GoSecure has partnered with Northbridge Financial Corporation to provide cybersecurity services to commercial cyber insurance clients across Canada.
The agreement covers policyholders of Northridge Insurance and Federated Insurance, offering direct access to incident response support and cyber risk management tools.
As part of the arrangement, GoSecure will serve as the first point of contact for policyholders facing cyber incidents. Services available to eligible customers include a 24/7 incident response helpline, expert consultation and a range of proactive tools intended to help detect and mitigate threats. Additional support includes cybersecurity self-assessments, vulnerability scans and cyber incident simulation exercises designed to test and strengthen response procedures.
Neal Creighton, chief executive of GoSecure, said the partnership supports the company’s focus on incident response and risk reduction. He said GoSecure is positioned to deliver front-line support to policyholders dealing with cyber-related disruptions.
Scott Vandenberg, vice-president of corporate research and development at Northbridge, said the initiative responds to growing demand from businesses for real-time guidance and preventative cyber support. He noted that the ability to contain incidents quickly and recover operations is becoming a priority for commercial clients.
The partnership comes as Canadian organizations face increasing cyber risk and scrutiny. According to market projections, the country’s cybersecurity sector is expected to grow from US$13.37 billion in 2025 to nearly US$22.84 billion by 2030.
Meanwhile, managed services, such as monitoring, detection and incident response, are a significant part of this expansion, reflecting a shift toward outsources security solutions among businesses with limited internal capabilities.
Valued at approximately US$590 million in 2025, the cyber insurance market is projected to almost double to US$1.14 billion by 2030. Insurers are placing greater emphasis on pre-incident services, risk assessments and response readiness, with integrated offerings seen as a way to reduce claims severity and improve underwriting outcomes.
The partnership represents GoSecure’s first move into the cyber insurance space. Further activity in the sector is expected as the company expands its reach and insurers continue to adapt to a more complex threat environment.
