Is Lavawall a Canadian alternative to Varonis?

Yes. Lavawall is fully Canadian-owned by ThreeShield Information Security Corporation, a Canadian corporation in Calgary. It is hosted in Canada by default, billed in Canadian dollars, and paid by Interac, pre-authorized debit, or Canadian credit card, and supported by staff in Canada. It is a multi-tenant RMM and remote support platform for MSPs and IT teams, with patching, security monitoring, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace breach detection, and compliance built into the same agent and console.

Does Varonis host data in Canada?

Yes, according to its own documentation. Varonis announced a Canadian data centre for its SaaS offering. Lavawall also hosts data in Canada by default, and adds Canadian ownership, Canadian-dollar billing paid by Interac, pre-authorized debit, or Canadian credit card, and support from staff in Canada.

Where is Lavawall's data hosted?

Lavawall's data is hosted in Canada by default: on AWS in Montréal today, moving to a Canadian-owned hosting provider in Vancouver in Q4 2026. Data can be placed in the United States, Europe, or Australia instead when a client's obligations call for it.

Can I pay for Lavawall in Canadian dollars?

Yes. Lavawall is priced in Canadian dollars with GST, HST, PST, and QST handled, and you can pay by Interac, Canadian pre-authorized debit, or Canadian credit card. Billing is month-to-month or annual, with no high-water-mark billing.

Can Lavawall replace Varonis?

For most MSPs and small and mid-sized organizations, yes: Lavawall covers the Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and file activity monitoring they use for compliance, in the same console as the RMM.

What Lavawall® covers compared with Varonis

Lavawall® covers the change and access auditing work Varonis is used for, and more, on one agent and console:

File change monitoring on servers, file access monitoring, and SharePoint and Google Drive file and permission monitoring.
Local account and logon auditing on every managed computer, and Active Directory and Microsoft 365 user reporting.

Where Varonis may fit better

If you need an enterprise audit archive with the deepest data-source coverage, Varonis is built for that; Lavawall® covers what MSPs typically need for compliance inside a full RMM. If Canadian hosting is your only requirement, Varonis’s Canadian option may already meet it; Lavawall® adds Canadian ownership, Canadian-dollar billing paid by Interac, pre-authorized debit, or Canadian credit card, and support from staff in Canada.

Switching, or running both

Install the Lavawall® agent on your file servers and computers, and connect your Microsoft 365 tenants. Monitoring starts as the agent reports in.
