About Us
Celebrating 12 years of being the preferred cyber security advisory partner to clients across Canada and the USA.
Iron Spear was founded by Jason Grimbeek in 2012 with the goal of providing practical cyber security services with a focus on business risk and not based on textbook recommendations. Based on Jason’s founding idea we have built a dynamic team of cyber security experts who are moving and shaking the cyber security world.
FOUNDED IN 2012
For over 12 years we have been committed to providing solutions to meet the needs of our clients whether they are looking for security compliance, control testing, or program development and operation.
CANADIAN OWNED AND OPERATED
We have offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Regina and Winnipeg, offering services across North America.
WE ARE PARTNERS, NOT VENDORS
We believe in a partnership approach with our clients. Iron Spear is committed to a long-term relationship with our clients to support their ongoing cyber needs and does not nickel and dime on every project.
WE ARE EXPERIENCED
Our team has backgrounds in a wide range of industries and provides the trusted methods, approaches, and standards of quality that are expected by our clients.
WE ARE PRACTICAL
One of our beliefs is, that if we are not able to implement it, we will not recommend it. We do not believe in textbook recommendations. Rather, we want to see our clients achieve their objectives.
WE ARE INDEPENDENT
Iron Spear is not contracted to security technology vendors. Rather, we believe in working with our clients to determine the requirements that meet their needs and then identifying best-of-breed products that match the requirements
