Scope for Coquitlam clients
We scope Wire-Fraud & BEC Protection for Coquitlam in stages so budget and effort follow risk. The first stage focuses on multi-factor authentication and conditional access on every mailbox; later stages extend to the rest of the service as your team is ready. Tools commonly involved include Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Google Workspace security, DMARC reporting, Conditional access and Mail-flow alerting, though we remain independent and will recommend what fits the business, not a catalogue.
From first call to steady state
We begin by listening, then document what we find, agree priorities and deliver in short increments. For Wire-Fraud & BEC Protection the yardstick is simple. Measured by the share of mailboxes with MFA, DMARC enforcement status, and the time taken to detect a malicious inbox rule. Reporting is monthly, advisory conversations are quarterly and escalation to a senior person is always available.
Coquitlam context, handled properly
The commercial setting in Coquitlam draws on a dense mix of trade, logistics, film, technology, healthcare and professional services anchored by the Port of Vancouver and YVR. Connectivity is best described as 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, and operational risk includes earthquake exposure along the Cascadia margin, atmospheric-river flooding in low-lying areas and the occasional wide-area carrier outage. We reflect each of these in how we design and support Wire-Fraud & BEC Protection, rather than shipping a template that ignores the place where the office or site actually operates.
