Is Lavawall a Canadian alternative to Vanta?

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.

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 Vanta?

Yes, for most organizations, especially those with Canadian obligations or more than one framework. Lavawall maps 70+ frameworks and collects evidence from the same agent that manages the computers.

What Lavawall® covers compared with Vanta

Lavawall® covers the GRC and compliance work Vanta is used for, and more, on one agent and console:

70+ compliance frameworks with one control set mapped across them. They include 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.
Evidence collected automatically from the same agent that patches and monitors each computer: patch state, disk encryption, endpoint protection, and administrator rights, dated for auditors.
Policies, business impact analysis, vendor risk, and continuity plans, plus an audit by ThreeShield's CISSP and CISA team when you want one.
A full RMM on the same agent, so security questionnaires become a lookup instead of a fire drill.

Where Vanta may fit better

If SOC 2 is your only framework and you plan to keep a separate RMM indefinitely, a SOC 2-focused tool such as Vanta may be enough on its own.

Switching, or running both

Start the GRC module, pick your frameworks, and install the Lavawall® agent through your current RMM so evidence starts collecting on its own. GRC and RMM work together but can be used separately.
