Industry Context

The Challenge for Regional Resellers

Proximit runs from Old Montreal and its client base leans physical. Construction, architecture, real estate, automotive and manufacturing sit at the core of it, with professional services firms and nonprofits alongside. Mathieu Cohen founded the company. Seven people are named on the team page, covering support, systems administration, client experience, hiring, marketing and administration, and every service is offered in English and French, including a managed SOC, managed detection and response, and IT audits benchmarked against NIST

Those industries are the ones ransomware crews have learned to price. A construction firm losing project files mid build, a manufacturer whose line stops, a real estate practice holding client financial records: each has a low tolerance for downtime and a growing obligation to show controls to insurers and to customers. Proximit already sells the managed SOC and the detection and response service that answer this. What a seven person team cannot easily do is absorb the work following a real incident, or run a penetration test, a NIST gap assessment and a remediation project for three clients in the same month. Demand arrives in lumps. Headcount cannot

CWS is how a small firm answers big questions without hiring for the peak. Our consultants work under the Proximit name to a single delivery standard, across Canada and the United States, and in French wherever a Quebec client or a Canadian federal file calls for it. Scoping, quoting and project tracking sit in Corova, so a client asking on Tuesday can have a priced assessment by Thursday. Proximit stays the only name on the engagement
