Factero

Factero is an independant IT governance and cybersecurity advisory firm based in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada. The firm helps executive teams make clearer, lower-risk technology decisions through independent guidance, assessments, and roadmaps, without selling products or collecting commissions from vendors.

Factero’s core services include fractional CIO (vCIO) leadership, independent IT audits, cybersecurity posture and risk assessments, and governance-focused maturity evaluations aligned to recognized frameworks such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). Factero also supports privacy and compliance-oriented work relevant to Canadian organizations, including planning and governance activities connected to Quebec’s Law 25 and broader Canadian privacy expectations.

Factero primarily serves small and mid-sized organizations, municipalities, and nonprofits across the Quebec-Ontario corridor. Engagements are designed for non-technical leaders who need practical decisions, transparent options, and a prioritized plan that balances operational needs, budgets, and risk. Typical deliverables can include executive-ready findings, vendor-neutral recommendations, risk registers, maturity snapshots, and multi-month to multi-year technology roadmaps.
