Case Study: Leading Canadian Pension Fund strengthens security operations with Scalar Decisions

High Profile Canadian Pension Fund Implements Cohesive Approach to IT Security Operations

Leading Canadian Pension Fund, a high-profile Canadian pension fund managing billions in assets, was struggling with an outsourced SIEM service that didn’t meet expectations, while also facing internal staff shortages. The fund turned to Scalar Decisions for guidance and to strengthen its security operations with a more cohesive approach, including managed SIEM and onsite security expertise.

Scalar Decisions implemented a managed Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) solution paired with its Virtual Security Office (VSO) professional services, providing 24 x 7 x 365 monitoring, senior security architecture support, and real-time reporting. The engagement improved visibility into the customer’s environment, helped resolve issues faster, protected sensitive personal data, and ultimately grew from a 3-month pilot into a 3-year strategic security partnership.
