Ofnex Consulting Inc. is a Canadian enterprise AI and cybersecurity consultancy. We work with mid-market organizations, regulated industries, and enterprises where security and compliance requirements aren't an afterthought — including environments that require GoC security clearance to access.
Our engagements are led by Faiz, a CISSP-certified cloud security architect with 15+ years in enterprise infrastructure and GoC Level II Security Clearance. For larger-scope engagements, Ofnex works with a vetted network of senior AI engineers, security specialists, and cloud architects across Canada — giving clients the depth of a larger firm without the overhead.
We are a Claude Partner Network approved firm, a Lenovo Premier Partner, and a Google Cloud specialized partner — relationships that translate directly into better tools, faster implementation, and technical capabilities unavailable to general freelancers.
Security-first by default. Every engagement is designed for your compliance environment from day one — not bolted on at the end. We understand PIPEDA, PHIPA, ITSG-33, and Protected B before we write a single line of code.
Government-ready. Active GoC Level II Security Clearance (valid 2033) means federal departments can engage Ofnex immediately — without waiting months for clearance processing. No other AI consultancy in the GTA offers this combination.
Boutique depth, enterprise reach. Led by a principal with Fortune 500 and GoC delivery experience, with a specialist network available for complex engagements. You get senior attention without the enterprise overhead.
Incorporated in Ontario, Canada · Serving clients across Canada, the United States, and internationally · Remote-first delivery with no geographic restriction on engagements
I'm Faiz — a cloud security architect who pivoted into AI automation because I kept watching enterprise organizations spend fortunes on AI that wasn't built to survive their own security requirements.
Before Ofnex, I spent 15 years in the infrastructure trenches — migrating 740+ workloads to GCP, standing up cloud landing zones for Fortune 500 clients, and delivering security architecture for Government of Canada programs. I earned dual CCIEs, CISSP, and 9 Google Cloud Professional certifications in the process.
I started Ofnex because Canadian businesses deserve AI built by someone who understands both the technology and the regulatory environment it has to operate in. Engagements are led personally — not handed off to a junior team. For complex, multi-stream projects, I bring in a vetted network of senior specialists I've worked with in enterprise environments — people with the same standards I hold myself to.
I built my career inside regulated environments where a misconfiguration doesn't cause a support ticket — it causes an incident. That mindset is baked into every Ofnex engagement.
Valid until 2033. PBMM-compliant architecture, ITSG-33 alignment, and GC Cloud Security Guardrails built in. Government and regulated-industry clients can engage immediately — no clearance delays.
Every deployment is designed against NIST SP 800-207 — VPC Service Controls, CMEK encryption, column-level data access, and full audit logging from day one. Not because clients ask for it. Because it's the only way I know how to build.
NDA is signed before any operational data is discussed. Your data is deployed into your own GCP environment — never a shared platform. We don't use client data to train models, feed analytics tools, or store anything outside your agreed perimeter.
PIPEDA, PHIPA, ITSG-33, PCI-DSS, OSFI guidelines. These aren't acronyms I look up — they're frameworks I've delivered against in production. If your industry has a compliance requirement, we've likely already worked inside it.
Ofnex works with senior contractors and specialists for larger client engagements — cloud architects, AI engineers, security consultants, and compliance experts based in Canada.
If you have deep expertise in GCP, Claude/AI deployment, enterprise security, or Canadian regulatory compliance and are interested in associate engagements, reach out with a brief note about your background.
Tell me what your team spends time on that shouldn't require a human. I'll tell you what's automatable, what it would cost, and what it would save — before you commit to anything.
