A solution shaped to your requirements
Sometimes the right cybersecurity solution simply doesn’t exist as a commercial product, or available products force compromises in functionality, integration, performance or cost.
OKIOK designs and builds custom cybersecurity solutions around your specific requirements. Whether that means developing a complete solution, creating a specialized component or extending your existing technology environment, we combine deep security expertise with practical engineering to deliver the capabilities you need, without unnecessary complexity or cost.
Client success stories
Long-lasting solutions no product could deliver.
A security foundation for digital financial services
A major banking and financial group: banking, wealth management, brokerage and insurance, for consumers and businesses alike.
The group was modernizing its online services and needed security that could stand up to evolving Internet threats, absorb peak transaction volumes without slowing anyone down, and stay simple enough that customers adopted it instead of calling support.
No commercial product could meet the challenge. OKIOK designed and implemented a ground-breaking custom architecture, evolved over the years to include enhanced security mechanisms such as adaptive authentication, and it kept pace with a threat landscape that never stopped shifting. The solution received an OCTAS award for Security and Protection of Information in 2002.

Cryptographic anonymization for decades-long research
A major research organization: longitudinal pharmacological studies spanning several decades.
The studies follow participants for decades. Researchers had to be able to correlate a participant’s information across that whole span, while the identities behind it stayed protected for the life of the research.
OKIOK designed and implemented a cryptographic anonymization solution that correlates records over time without exposing who they belong to. It was independently reviewed and found to meet the applicable Canadian and Québec requirements for protecting personal information, without sacrificing the continuity and integrity long-term analysis depends on.
