5 Best Cybersecurity Companies in Winnipeg Guaranteed to Make Hackers Sweat
A friend of mine had a very lucrative online business. Everything was running smoothly until disaster struck—she was hacked!
Ironically, the simple antivirus setup she chose to save money ended up costing her big time. She learned the hard way that if you want to safeguard your business, basic protection just isn’t enough.
To save you the headache she went through, here are the top cybersecurity names in Winnipeg that you can 100% count on.
How much do cybersecurity services cost in Winnipeg?
Cybersecurity services in Winnipeg can range from $100 to $149 per hour. Outsourced services cost around $2,000 to $3,500, depending on the scope of protection needed.
1. Exchange Technology Services
Address: 990 Lorimer Blvd #203
Phone: +1 833-387-8324
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 7 AM – 5 PM
Launched by IT pros in 2013, Exchange Technology Services’ mission is to deliver better tech services and solutions across a wide range of industries.
Their cybersecurity services begin with a Security Assessment. They dive deep into your network, pinpoint vulnerabilities, and recommend clear steps for remediation, meaning you’ll be getting a customized plan.
24/7 Monitoring and Response also brings serious muscle. Their team keeps an eye on your systems around the clock, ready to detect threats in real time and respond quickly.
It seems their work actually speaks volumes, with clients and partners like CarsonAir, Custom Heli, Calm Air, CTI, and more.
Of course, expect a higher price tag for premium services. But from what we’ve heard, they’re totally worth it.
Their IT support has been consistently excellent
“Our company frequently relies on Exchange Technology Services, and their IT support has been consistently excellent. I want to give a special mention to Alex, who has been particularly outstanding. Alex’s expertise and professionalism make a real difference. She handles our IT issues with efficiency and clear communication, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Her dedication and skill are a testament to the high standard of service provided by Exchange Technology Services. Overall, if you’re looking for reliable and top-notch IT support, Exchange Technology Services is a great choice. Their team consistently delivers exceptional service.”

Always quick to respond, especially to urgent issues
“ETS is our company’s IT support, and they are always quick to respond, especially to urgent issues, and get them resolved quickly. Their staff is very knowledgeable and professional to work with. Alexandra is great to work with, as well as Toyosi and Ravi.”
— Eric Frogley, Google Review
2. Resolute Technology Solutions Inc.
Address: 433 Main St #500
Phone: (204) 927-3520
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 9 AM – 5 PM
Resolute Technology Solutions was founded by Rod DeVos in 2005 with just five team members. Fast forward to today, and it has grown to more than 50 professionals.
They’re known for Vulnerability Management Services, wherein they use automated scans to spot weaknesses across your network. And they even prioritize which ones matter most.
Now, if something pops up, their team jumps into action via their Managed Detection and Response Services. This fully managed 24/7/365 monitoring system detects threats before they get out of control.
We like that their support is hybrid—someone can physically go to your office to troubleshoot or provide help over a call or remote connection.
While they seem to have all bases covered, note that they cater mostly to medium and large companies. Small startups might need to go elsewhere.
Best managed service provider in Winnipeg
“Resolute is by far the best managed service provider in Winnipeg. I have worked with many MSPs in the area, and these guys just get it. They are proactive, intelligent, and on the ball at all times while always being happy to help. The service is unbeatable.”
— James Bray, Google Review

“Amazing experience with Resolute. Do not hesitate to contact them for any of your IT solutions. Thanks!”

3. 365 Technologies
Address: 555 Plinguet St #200
Phone: (204) 488-3655
Business hours:
- Mon – Sun: 8 AM – 4:30 PM
Since 2010, 365 Technologies has been on a mission: to give best-in-class support at a fixed monthly rate. This will help you focus on running your business instead of worrying about tech headaches.
Their Data Protection and Encryption Services keep sensitive information safe—perfect for businesses that deal with confidential client data.
And if you prefer a foolproof digital shield, sign up for their 365Care+ service. This combines Unified Threat Management with enterprise-class firewalls that get regularly reviewed and tested.
Add to that their malware and breach protection powered by Cisco’s real-time, predictive intelligence, and it seems your business would be completely protected.
Their cybersecurity services certainly are impressive—sadly, their support is not. We heard that they can be slow to respond to issues, as per former clients.
They know their stuff and fix things fast
“365 Tech gets it. They know their stuff, fix things fast, and somehow make technology magic look easy. Basically, they’re the tech pros we didn’t know we needed—but are very glad we have.”
— Muriel Ferrer, Google Review
Issues are usually resolved quickly
“Markiian is always available, and his troubleshooting skills are awesome. Issues are usually resolved quickly, and he always gets back to you if there is something he needs to check on or updates need to be done. I tend to run out of superlatives when describing the level of response/service that 365 Tech provides.”

4. Avenir IT
Address: 141 Bannatyne Ave, Suite 400
Phone: (204) 289-4384
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 7:30 AM – 5 PM
Founded as a humble startup in 2008, Avenir IT now has a team of 25 (and counting). The company built a culture that values happy clients, and in fact, has helped over 100 Winnipeg businesses.
A key offering is Managed Endpoint Security, which focuses on real-time monitoring and threat detection. This helps keep all your devices safe from cyber risks without adding extra strain on your in-house team.
And, unlike other firms, they can scan the shady corners of the Internet to check if your company’s data or employee credentials have been leaked via Dark Web Monitoring.
Now, potential data loss is always possible due to a cyberattack. That’s why it’s cool that their Cloud-to-Cloud Backups protect you from potential data loss—your files would be recoverable even if the worst happens.
Of course, no provider is 100% perfect—we heard about a few service requests being ignored, which can be frustrating.
Protects our company from cybercrime
“Avenir helped us solve our computer problems, set up our network, securely back up our important data, and protect our company from cybercrime. Professional, quick to respond to problems and inquiries, great team of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. I would strongly recommend Avenir It to any business, big or small, as an affordable solution to any IT problems or needs, thank you, Avenir It.”
— Lilac Resort, Google Review
We get timely responses and quick resolutions
“We get timely responses and quick resolutions to most of our issues. The ones that we can’t get quick fixes for are larger project issues and always require more time. A pleasure dealing with Mathieu and company!”
— Darryl Stieler, Google Review
5. Clear Concepts
Address: 219 Kennedy St
Phone: (204) 943-4777
Business hours:
- Mon – Fri: 8 AM – 5 PM
With more than 20 years in the industry, Clear Concepts has built a strong reputation helping businesses all across Canada.
They’re known for their Zero Trust security model, a forward-thinking strategy that mandates that everything must be verified. This model is applied using three principles.
First, Verify Explicitly means every access request is checked against identity, device health, and location. Next, they use Least Privilege Access, only granting users the exact level of access needed to do their job.
Finally, they Assume Breach, treating every situation as if a compromise could already exist. Together, these principles create a strong security posture.
Rest assured that if anything goes wrong, their Service Desk is available seven days a week. Just be prepared to encounter a few rude reps, as reported by their clients.
Provided great value for the cost
“We recently had Clear Concepts provide a company security audit. They were very helpful and professional, and provided great value for the cost. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again in the future.”
— Daniel Hartley, Google Review
Always available when I call
“Clear Concepts is always available when I call and will always follow up to ensure any IT issue is resolved. IT is not my game, so I’m glad I hired CC to take care of it for me and let me focus on my business.”
— Todd Honcharik, Google Review
