Employees who spot phishing. We run the program.

For small and mid-sized businesses and organizations with up to 2,000 employees: simulated phishing emails, training suited to each role and a report on the results.

Two components, one point of contact.

One component trains your employees. The other leaves you with written evidence.

1.1

Training your employees

The recurring part. We take care of it, month after month.

  • Initial setup and full management of the platform
  • Phishing simulation campaigns, managed on an ongoing basis
  • Training tailored to each employee's role
  • Dashboard by team; individual tracking disclosed to employees in an advance notice
1.2

Written evidence for your records

The deliverable. Quebec law requires reasonable security measures (s. 10), and staff awareness is one of them. We document it, date by date.

This component does not cover your other obligations, and we do not provide legal advice. We tell you so on the first call.

  • Dated report: campaigns sent, click and reporting rates, training completed
  • To add to your records in case of an inspection or investigation
  • Security awareness policy template, for approval by your management

Four steps, then the program is up and running.

  1. 1

    Initial audit

    We identify where the human risk lies in your organization.

  2. 2

    Setup

    We set up the platform and the campaigns. On your side: the employee list, and your IT team allowlisting our simulation emails.

  3. 3

    Ongoing management

    Campaigns, training and adjustments, month after month.

  4. 4

    Dated report

    A report documenting your staff's training, to add to your records.

Why a managed program.

Rather than a self-service platform
Nobody on your side has to launch or follow up on the campaigns.
Rather than your IT provider
For them, it is one service among many. For us, it is the only one. We work alongside yours.
Rather than once-a-year training
Annual training is easily forgotten. Regular simulations show whether the habits hold.

SentiaSec is run from Montréal by two IT specialists who know infrastructure from the inside.

We manage the platform and the relationship. You stay in control of your organization.

Frequently asked questions.

Are our employees informed?

Yes. Before the first campaign, you pass on to them a notice that we provide: what is recorded, who has access to it, where the data is kept and how to exercise their rights. The simulations themselves are not announced one by one; otherwise they would not measure anything.

Do we need to change anything in our email system?

A little. Your IT team needs to allowlist our simulation emails in your email system, otherwise your filters block them. We provide the instructions and stay available.

Where is our employees' data hosted?

On our vendor partner's platform. The hosting region is confirmed to you in writing before anything is signed. If the data leaves Quebec, the law requires a privacy impact assessment and a written agreement (s. 17): we provide the technical information you need.

Does this make us compliant with Law 25?

No, not on its own. Quebec law requires reasonable security measures (s. 10): staff awareness is one of them, among the examples given by the Commission d'accès à l'information, and our report documents it. The Act also requires, among other things, a published person in charge of the protection of personal information, published policies, a register of confidentiality incidents and, in some cases, privacy impact assessments.

What about outside Quebec?

The same measure is relevant elsewhere: PIPEDA requires staff awareness in the rest of Canada (Principle 4.7.4), the GDPR requires appropriate measures in Europe (Art. 32), the NIST CSF 2.0 calls for cybersecurity awareness in the United States (PR.AT), and the PCI DSS standard requires a formal program wherever payment cards are involved (Requirement 12.6.1). The report is delivered in French or English.
