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.
Microsoft Intune and Canada: what its own documentation says
Microsoft has its global headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Microsoft's Intune data-storage documentation lists its regions: its North America region is described as data centres in the United States, and its local geographies are Australia, India, and Switzerland. Microsoft Intune publishes Canadian-dollar prices.

What Lavawall® covers compared with Microsoft Intune
Lavawall® covers the endpoint management work Microsoft Intune is used for, and more, on one agent and console:
- Monitoring, patching for more than 7,400 applications on Windows, Mac, and Linux, scripting, and browser-based remote support for Windows and Mac, with ad-hoc sessions for computers without the agent.
- Microsoft 365, Entra, and Azure configuration backup and rollback, including Intune profiles, plus Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace breach detection.
- Compliance evidence for 70+ frameworks and Windows administrator elevation on the same agent.

Where Microsoft Intune may fit better
Intune remains Microsoft's tool for mobile device management, and many teams keep it for that while running Lavawall® as their RMM.
Switching, or running both
Install the Lavawall® agent with a script from Intune or any tool that runs one, connect your Microsoft 365 tenants, and use both: Intune for mobile device management, Lavawall® for everything an RMM does.
