What makes Lavawall® Canadian
Canadian ownership, hosting, billing, payment, support, and law, in one platform.
Fully Canadian-owned
Lavawall® is built and owned by ThreeShield Information Security Corporation, a Canadian corporation based in Calgary, Alberta. Its terms are governed by the laws of Alberta and of Canada.
Hosted in Canada
Data is hosted in Canada by default: on AWS in Montréal today, moving to a Canadian-owned hosting provider in Vancouver in Q4 2026. Where a client's obligations call for it, data can be placed in the United States, Europe, or Australia instead.
Billed in Canadian dollars
Canadian-dollar pricing with GST, HST, PST, and QST handled, month-to-month, with no high-water-mark billing.
Canadian ways to pay
Pay in Canadian dollars by Interac, Canadian pre-authorized debit, or Canadian credit card.
Supported from Canada
Support and Tier 3 escalation come from ThreeShield staff in Canada, the CISSP- and CISA-credentialled team that builds the product.
Canadian law built in
Compliance mapping covers more than 20 Canadian laws and frameworks, including PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, Alberta PIPA and the Health Information Act, BC PIPA, FIPPA, and the E-Health Act, Ontario PHIPA, CPCSC, CIRO, and FINTRAC, alongside SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CMMC. See Canadian GRC.

What Lavawall® covers compared with AutoElevate
Lavawall® covers the administrator elevation work AutoElevate is used for, and more, on one agent and console:
- Just-in-time administrator rights for Windows users, with rules by certificate, thumbprint, hash, or path; certificate rules survive routine renewals.
- Ringfencing for elevated programs, and execution prevention for high-risk tools, rolled out in audit mode first.
- Offline approval with a one-time code, technician approval from a phone notification, and no kernel driver.
- A full RMM, patching, and compliance evidence on the same agent.
For a feature-by-feature comparison, see Lavawall® compared with AutoElevate.
Where AutoElevate may fit better
If you want an allowlisting model in which only approved software can run, that is how AutoElevate describes its approach; Lavawall® uses administrator elevation with execution prevention for high-risk tools instead. Elevation is available for Windows.
Switching, or running both
Install the Lavawall® agent through your RMM; elevation installs with it, with no separate enrolment code. Start with execution prevention in audit mode and review what it would block.
