I've had the opportunity to work with the team at BALANCED+ and have consistently found them to be professional, responsive, and easy to collaborate with. Their team demonstrates a strong commitment to customer service and takes the time to understand business and technical requirements. In particular, Isabella Mendoza has been incredibly helpful, proactive, and responsive throughout our interactions. I appreciate the partnership and look forward to continuing to work together in the future.

Altruvest Charitable Services has partnered with Balanced+ for our IT and cybersecurity needs, and the experience has been outstanding. As a national nonprofit handling sensitive data across our BoardMatch™ program, having a trusted partner who understands both technical rigor and the realities of a lean nonprofit team matters enormously. Balanced+ has strengthened our systems, improved our cybersecurity posture, and been responsive and clear every step of the way. Highly recommend them to any organization looking for a dependable, security-minded IT partner. Robert Lewocz, Executive Director, Altruvest Charitable Services

Our partners

Know where you are exposed before an attacker does

Most businesses find out how exposed they were after something goes wrong: an old account still active, a firewall rule nobody remembers adding, a password reused from a breached site.

Our cybersecurity services in North York find those weak spots first, fix them in order of risk, and keep watch for anyone trying to use the ones that are left.

  • Sign-ins, laptops and servers watched 24/7 by our security operations centre
  • Multi-factor sign-in and old accounts cleaned up, so stolen passwords are less useful
  • Controlled test attacks that show where your defences give way
  • A technician on site anywhere in the GTA within the hour when an incident needs hands
  • Help preparing for the security questions clients, insurers and auditors ask
  • A 15-minute response when a security problem stops work

Security as a side job vs a team on watch

A stolen password should not be enough to get in

Attackers often sign in rather than break in, using a password taken from another site or a phishing email. Identity and access management means controlling who can sign in to what. In practice:

  • Multi-factor sign-in: a second check, like a phone prompt, so a password alone is not enough
  • Old accounts removed: leavers and unused logins switched off
  • Least access: staff reach what their job needs, not everything
  • Watched sign-ins: unusual logins flagged by our SOC, day or night

A controlled attack shows what to fix first

A penetration test is a hired, controlled attack on your systems, done with your permission, to see how far a real attacker could get. You get a list of weak spots ranked by risk, so the security budget goes to the fix that matters most rather than the newest product.

The same findings help when a client or insurer asks what you have done to protect their data.

Questions to put to any North York cybersecurity provider

Every provider says they keep you safe. These questions separate the ones who can show it. Our answers:

  • How fast do you act on a critical problem? Within 15 minutes
  • Who audits you? Independent auditors: we are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified
  • How long have you done this? Since 1994, and a Fortinet Advanced Partner since 2003

Plain answers about cybersecurity for North York businesses

What does managed cybersecurity cost?

A monthly fee, based mainly on how many people and devices we protect. Testing work like a penetration test is priced as a project. You get exact numbers after the free security assessment.

Our IT team already handles security. Where do you fit?

Usually beside them. Your team keeps running IT day to day, and we add the 24/7 watching and testing that is hard to staff in-house. That split is co-managed IT.

What happens if your SOC spots an attack in the middle of the night?

Our security operations centre watches 24/7 and acts on what it finds, so an attack is not left waiting until the office opens. Critical problems get a response within 15 minutes, and a technician can be on site anywhere in the GTA within the hour.

Does an outside security team see our confidential data?

We access only the systems we protect, and we are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified: independent audits of how we handle client systems and data.

Will this help with insurer or client security questionnaires?

Yes. The assessment and any testing show where you stand and what still needs closing, so you can answer those questions with facts. Our IT compliance services help with formal audits.

Do you protect businesses outside North York?

Yes. Our head office is in Mississauga, and we protect businesses across the GTA, including the rest of Toronto, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington and Vaughan.
