About us

A bilingual, Canadian-owned, architect-led security firm

IT Sincennes Inc. helps organizations in Ottawa, Gatineau and across Canada secure their systems and get the most from their IT — in French or English, working directly with Patrick Sincennes, the Microsoft-certified architect who does the work.

Who we are

Security first, without the jargon

Every engagement starts with measurement. An assessment tells you what an attacker could reach and which of those gaps would actually hurt; from there we set the rules and deploy the protections that close them. Strategy through to a delivered, documented project — and the day-to-day running stays yours.

  • Assessment first. We measure risk before anything else.
  • Bilingual. Full service in French and English.
  • Local. A National Capital Region firm.
  • End to end. From strategy through to delivered, documented projects.
