Is Lavawall a Canadian alternative to ThreatLocker?

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 ThreatLocker host data in Canada?

Yes, according to its own documentation. ThreatLocker announced a data centre in Toronto in 2024. 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 ThreatLocker?

For administrator elevation on Windows, yes. Lavawall grants administrator rights just in time and blocks high-risk tools, without a kernel driver, on the same agent as its RMM.

What Lavawall® covers compared with ThreatLocker

Lavawall® covers the administrator elevation work ThreatLocker is used for, and more, on one agent and console:

Just-in-time administrator rights for Windows users, with rules by certificate, thumbprint, hash, or path; certificate rules survive routine renewals.
Ringfencing for elevated programs, and execution prevention for high-risk tools, rolled out in audit mode first.
Offline approval with a one-time code, technician approval from a phone notification, and no kernel driver.
A full RMM, patching, and compliance evidence on the same agent.

For a feature-by-feature comparison, see Lavawall® compared with ThreatLocker.

Where ThreatLocker may fit better

If you want an allowlisting model in which only approved software can run, that is how ThreatLocker describes its approach; Lavawall® uses administrator elevation with execution prevention for high-risk tools instead. Elevation is available for Windows. If Canadian hosting is your only requirement, ThreatLocker’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; elevation installs with it, with no separate enrolment code. Start with execution prevention in audit mode and review what it would block.
