Our Approach to Cyber Security Compliance
At Oppos, we take a comprehensive approach to assessing our clients’ security posture, using the Canadian Cybersecurity Baseline Controls for Small to Medium-sized companies as a framework. This standard provides a sophisticated solution to major cybersecurity risks while using a clear, simple classification model to gauge your organization’s security status accurately.
- Targeted Services: We specialize in managed Cybersecurity services, IT audits, and compliance attestations without offering additional consulting services or financial audits.
- Fix-Fee Pricing: All engagements have a fixed fee, eliminating any surprise costs. This is in contrast to the traditional hourly billing practices of the Big 4.
Once we’ve assessed your security posture, we will assess any regulatory compliance obligations and measure your level of compliance. Then, we will create a personalized roadmap that aligns with your company’s goals, industry requirements, and legal obligations.
Upon approval from your executive team, we will build a Security Awareness Training program specific to your company’s needs and provide annual training for all staff members. This includes in-person or remote live training and access to our Learning Management system, which will provide ongoing training through internal email phishing campaigns.

The value is that it gives us a different perspective on compliance management. For the nominal amount of money I’m paying– it’s paying for itself.
They weaved in a layer of security that we had only dreamed of in the past – a next generation rewall — which they built, con gured and deployed at the perimeter of our network. When called upon, even with the great distance between us, they provide onsite or remote support as required and always meet the mark. Since the time of our initial project, we have called upon Oppos several times for various IT and Security related projects which they have delivered on every time.
A large Telco client of ours required Moveable Online undergo a PCI-DSS gap assessment. After asking around within our circle or business associates, we were introduced to Oppos. They were able to aid us with the gap assessment, make recommendations to secure our environment and help prepare the documentation our client required. The process was quick, informative and we will engage Oppos for future compliance related activities, primarily our efforts with achieving PCI-DSS compliance.
