Meet Scott Birmingham

After seeing the general apathy of IT service providers, Scott Birmingham founded Birmingham Consulting Inc. (BCI) in 2009 in Ontario with the goal of applying the engineering principles used by high-value manufacturing industries to deliver IT services.

With this focus on uptime and risk mitigation, BCI became an early adopter for delivering cyber security as part of our managed IT services at the time. As our cyber security expertise deepened over the years, we also broadened our services to include information security as a whole, including compliance.

Now, our services are streamlined to be 100% dedicated to information security; with a focus on delivering virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services, Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS), and Defense-in Depth (DiD) information security services.

We have a passion for protecting the information assets of Canadian companies and helping them comply with the security standards relevant to their business.
