Your internet service provider gives you a router and calls it security. It isn't. Softchoice Solutions delivers professional-grade home network protection, endpoint security, and family privacy tools that actually keep your household safe.
Most Canadians assume cybersecurity is something companies worry about. That assumption is exactly what cybercriminals are counting on.
Think about what's connected to your home network right now: your laptops and phones, your children's tablets and gaming consoles, your smart TV, streaming devices, smart doorbell, and thermostat. Every single one of those devices is a potential entry point — and most home networks have little to nothing standing between those devices and the internet.
Your ISP's router is not a security product. It's a connection device. The security that matters — real firewall rules, threat monitoring, encrypted DNS, content filtering, and endpoint protection — doesn't come with your monthly internet bill. That's what we provide.
Book a Free Home Security ConsultThe same level of protection enterprises depend on — adapted and priced for your home, your family, and your budget.
We configure and harden your home network with professional-grade firewall rules, network segmentation, and intrusion detection. We separate your IoT devices, guest traffic, and primary devices into protected zones.
Every device your family uses — Windows PCs, Macs, iPhones, Android phones, tablets — gets enterprise-class protection that detects malware, ransomware, and phishing attempts before damage is done.
A properly configured firewall is the single most impactful security measure you can add. We install, configure, and monitor a dedicated firewall appliance with real-time visibility into what's happening on your network.
Network-level parental controls that can't be bypassed by switching browsers or using a VPN app. Different policies for different family members, blocking adult content and dangerous websites at the network level.
We implement encrypted DNS, ad and tracker blocking, and privacy-preserving configurations that stop your family's data from being quietly harvested and sold. What you do online is your business.
We audit your smart home devices, segment them onto a protected network, and configure monitoring so that a compromised device can't become a backdoor into your personal data or your family's privacy.
Misconceptions about home cybersecurity leave Canadian families unnecessarily exposed.
"I'm not important enough for hackers to target."
Modern cyberattacks are automated and indiscriminate. Bots scan millions of home networks daily looking for any vulnerability. You don't need to be famous. You just need to be online.
"My internet provider keeps me safe."
Your ISP provides connectivity — full stop. The router they supply has no malware detection, no content filtering, no threat intelligence, and no monitoring. Security is not their business. It's ours.
"My kids don't need protection — they're just gaming and on YouTube."
Children are among the most targeted demographics online — from predatory content and social engineering to account theft and in-game scams. Gaming platforms are common vectors for malware distribution.
"I have a free antivirus app — that's enough."
Legacy antivirus catches only a fraction of modern threats, which increasingly use fileless techniques and zero-day exploits. Real endpoint protection uses behavioural analysis and cloud threat intelligence.
No jargon, no surprises. All plans include a free initial home network assessment. No long-term contracts.
"I never thought we needed this at home. After Softchoice ran a free assessment, I was genuinely shocked at what they found. Devices I forgot we owned connecting to things they had no business connecting to. They fixed everything and now I actually understand what's on my network."
"As a mom with two kids doing everything online, the parental controls Softchoice set up work at the network level — my kids can't just switch browsers to get around them. It's been such a relief."
"I work from home and handle confidential client data. Softchoice set up proper network segmentation so my work devices are completely separate from everything else in the house. Worth every penny."
The Essential plan requires no hardware — we work with your existing router remotely. The Family Shield and Premium plans include the Softchoice Box, a compact managed firewall appliance we configure and manage on your behalf. Hardware is priced separately from monthly fees.
No — in many cases properly configured network security actually improves performance by eliminating malicious traffic, background data harvesting, and bandwidth-wasting ad scripts. Our clients regularly report their internet feels faster after setup.
Both. Most configuration and monitoring is handled remotely. For initial setup or when physical access is needed, we offer on-site visits throughout Southern Ontario, with broader coverage available by arrangement.
Yes. Parental controls are configured to block harmful content without interfering with normal, healthy online activity. Gaming, streaming, educational sites, and social media can all be managed to the level you're comfortable with, for each child individually.
