Running phishing simulations in your Canadian organization
If you lead IT or security for a city, school board, or company on Google Workspace, this guide is for you — what to measure, how to start, and how PhishGuard helps.
1. Measure outcomes your leadership cares about
Your board and executives rarely ask how many templates you own. They ask whether click rates are falling, whether staff report suspicious mail, and which departments need coaching. Focus your program on measurable risk reduction and department-level reporting — the surfaces PhishGuard is built around.
2. Start with a pilot you can approve
Many Canadian public-sector teams can approve a fixed CAD pilot faster than a multi-year RFP. Scope one department or a few hundred seats, run a couple of campaigns, and produce a leadership readout. That is exactly what PhishGuard pilots are designed for.
3. Protect privacy while you improve security
You still own FOIP/FIPPA (or corporate privacy) obligations. Choose a vendor that minimizes personal information, never harvests credentials, documents subprocessors, and offers Canada-oriented data residency. PhishGuard is built with those expectations in mind.
4. Match the platform your people already use
If your organization is Google-primary, you should not have to force-fit a Microsoft-first suite. PhishGuard is designed for Google Workspace identity, OUs, and Gmail realities.
5. Ask for honest certification status
Large RFPs often ask for SOC 2 or ISO 27001. You deserve a clear answer — not vague badges. We share our real attestation roadmap and interim security package with your procurement team.
