CWS maps Palo Alto controls to Canadian regulatory frameworks so audit and security move in the same direction. Bilingual EN/FR delivery for Quebec and federal engagements.
Scope. Federally-regulated banks, insurers, and credit-unions
CWS mapping. CWS maps Palo Alto NGFW, Cortex, and Prisma controls to OSFI B-13 expectations covering technology operations, cyber risk, third-party risk, and incident management. Mapping is delivered as an engagement artifact.
Scope. Government of Canada departments and federal contractors
CWS mapping. CCCS ITSG-33 controls map directly to NIST SP 800-53. Palo Alto controls translate to specific ITSG-33 control families. CWS produces the mapping as a deliverable for federal-aligned engagements.
Scope. Quebec-resident operations and any organization processing Quebec residents' data
CWS mapping. Active enforcement. Palo Alto data-protection, logging, and access controls map to Law 25 obligations including breach notification, privacy by design, and consent management. Bilingual EN/FR documentation produced for affected engagements.
Scope. Federal private-sector privacy law
CWS mapping. Palo Alto controls support PIPEDA's safeguards principle. CWS produces evidence of access controls, encryption, and incident detection aligned to PIPEDA expectations.
Bilingual delivery in English and French. Engagement documentation, audit artifacts, and end-user-facing communications produced in either language as required.
Fixed-fee assessments, scoped implementations, and monthly managed services. Each engagement led by certified engineers, shipped with bilingual documentation.
CWS holds PCNSC, PCNSE, and Prisma SASE APS certifications, with named specializations across Software Firewall, Hardware Firewall, Prisma Cloud, and Prisma SASE. Engineers are reassessed annually against current Palo Alto curriculum.
Yes. CWS maps Palo Alto NGFW, Cortex, and Prisma controls to OSFI B-13 expectations across technology operations, cyber risk, third-party risk, and incident management. The mapping is produced as an engagement artifact for Canadian banking customers.
CWS produces Law 25 evidence as part of engagement deliverables for organizations with Quebec-resident operations. This includes data-protection control mapping, breach-notification readiness, and privacy-by-design documentation in English plus French where customer requires it.
CWS delivers across Canada with primary focus on Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, and Ottawa. Remote work covers steady-state operations and most implementation phases. On-site work covers cutovers, customer-facing workshops, and any work requiring data-center physical access. Bilingual delivery for Quebec and federal engagements.
Yes. CWS works under the partner brand for Canadian VARs and distributors that need a delivery bench without building one in-house. Engagements are scoped, priced, and delivered as if they were the partner's own team. Standard partner margin is built in to every engagement.
CWS uses a parallel-cut migration methodology: assess, design, build the new platform alongside the legacy, validate, and cut over in a single approved change window. Policy translation is handled with Palo Alto Expedition plus manual review by a senior engineer. Cutover risk is contained to the agreed window with documented rollback. Canadian engagements typically run 6 to 12 weeks.
Data-center perimeter refresh plus DR site is typically 8 to 12 weeks. SOC modernization (Cortex XDR plus XSIAM) adds another 12 to 20 weeks. Full programs run in phases over 6 to 12 months.
Engagement documentation, customer workshops, and steady-state operations are delivered in English or French as required. Most Canadian engagements run primarily in English with French-language artifacts produced for executive briefings, audit deliverables, and end-user communications when the customer requires it. Quebec-resident operations and federal contracts often require bilingual delivery.
