OnionGrid is a cloud security services company in Canada, headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, serving businesses across Canada and the United States. We assess, migrate, and secure cloud workloads across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform — eliminating misconfigurations, enforcing access controls, and ensuring your cloud infrastructure stays compliant, cost-effective, and resilient. Cloud adoption has moved fast. Cloud security needs to move faster.

How We Secure Your Cloud Environment

We provide end-to-end cloud security services that address your security posture, migration security, cost optimization, workload protection, and compliance — across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
Cloud Assessment

Cloud Assessment

Evaluate cloud readiness before migration.

We assess your infrastructure, applications, licensing, and cost projections before you commit to a cloud migration.

Our Cloud Security Process

01

Cloud Assessment & Discovery

We conduct a comprehensive review of your cloud environment, mapping all resources, identities, network configurations, and security controls against established benchmarks.

02

Architecture & Security Design

We design a secure cloud architecture based on assessment findings, business requirements, compliance obligations, and cloud platform best practices.

03

Migration & Implementation

We execute cloud migrations and security implementations with controlled change management, validation testing, and post-deployment verification.

04

Operate & Continuously Optimize

We provide ongoing cloud security monitoring, posture management, cost optimization, and regular security reviews to keep your cloud environment secure and efficient.

Why Choose OnionGrid for Cloud Security Services

Multi-Cloud Certified Expertise

Our team holds certifications across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. We work in your cloud environment of choice — and in multi-cloud environments where different workloads run on different platforms.

Security Built Into Migration

Many cloud security problems originate in the migration phase, when speed is prioritized over security. OnionGrid integrates security into every stage of cloud migration — ensuring you do not inherit problems that are expensive to fix later.

Canadian Regulatory Alignment

We design cloud environments that align with PIPEDA and Canadian data residency requirements. Where you store data, who can access it, and what controls protect it are all factored into our cloud security designs.

Continuous Posture Management

Cloud environments change constantly — new resources are provisioned, configurations drift, and new vulnerabilities emerge. OnionGrid's cloud security approach includes continuous posture management to catch drift before it becomes a breach.

Cost and Security in Balance

Secure does not have to mean expensive. We help businesses optimize their cloud spending while maintaining the security controls their risk profile requires — finding the right balance for your specific environment and budget.

    FAQs

    Cloud security encompasses the set of policies, technologies, and controls used to protect cloud-based infrastructure, applications, and data. It addresses risks unique to cloud environments — including misconfigurations, overly permissive access controls, insecure storage, and the shared responsibility model — to ensure your cloud workloads remain protected, compliant, and available. OnionGrid delivers cloud security services for businesses across Canada using AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
    A cloud security assessment is a systematic review of your cloud environment against security best practices and compliance benchmarks. It identifies misconfigurations, excessive permissions, unencrypted data, and other vulnerabilities that increase your risk exposure. OnionGrid’s cloud security assessments are benchmarked against industry frameworks including CIS, NIST, and ISO 27001, and result in a prioritized remediation roadmap with clear ownership and timelines.
    Cloud security services include a range of professional capabilities designed to protect cloud environments. These typically include cloud security posture management (CSPM), identity and access management (IAM) review, workload protection, cloud compliance assessment, security monitoring, and incident response. OnionGrid provides comprehensive cloud security services across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform — as one-time engagements or ongoing managed security programs.
    The shared responsibility model defines how security responsibilities are divided between a cloud provider and the customer. Cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud are responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure — physical hardware, hypervisors, and core services. Customers are responsible for securing what they deploy in the cloud — including configuration, access controls, data encryption, and application security. Misunderstanding this model is one of the most common sources of cloud security incidents.
    Cloud infrastructure security refers to the controls applied to the foundational components of your cloud environment — virtual networks, compute instances, storage, databases, and identity systems. It ensures these components are configured correctly, access is restricted to authorized users, data is encrypted, and threats are detected early. OnionGrid delivers cloud infrastructure security as part of both one-time assessments and ongoing managed cloud security programs.
    Scalable cloud solutions are cloud architectures designed to automatically expand or contract in response to changing demand — ensuring your applications perform reliably under peak load without paying for excess capacity during quieter periods. OnionGrid designs scalable cloud infrastructure that is both performance-optimized and security-hardened, so your business can grow without outpacing its security controls or creating new exposure.
    Cloud security prevents data breaches by enforcing strict access controls, encrypting data at rest and in transit, detecting misconfigured storage that could expose data publicly, monitoring for unauthorized access attempts, and implementing logging and alerting to catch anomalous behavior before it escalates. OnionGrid’s cloud security services combine automated posture management with human expertise to provide layered protection against cloud data exposure.
    Canadian businesses using cloud services must ensure their cloud environments comply with PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation. This includes understanding where data is stored geographically, how access is controlled, and what safeguards protect personal information. OnionGrid designs cloud security architectures with Canadian regulatory requirements built in — not added as an afterthought — helping businesses maintain compliance across their cloud environments.
    A cloud hosting provider such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud provides the infrastructure on which you run your applications and store your data. Cloud security is the practice of configuring and managing that infrastructure securely. The cloud provider secures the physical infrastructure, but securing your specific workloads, access policies, and data remains your responsibility. OnionGrid helps Canadian businesses bridge that gap with practical, certified expertise.
    When selecting a cloud security services provider, look for certified expertise across the cloud platforms you use, a proven assessment and implementation methodology, experience in your industry’s compliance environment, and a transparent approach to findings and recommendations. OnionGrid holds certifications across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and delivers cloud security services for businesses across Canada with a clear, results-focused approach backed by deep technical expertise.
