Mike Stevenson:
We’re a publicly traded FinTech company. We offer a full spectrum of financial services to over 400,000 members across Canada. Security is important to us because we have a commitment to our shareholders and to our customers and vendors that we support. We have a relatively small team, so it’s very important for us to have a partner, to help us with our security assessments. My team takes pride in these assessments and the results of these assessments. Choosing a security consultant, it’s a lot like choosing the doctor, you have these little aches and pains, and you’re not sure how to address them. It was a full security assessment, internal, external, penetration tests, and also a physical security assessment of our documentation, procedures, policies, and that type of thing. The detail was fantastic. We were really impressed with the reports that we’ve got. The professionalism, the engagement was top notch that I was impressed with that.
The detail, the statement of work that we got, we knew exactly what we were expecting from Herjavec Group and they let us know exactly what they were expecting from us. It’s again, like going to the doctor, you’re always worried, but it was a painless procedure. From our board of directors right down to our frontline staff, everybody’s talking about our security on a daily basis. It’s in the front pages of news every day, so you have to be aware. Herjavec Group has been a great partner of ours, and it’s not just an annual you guys show up and do your security assessment. It’s an ongoing relationship.
