Halifax, Nova Scotia

Cyber Security in Halifax

Fortega delivers cyber security across Halifax and the surrounding Nova Scotia region — from a single building to a multi-site rollout under one program, monitored around the clock from Canada and documented to Nova Scotia rules.

Local conditions in Halifax

Atlantic Canada's largest city and a major port and defence centre, with marine terminals, healthcare networks and universities exposed to coastal weather.

Port operations, defence and marine supply chains, healthcare, universities and a growing Halifax commercial core drive demand.

Coastal salt air, hurricane-season wind loading and driving rain make sealed enclosures, surge protection and UPS backup a baseline requirement.

Modern attackers don't separate physical and cyber — your camera network, access controllers and building automation are all reachable from the same network as your business systems. Fortega closes that gap with one program that owns both sides.

Compliance

Licensing and privacy in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia licenses guards and private security providers under the Private Investigators and Private Guards Act, which governs Fortega's on-site personnel.

Commercial video and access logs in Nova Scotia fall under PIPEDA, requiring clear signage, defined purpose and a documented retention policy.

  • One program covers both the building network and the business network.
