Free IT tools, no email gate.
Calculators and self-assessments that answer the questions people usually have to sit through a sales call to ask. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent or stored.

Three tools, three different moments. Pick the one that matches where you are.
"What should we be spending on IT?"
Use the IT budget calculator. It takes headcount, service tier, licensing, and hardware refresh cycle, and returns a monthly and annual range. The per-user bands it works from are the same $100 to $250 per user per month we publish on our pricing page, so the output lines up with a real quote rather than a made-up benchmark. Useful when you are building next year's operating budget or sanity-checking a proposal from another provider.
"Will our cyber insurance renew?"
Use the cyber insurance readiness scorecard. Canadian insurers have converged on a short list of controls they ask about on the application: multi-factor authentication, offline or immutable backups, endpoint detection, privileged account separation, and documented patching. The scorecard walks those questions, scores the answers, and tells you which gaps are the ones that move a premium or trigger a declination. Worth running about ninety days before renewal, while there is still time to close something.
"Do we have to report this breach?"
Use the PIPEDA breach decision tree. Under PIPEDA, a breach of security safeguards that creates a real risk of significant harm has to be reported to the Privacy Commissioner and to affected individuals, and a record has to be kept of every breach whether it is reportable or not. The walkthrough asks the questions that determine which of those apply and produces the obligation checklist. It is educational, not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for your privacy counsel on a live incident.
You should not have to trade contact details for arithmetic.
Every one of these tools would convert better behind a form. We do not gate them, for two reasons.
The maths is not the value.
A budget range and a readiness score are starting points. What is worth paying for is the judgement about your particular environment, and you cannot get that from a form field. Gating the calculator would only mean collecting addresses from people who wanted a number and now want nothing to do with us.
Nothing leaves your browser.
All three tools are plain client-side JavaScript. There is no form submission, no analytics event carrying your answers, and no server that receives them. If you close the tab mid-way through the breach decision tree, the answers are gone. That is a deliberate design choice for the privacy tool in particular, because the inputs describe an incident you may not want recorded anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Are these tools really free, and is there an email gate?
They are free and there is no email gate. All three open directly and run to completion without asking for a name, an email address, or a phone number. There is a link to book a free assessment at the end of each one, but it is a link, not a wall.
Do you store or see the answers I enter?
No. All three tools are client-side JavaScript that runs in your browser. There is no form submission, no background request, and no server that receives the inputs. Close the tab and the answers are gone. This matters most for the PIPEDA breach decision tree, where the inputs describe a live privacy incident.
How accurate is the IT budget calculator?
It returns a range, not a quote. The per-user bands are the same $100 to $250 per user per month we publish on our pricing page, adjusted for the tier, licensing, and hardware refresh cycle you select. It is accurate enough to build an operating budget against or to sanity-check a competing proposal. It cannot account for legacy systems, compliance obligations, or an unusual site count, which is what a scoping call is for.
Is the PIPEDA breach decision tree legal advice?
No. It is an educational walkthrough of the reporting obligations under PIPEDA, which requires that a breach of security safeguards creating a real risk of significant harm be reported to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and to affected individuals, and that a record be kept of every breach regardless. During a live incident you should be talking to your privacy counsel and your insurer. The tool helps you arrive at that conversation knowing what is being asked.
What does the cyber insurance scorecard check?
Ten questions covering the controls Canadian insurers most often ask about on an application: multi-factor authentication coverage, backup isolation and restore testing, endpoint detection and response, privileged account separation, patching cadence, email filtering, security awareness training, incident response planning, remote access controls, and vendor access. It scores the answers and ranks the gaps by how much they tend to matter at renewal.
Can you run these against our actual environment?
Yes. A 30-minute scoping call covers your headcount, sites, systems, and obligations, and we return a written quote within two business days. The tools are meant to answer the questions people usually have to sit through a sales call to ask, so you can arrive at that call already knowing roughly where you stand.
