Most breaches at small businesses are not sophisticated. They start with a phished password, an unpatched laptop, or a weak remote-access setup — and they are expensive to clean up. Cybersecurity services for a business your size are about closing those common gaps and having a plan for when something still gets through.
Scandifix helps Edmonton businesses build a security baseline that fits their risk and budget — no fear-selling, no tools you will never use.
Where we start: a risk assessment
We review your accounts, devices, network, backups and remote access, then give you a prioritised list — what to fix now, what to plan for, and roughly what each item costs. This is the free first step for new clients.
Core protections we implement and manage
- Endpoint protection on every workstation and server, centrally monitored
- Email security — filtering, anti-phishing and multi-factor authentication on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- Firewall configuration and network segmentation, keeping payment and guest traffic separate
- Patch management so known vulnerabilities are closed quickly
- Secure remote access (VPN or zero-trust access) to replace exposed remote-desktop
- Staff security-awareness training and simulated phishing
- Monitored, tested backups so ransomware is a recovery event, not a business-ending one
Compliance support
If you handle card payments, health information or client financial data, we help you meet the relevant requirements — PCI-DSS, PIPEDA and industry rules — and document your controls.
If something happens
We provide incident response: containing the problem, restoring from clean backups, working through what was affected, and closing the gap that let it in. Monthly security clients get priority response.

Frequently asked questions
We are small — are we really a target?
Yes. Most attacks are automated and untargeted; small businesses are hit because they are easier, not because someone chose them. Basic controls stop the large majority.
Do you run a 24/7 security operations centre?
We provide monitored endpoint and email protection with alerting, and partner with specialist providers for 24/7 managed detection where a client needs it. We will tell you honestly what level you need.
How much should a small business spend on security?
It scales with risk and size. The assessment gives you real numbers; for many small firms the essential baseline is a modest addition to their monthly IT cost.
