The local picture

The cyber threat landscape in Kingston

Kingston's economy leans on its federal and defence presence — CFB Kingston and the military's communications and IT footprint — alongside Queen's University and its health-research institutions. That mix puts sensitive government-adjacent data and valuable research IP on local networks, drawing espionage-style threats and ransomware alike. Defence-supply and government work increasingly carry elevated security expectations — including CPCSC certification for suppliers — while PIPEDA governs personal-information handling across the board.

Kingston cybersecurity FAQ

Common questions from Kingston businesses

What makes cybersecurity different for Kingston organizations?

Kingston's defence and public-sector presence, plus Queen's health-research institutions, mean government-adjacent data and valuable research IP sit on local networks — drawing both espionage-style threats and ransomware. Government and defence-adjacent work also brings elevated security expectations that ordinary IT support isn't built for.

We do defence or government work — what certification do we need?

Suppliers moving into federal defence work increasingly need CPCSC certification; Level 1 is a self-assessment against 13 baseline cyber-hygiene controls. Our free CPCSC Level 1 readiness check scores you against all 13, and our Compliance & Risk Advisory team can help close the gaps.
