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 Atera
Lavawall® covers the RMM work Atera 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 and Google Workspace breach detection, and Microsoft 365, Entra, and Azure configuration backup and rollback.
- Compliance evidence collected from the RMM for 70+ frameworks, Windows administrator elevation, and a password vault.
- Help desk, CRM, website chat, and billing in the same console.

Where Atera may fit better
If your technicians depend on Atera scripts and policies today, that switching cost is real. The side-by-side start exists for this: install Lavawall through Atera and move over when your team is ready.
Switching, or running both
Install the Lavawall® agent through Atera with a script (see installing through your current RMM), connect your Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace tenants, and run both side by side. Keep Atera for as long as you like, or move remote support, patching, monitoring, and scripts over one company at a time. See augment today, replace when ready.
