PRACTICE AREAS

Defensive security services built for Canadian environments

CyberMind delivers authorized, consent-based cybersecurity consultancy from our Richmond Street West studio in Toronto. Every engagement pairs machine-learning detection with human analyst review — no offensive hacking, no spyware, no surveillance products. Pricing below is indicative in CAD; final scope is confirmed after a detection review conversation.

HOW WE ENGAGE

Consultancy, not a self-serve dashboard

We work as an extension of your security team. Engagements begin with understanding your telemetry sources, regulatory context under PIPEDA and provincial privacy law, and the threats most relevant to your sector. Whether you need a focused four-week detection tuning project or a monthly retainer for SOC support, we document scope, deliverables and reporting cadence before any work begins.

All figures on this page are ranges, not quotes. We invoice in Canadian dollars and can align billing to your procurement cycle. For organizations outside Ontario, we remain available for remote delivery with Toronto-based analyst oversight.

SIX DISCIPLINES

Sentinel grid — full service descriptions

01 · C$8,500–C$24,000

AI-Augmented Threat Detection

We deploy and tune machine-learning detection models against your endpoint, identity and cloud telemetry. Anomaly detection baselines are established over a two-to-four-week observation window, then refined through human-in-the-loop feedback. Deliverables include tuned correlation rules, false-positive reduction reports and a runbook for your internal team. Ideal for mid-market firms outgrowing default SIEM packs. Project engagements typically run C$8,500 to C$24,000 depending on data volume and environment complexity; ongoing model maintenance is available on retainer.

02 · C$6,500–C$18,000/mo

SOC Support & Alert Triage

When your team is stretched thin, we provide analyst-led alert triage during business hours or extended coverage windows. Every escalation is human-verified before it reaches your on-call roster. We integrate with your existing SIEM, EDR or XDR stack — we do not replace your tooling, we extend your capacity. Monthly retainers range from C$6,500 for part-time triage through C$18,000 for near-continuous coverage with weekly threat summaries. Security monitoring becomes actionable instead of overwhelming.

03 · C$5,500–C$14,000

Phishing & Social-Engineering Defence

Phishing remains the most common initial access vector for Canadian organizations. We analyse campaigns targeting your industry, build detection logic for suspicious domains and attachment patterns, and align awareness materials to real threats — not generic stock scenarios. Engagements include mailbox rule review, DMARC/SPF posture assessment and tabletop exercises for finance and executive teams. Fixed projects typically cost C$5,500 to C$14,000; annual refresh cycles are common for firms in regulated sectors.

04 · C$7,000–C$19,000

Threat Intelligence & Detection Engineering

Raw intelligence feeds are only useful when translated into detection logic your SIEM can act on. Our analysts curate sector-relevant indicators, map adversary techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, and produce detection engineering artefacts — YARA rules, Sigma conversions, and custom correlation logic. We prioritize intelligence that changes your defensive posture, not noise that fills a dashboard. Projects range from C$7,000 for a focused campaign assessment to C$19,000 for a full detection-engineering sprint across multiple log sources.

05 · C$4,500–C$16,000

Incident Response Support

When a confirmed threat requires action, we provide structured incident containment guidance — not panic, not blame. Our analysts help you isolate affected systems, preserve evidence for forensics partners, and communicate with stakeholders using plain language. We support your existing IR plan; we do not perform unauthorized access or offensive operations. Retainer clients receive priority response; ad-hoc engagements start around C$4,500 for initial assessment with full support engagements up to C$16,000 depending on scope and duration.

06 · C$9,000–C$22,000

AI / Model & Data Security

As Canadian firms adopt AI systems, new attack surfaces emerge — training data poisoning, prompt injection, model exfiltration and insecure API endpoints. We assess the security posture of AI pipelines and the data they process, aligned with emerging Canadian governance expectations and your existing security controls. Deliverables include risk registers, access control recommendations and monitoring guidance for model-serving infrastructure. Assessments typically run C$9,000 to C$22,000 based on the number of models and data stores in scope.

DETECTION ENGINEERING

From signal to rule — the CyberMind workflow

Every service above follows the same underlying discipline: detect anomalies with machine-learning assistance, verify with a qualified analyst, and feed outcomes back into detection engineering. This closed loop reduces alert fatigue over time rather than adding another dashboard your team will ignore.

We document every rule change, every tuning decision and every false-positive classification so your security team retains institutional knowledge when our engagement ends. For Canadian clients subject to privacy audits, we maintain processing records consistent with PIPEDA accountability principles.

CANADIAN CONTEXT

Built for how Canadian firms actually operate

CyberMind Inc. is registered in Canada (BN 826194537 RC0001) and operates from 460 Richmond Street West, Suite 200, Toronto. We understand procurement cycles, provincial privacy variations and the reality that most mid-market security teams run lean. Our CAD pricing reflects Canadian market conditions — not USD conversions with a markup.

We host client data processing within Canada where contractually required and maintain clear data-handling agreements before accessing your telemetry. We are a professional services firm: not a product vendor, not a training course, and not a hacking-for-hire operation.
