Wire-Fraud & BEC Protection for North Vancouver
North Vancouver is a waterfront city on the North Shore of Metro Vancouver. ITRE delivers Wire-Fraud & BEC Protection to North Vancouver organisations with senior oversight from Ali Sedighi, MBA. Layered defences against business email compromise and fraudulent payment instructions in real estate closings, from mailbox security to a verification procedure your staff will follow. Our clients in the Lower Mainland receive the same method we apply elsewhere in Canada: assess, standardise, protect and report, with a named advisor and no lock-in.
What is included
- Multi-factor authentication and conditional access on every mailbox
- Impersonation and look-alike domain detection with alerting on rule changes
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured and monitored for your domains
- A one-page call-back verification procedure for any payment change
- Staff and agent briefings using realistic closing-day scenarios
- An incident runbook covering contact lists, bank notification and evidence preservation
Typical tools: Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Google Workspace security, DMARC reporting, Conditional access and Mail-flow alerting.
How we work
Our process is the same in North Vancouver as anywhere: a thirty-minute discovery call, a short findings note, an agreed plan and staged delivery. We measure results openly. Measured by the share of mailboxes with MFA, DMARC enforcement status, and the time taken to detect a malicious inbox rule. You will always know who is responsible, what has changed and what happens next.
What the engagement includes
A typical Wire-Fraud & BEC Protection engagement in North Vancouver begins with multi-factor authentication and conditional access on every mailbox. From there we agree priorities with the owner or managing broker, working with the tools you already hold, such as Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Google Workspace security, DMARC reporting, Conditional access and Mail-flow alerting. 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 North Vancouver 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.
What it costs
For North Vancouver clients, Wire-Fraud & BEC Protection 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.
Local conditions in North Vancouver
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 Wire-Fraud & BEC Protection 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.
