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 ConnectWise PSA
Lavawall® covers the help desk work ConnectWise PSA is used for, and more, on one agent and console:
- Help desk priced per named agent with unlimited tickets, SLAs, a knowledge base, and automations.
- CRM, website chat, a calendar, caller ID, and billing in the same console.
- Device-aware tickets with remote support one click away, because the help desk sits on the same platform as the RMM.
Where ConnectWise PSA may fit better
If your business runs on ConnectWise PSA's project, contract, or procurement accounting, check what you rely on before moving; Lavawall® covers help desk, CRM, and billing next to the RMM.
Switching, or running both
Set up your clients and contacts, point your support email and website chat at Lavawall®, and run both until open tickets in ConnectWise PSA are closed.
