North Bay Machining Centre Marks 2nd Company in Northern Ontario to obtain Cyber Secure Canada Certification.
(North Bay, ON) March 22, 2022
North Bay Machining Centre after hard work and dedication, has finally obtained their CyberSafe Canada certification.
As more companies and individuals turn to online activities, whether for business or communications, having cyber secure systems and risk management protocols in place is imperative for a company’s survival among the internet of things.
“The process was very tedious for our Technology Consultant John Jansen. There’s a lot of hoops to jump through. Overall, we are glad we did it knowing our online assets are secure from anyone with malicious intent,” stated Luc Champagne, President. “We would also like to thank the Northern Ontario Defence Readiness Program (NODRP), Watsec Cyber Risk Management, and especially the dedicated efforts of my staff to accomplish this certification. We know right now we are in a far better position than ever to secure our company’s online assets from cyber crime, and that, is great feeling.”
