Cybersecurity for Edmonton Contractors & Trades
Construction, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and landscaping businesses move real money on every job — deposits, progress payments, supplier invoices. That's exactly what fraudsters are after, and it's exactly what LogosCyber is built to stop.
The Problem
You don't need sensitive client data to be a target. You just need to move money.
Law firms and clinics get targeted for the data they hold. Contractors and trades get targeted for something simpler: every project has a deposit, a progress payment, or a supplier invoice moving through email at some point — and fraudsters have gotten very good at inserting themselves into that conversation.
The pattern is almost always the same. Someone compromises an inbox — yours, a supplier's, or a subcontractor's — and waits. Right as a payment is due, a follow-up email arrives with "updated" bank details, sent from an address that looks correct at a glance. One letter changed in a domain is enough. By the time anyone notices, the money is gone and the bank can't claw it back.
This isn't a rare, unlucky event. It's now the most commonly claimed type of cyber incident in Canada — ahead of ransomware — and construction is one of the industries it hits hardest.

Why This Matters For Your Business
Four ways this actually costs a trades business money.
Deposit & Progress Payment Fraud
Every milestone payment is a moment fraudsters can intercept — a spoofed invoice or "updated banking details" email, timed right when a payment is due.
GC & Prime Contractor Requirements
More general contractors are asking subs to prove a security posture before awarding work. No answer, or a bad one, can mean no bid.
Scheduling & Dispatch Downtime
If ransomware locks your project management or scheduling software, crews don't know where to go. Downtime isn't an office problem — it's a jobsite problem.
Cyber Coverage on Your Business Insurance
Cyber-related questions and riders are increasingly showing up on general business insurance renewals — not just standalone cyber policies. Being unable to answer them affects your premium.

Why This Isn't Optional Anymore
You don't need to worry about privacy law to have a real cybersecurity exposure. You need to worry about the invoice that looks slightly off, the GC who now asks security questions before awarding a contract, and the insurance renewal form with a new section you've never seen before. None of that requires a data breach — it just requires someone getting into an inbox at the wrong moment. LogosCyber watches for exactly that, so a compromised email doesn't turn into a six-figure wire transfer.

Common Questions
What Edmonton contractors ask before signing up.
Because you move real money.
Fraudsters don't need your client files. They need one intercepted invoice or one spoofed "updated banking details" email timed to a progress payment. That's a bigger prize than most data on its own.
You point to a managed provider and a documented posture.
A LogosCyber plan gives you an actual answer — active monitoring, patch compliance, and documentation — instead of "we have antivirus."
Increasingly, yes.
Cyber-related questions and coverage riders are showing up on general business insurance renewals, not just standalone cyber policies. Being unable to answer them can affect your premium or your coverage.
That's what the Cork Cyber warranty is for.
Guarded and Secured include financial warranty coverage specifically for ACH and wire transfer loss — up to $50,000 and $75,000 respectively — on top of the monitoring that's meant to catch it before it happens.
