Is Lavawall a Canadian alternative to ConnectWise ScreenConnect?

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 ScreenConnect host data in Canada?

Yes, according to its own documentation. ScreenConnect's cloud offers a Canada compliance area that keeps an instance inside Canada. 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 ScreenConnect?

Yes, for remote support of Windows and Mac computers, including computers without the agent through ad-hoc sessions. Lavawall does not offer remote control of the Linux desktop; Linux computers are covered by scripts, patching, and monitoring.

What Lavawall® covers compared with ScreenConnect

Lavawall® covers the remote support work ScreenConnect is used for, and more, on one agent and console:

Browser-based remote control of Windows and Mac, including from a phone, with nothing to install on the technician's side.
An Admin Workspace for fixing problems with administrator rights while the user keeps working, and 50 Windows admin tools one click away.
Ad-hoc sessions for computers without the agent, and end-to-end encrypted sessions available, in which the relay holds no session key.
Remote sessions protected by FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography in the relay and the Windows and Mac agents (Go Cryptographic Module, CMVP certificate #5247), with technician access limited by country by default.
The rest of an RMM on the same agent: monitoring, patching, scripting, security, and compliance.

Where ScreenConnect may fit better

If you need remote control of Linux desktops, Lavawall® does not offer it; it covers Linux with scripts, patching, and monitoring. If Canadian hosting is your only requirement, ScreenConnect’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 through your RMM or with a script, and start taking remote sessions from the browser. Ad-hoc sessions cover computers without the agent while you roll it out.
