properly

The commercial setting in Vancouver 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.

What it costs

For Vancouver 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.
