We've Never Been Breached—Why Worry About Cybersecurity?
You're not being naive. You're being pragmatic. But what if that "working" system is quietly exposing you to $5.9M breach risk, regulatory fines, and client attrition—while competitors build audit-ready resilience?
The Hidden Cost of "If It Ain't Broke…"
Most Canadian financial firms operate on what we call "compliance by hope":
"We follow the rules"
But have no proof for OSFI/IIROC audits
"Our systems are secure"
But backups haven't been tested in 18 months
"Staff know not to click links"
But training is ad-hoc and untracked
"We'd know if we were breached"
But 23 days is the average detection time

Why Attackers Love Financial Firms
Financial data is a bullseye—not because you're targeted, but because it's immediately monetizable.
Client net worth, accounts, transactions = immediately monetizable
Financial firms pay 3x more to recover operations
Canadian firms are perceived as less protected than banks
Up to $1M+ for PIPEDA/OSFI violations
The Risk Math:
Three Existential Threats You Didn't See Coming
Finance never stops—but ransomware does.
Result: $10,000+/hour lost, missed deadlines, client attrition
OSFI, IIROC, provincial securities commissions don't care if you 'didn't know' the rules changed.
Result: Fines up to $1M, license reviews, reputational damage
When clients hear you were breached, they assume you don't value their data.
Result: 28% client attrition post-breach (average)
