Cybersecurity Services for ESI Technologies

Virtual Guardian, the cybersecurity practice inside the ESI Technologies family of companies, acquired Solsys, a Toronto firm founded in 2006 whose digital identity, enterprise API and observability work runs inside Bell, BMO, Rogers, Scotiabank, TD and Telus. Solsys arrived with a long book of enterprise and small business programmes behind it. ESI itself dates to 1994 and works out of Montreal, which means the group now sells identity and application security into the largest institutions in the country from two cities that do business in two different languages

Buying an identity practice is straightforward compared with feeding one. Accounts of that size do not tolerate a thin bench, because an identity migration at a national bank or an API security programme at a carrier books people for quarters at a time, and the next opportunity arrives while the last one is still running. The group also has to serve Toronto in English and its Montreal base in French, from one organisation, using consultants who are credible in a bank change advisory board and in a Quebec compliance review. Very few firms carry that mix on payroll

CWS was built for exactly this. We place security engineers into engagements under the ESI Technologies, Virtual Guardian or Solsys name, working to a single delivery standard across the United States and Canada, in French wherever Quebec or Canadian federal work demands it. That covers identity and application security, the lines the group already sells. Corova carries the scoping, the quote and the project tracking, so borrowed capacity looks like part of the same firm on every document the client ever sees
