ThreeShield’s overall mission is to protect Albertans' information and promote prosperity for mid-sized businesses in Alberta for current and future generations.

This includes prioritizing information security services to the companies that need it most: the 99.7% of companies in Alberta that have under 500 employees, which employ 55% of Albertans. In addition to protecting companies from attackers, ThreeShield is committed to supporting Albertans by providing free security awareness training to children and their parents.

ThreeShield Information Security Corporation is a for-profit company. However, shareholder profits and executive compensation don’t need to come at the expense of our employees. As part of this commitment, none of our employees — including senior leadership — are permitted salaries or wages that are more than 15x the company's average hourly compensation and 50% of company net income is reinvested into our employees and communities.

Where possible, we minimize waste and energy use through the following:

Electronic audit forms to replace paper checklists

2-sided printing on recycled paper

Requirement to include public transportation in travel plans, where possible

We prioritize companies with under 500 employees. These organizations typically do not have the internal resources to protect their employee and customer information.

In addition to providing security awareness and compliance training for our clients, we provide free cyberbullying and information security training to keep children safe. ThreeShield pays its Certified Information Systems Security Professionals for up to four days of work per year to provide volunteer “Safe and Secure Online” training at Calgary schools, PTAs, churches, and other community organizations.

Security is a multi-faceted field that requires viewing problems from many perspectives. This includes avoiding cultural, racial, and gender-based biases. Our hiring practices are inclusive and encourage applicants from all backgrounds. Our goal is for our employees and contractors to reflect Calgary's population, which is composed of:

50.09% females

33.7% visible minorities

7.4% French speakers
