ProtectHQ was built because no Canadian-first password manager existed. Every American alternative asks Canadians to trust their most sensitive data to foreign infrastructure. We built the alternative.
Every Canadian deserves a password manager built for Canadian privacy laws, stored on Canadian soil, and designed by someone who understands the threat landscape — not just the marketing opportunity.
ProtectHQ wasn't built by a tech entrepreneur who read about cybersecurity. It was built by someone who works in the field — a cyber security professional with hands-on experience in the exact threats ProtectHQ defends against.
Every architectural decision, every compliance requirement, every cryptographic choice reflects real domain expertise. The zero-knowledge architecture, the Argon2id key derivation, the HKDF domain separation — all reviewed by someone who understands what's at stake if they're wrong.
ProtectHQ is what a security analyst would build for themselves — and for every Canadian who deserves the same standard.
We cannot read your passwords. Not a policy — a mathematical guarantee baked into the architecture from day one.
Every byte of your data lives on AWS ca-central-1 in Montréal. Contractual guarantee. No exceptions.
We publish our cryptographic architecture and security decisions openly. No security through obscurity.
PIPEDA, Law 25, PHIPA, OSFI compliance isn't an afterthought. It's the foundation.
ProtectHQ is built on a cryptographic baseline that reflects best practices in the security field:
Every cryptographic decision was tested with a comprehensive automated security test suite including IDOR protection, injection resistance, and PIPEDA compliance verification.
