Our success depends on assembling a team of dedicated individuals, and empowering them to participate in interesting and meaningful work. To achieve this, we are guided by a set of core values and principles that must be embodied by everyone within the company.

Security Mindset

Security takes centre stage in all endeavours that we undertake. We weave our security centric mindset into our internal company operations, our offered solutions, and all our partner relationships. We do not believe that security is something that should be “bolted on”; rather it is at the core and foundation of everything that we do. We take a serious approach to security.

Pursuit of Excellence

Our constant pursuit of excellence has us learning and improving at all times. We aim to create the most secure and productive solutions available, and then work to constantly improve them. From the smallest task to the largest project, we always aim to exceed requirements and expectations. We excel as leaders in the cybersecurity and information technology arenas.

Do The Right Thing

In cybersecurity and information technology we are responsible for enormous amounts of information, access, and operational productivity. We take this responsibility extremely seriously. We always choose to act safely, ethically, and honourably regardless of the challenge being faced. We earn and respect the trust of our team members, partners, and communities.

Educate and Empower

Knowledge should be shared. The more that we share our experience, knowledge, and ideas the better we all become. We seek to create an environment that empowers people to be innovative, creative, and inquisitive. We aim to learn from and share within our team, partners, and communities. We believe in lifelong learning and in a mutual shared growth mentality.

People Over Profit

Our organization is a vehicle to do good. You can only do that if you invest in your team, your partners, and your communities. Profits can often be a measurement of growth or success, but to us they provide the means to elevate those we care about. Thriving people, companies, and communities create more benefits together on the whole. We are a people first company.

Please review the core values above carefully to determine if they resonate with you. Alignment with these core values is the most important criteria that we look for when selecting new candidates to join our team, much of the interview process will relate to them. Being a strong culture fit is necessary for our professional relationship to be successful. We aim to build a place where people can develop their careers with us over a long-term partnership. We are committed to creating an environment that values and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion of all people from all walks of life.
