04 — Approach
An SMB doesn't defend itself
An SMB doesn't defend itself
like a bank.
Too many cybersecurity offerings are designed for large enterprises, then sold to SMBs with a discount sticker. The result: tools too complex, poorly configured, ultimately protecting no one.
Our approach reverses the formula. We start from the reality of Quebec SMBs — mixed Apple and Windows fleets, heavy Microsoft 365 dependence, limited budget, no internal IT team — then deploy the enterprise-grade tools that actually work in that context.
The name 45 Nord SEC comes from the latitude that crosses Montreal: a precise coordinate for work that demands precision.

Answers to questions
Answers to questions
SMBs ask us.
If you're looking for specific information on SMB cybersecurity, EDR, Microsoft 365, or Apple MDM, you're in the right place.
What cybersecurity services does 45 Nord SEC offer?
45 Nord SEC offers a full range of services for SMBs: threat detection and response (EDR/MDR), cloud backup of Microsoft 365, Synology, QNAP, macOS and Windows, Microsoft 365 security (email filtering, AI-based advanced protection, DMARC management, archiving), centralized Apple device management (MDM), network audit and security, and cybersecurity awareness training with phishing simulations.
Where is 45 Nord SEC located?
45 Nord SEC is located at 2000 Rue Beaubien Est, Montreal, Quebec, H2G 1M1, Canada. The company name references latitude 45°N, which passes through Montreal. We serve SMBs across Quebec and Canada.
What is the difference between antivirus and EDR?
Traditional antivirus detects known malicious files using signatures. EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) continuously monitors device behavior, detects sophisticated attacks like ransomware, lateral movement and fileless exploits, then enables automatic response to isolate the threat.
EDR is today's enterprise standard. Antivirus alone is no longer enough against modern attacks.
Does Microsoft 365 already include all the security I need?
No. Microsoft 365 includes basic protections, but they're insufficient against today's threats. Microsoft uses a shared responsibility model: Microsoft secures the infrastructure, but data responsibility is yours.
Complete protection requires: independent backup, advanced phishing and spam filtering, Teams/OneDrive/SharePoint permission management, DMARC/DKIM/SPF configuration, compliant archiving, and identity threat detection (ITDR).
What is Apple MDM and why do you need it?
Apple MDM (Mobile Device Management) lets you deploy, configure and secure Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and Apple TVs from a centralized console. Combined with Apple Business Manager, it automates device configuration from first use.
Security policies, applications, updates, encryption, remote wipe if lost — everything is managed without physically touching devices.
How much does cybersecurity cost for an SMB in Quebec?
Cost varies based on company size, services chosen, and required protection level. 45 Nord SEC offers a monthly subscription model per user or per device, making enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to SMBs.
A free 30-minute consultation helps assess your real needs and provide a custom quote with no commitment.

Yes. In case of a cybersecurity incident — ransomware, email compromise, data leak, suspected intrusion — contact help@45nordsec.com immediately.
Our incident response team is available 24/7 to contain the threat, restore operations and document the incident.
