Securing Nations, Scaling Smart: How Plurilock Defends Global Institutions While Leveraging Canadian Fintech for Growth

In cybersecurity, staying ahead of threats means scaling defenses, not distractions. As cyber risks grow more sophisticated, security leaders need solutions that work with them—not against them—so they can stay focused on their mission. That’s exactly how Plurilock Security Inc., a Vancouver-based cybersecurity leader, operates. By protecting NASA, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Canada’s Department of National Defence, Plurilock is proving that Canadian innovation can secure the world’s most critical institutions.

But global security requires relentless focus, and administrative complexity can’t slow that down. That’s why Plurilock relies on Canadian fintech solutions to scale smoothly and stay agile

“In today’s world, cyber threats don’t take a day off. Organizations like ours need to stay laser-focused on securing our clients,” says Ian L. Paterson, CEO of Plurilock. “We trust Canadian-built fintech solutions to keep our operations running smoothly so we can focus on protecting businesses and governments around the world.”

Plurilock leverages:

• Float for virtual credit cards
• Plooto for accounts payable
• Certn for background checks

“Canadian companies understand how we work and what we need,” Paterson adds. “We trust them to keep us moving fast and operating efficiently.”

At the heart of Plurilock’s approach is its Critical Services division, delivering intelligence-driven cybersecurity solutions to enterprises, governments, and critical industries. Led by white-hat ethical hackers who think like adversaries, the team conducts penetration testing, cyber risk assessments, and real-time Continuous Security Testing to expose vulnerabilities before attackers do. With actionable intelligence, prioritized remediation, and preemptive threat mitigation, Plurilock Security helps organizations stay resilient in an increasingly volatile digital landscape.

By defending global institutions while scaling with homegrown financial technology, Plurilock is proving that Canadian innovation isn’t just protecting the world—it’s building a more prosperous one.
