The Tenable One Exposure Management Platform provides a single source of truth for cyber risk, helping Canadian security teams shift from reactive patching to proactive risk reduction. With native support for Canadian data residency and alignment with frameworks like ITSG-33, Tenable One helps Canadian organizations simplify compliance and strengthen their security posture.

The cybersecurity landscape in Canada is becoming more challenging by the day. Threats are evolving, digital transformation is accelerating and regulations are tightening. Canadian organizations – from federal government agencies to local partners and service providers – need visibility, prioritization and remediation strategies so that they can reduce cyber risk and maintain compliance without slowing down operations.

They don’t need another cybersecurity tool. They need a unified strategy.

Enter the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform, which supports these goals by radically unifying security visibility, insight and action across the entire attack surface. With native support for Canadian data residency, localized scanning infrastructure, compliance mapping to Canadian frameworks like ITSG-33, and capabilities spanning vulnerability, cloud, identity and attack surface management, Tenable One is helping Canadian customers and partners operationalize exposure management programs.

Why Canada needs exposure management programs now more than ever

Exposure management programs are a pragmatic, risk-based approach to reducing cyber exposure. Its continuous cycle of scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation and mobilization shift security operations from reactive patching to proactive risk reduction.

In Canada, exposure management programs are essential due to:

• The evolving regulatory landscape, especially for public sector and critical infrastructure organizations
• Larger attack surfaces driven by hybrid work, cloud adoption and SaaS sprawl
• Limited cybersecurity talent, requiring greater automation and context-driven workflows
• An emphasis on data residency and trust in the handling of sensitive data

Tenable One addresses these challenges through a unified platform that consolidates and correlates exposures across assets, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, entitlements and attack paths – and provides Canadian organizations with local infrastructure and compliance support.

Tenable One keeps Canadian data in Canada

Canadian organizations, especially in the public sector, must ensure that their sensitive data remains within national borders. Tenable One is designed with data residency in mind. When customers opt in to the Canadian region, all data associated with Tenable Vulnerability Management and other components of Tenable One is stored in data centers located in Canada.

This support for data localization is not a future roadmap item – it's available today. It’s critical for federal, provincial, and regulated private sector customers.

Local cloud scanners in Canada

With Tenable One’s Canada-hosted cloud scanners, customers can reduce latency, improve performance and ensure that scan data stays within Canadian jurisdiction.

Allowing Tenable One customers to choose scanner locations in Canada offers a major advantage to decentralized organizations and MSSPs that need to enforce compliance while serving multiple clients across the country.

Aligning with ITSG-33: Risk management in a Canadian context

The Government of Canada's ITSG-33 is a cornerstone of security compliance for public sector organizations. It provides a lifecycle-based framework for IT security risk management.

Tenable One supports ITSG-33 alignment by providing visibility into:

• Vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across hybrid environments
• Identity exposures and misused privileges
• External attack surfaces, including shadow IT and third-party risks

These insights help organizations assess risk against defined threat models, implement appropriate security controls and support ongoing assessment and authorization phases of ITSG-33. By enabling continuous monitoring and automated reporting, Tenable One simplifies compliance workflows and helps security teams focus on what matters most.

CNAPP for Canadian federal customers

Tenable One also includes Tenable Cloud Security, a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that is actively in use by Canadian federal customers. As cloud adoption continues to expand across government departments and Crown corporations, it’s critical to detect and remediate misconfigurations, overprivileged identities and lateral movement risks in cloud environments.

Tenable Cloud Security delivers:

• Agentless visibility into multi-cloud environments
• Mapping of misconfigurations and risks to compliance frameworks
• Integration with CI/CD pipelines to prevent drift and enforce policy

This makes it an ideal solution for cloud-smart strategies while maintaining visibility, governance and risk reduction at scale. For departments leveraging Government of Canada (GC) data centres, including end-state data centres (EDCs), Tenable Cloud Security also provides exposure management capabilities for self-hosted Kubernetes clusters.

Why Canadian partners trust Tenable

We’re invested in the success of our Canadian partners. Tenable One’s multi-tenant capabilities, open APIs and integration with popular SIEM, SOAR and ITSM tools make it easy for managed service providers, systems integrators and resellers to build scalable, differentiated exposure management offerings for customers.

Tenable's investment in Canadian infrastructure, localization support, culture of transparency and compliance alignment helps partners win and retain business in regulated verticals such as:

• Federal, provincial and municipal governments
• Healthcare and public health agencies
• Financial services
• Energy and utilities

By building their exposure management services on Tenable One, partners reduce operational overhead while providing tangible security outcomes for clients.

Leveraging your existing security stack through connectors

Tenable One enhances the tools you already own. With pre-built connectors, the platform ingests asset data and associated weaknesses from your ecosystem to:

• Centralize risk data for complete, contextualized visibility.
• Reveal hidden relationships between vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and entitlements, and to expose toxic risk combinations.
• Identify remediation choke points that, if addressed, can dramatically reduce overall business risk.

By building on existing security investments, this approach helps Canadian organizations accelerate their exposure management program maturity.

A unified platform for exposure management programs in Canada

At the heart of Tenable One is its ability to unify data from disparate sources and present prioritized, risk-based actions to reduce exposure. Unlike siloed tools that deliver point-in-time assessments, Tenable One delivers:

• Asset inventory across cloud, on-prem and OT environments
• Continuous vulnerability assessment
• Identity exposure management
• External attack surface discovery
• Threat-informed risk scoring and predictive analytics

Canadian organizations gain a single source of truth that is compliant with local laws, actionable within ITSG-33 frameworks, and scalable across hybrid environments.

In summary

Facing increasing regulatory scrutiny, distributed attack surfaces, and resource constraints, Canadian organizations need more than just vulnerability management. They need exposure management – delivered through a platform that supports data residency, simplifies compliance, and enables continuous, measurable improvement.

Tenable One is delivering on that promise. From data residency and local scanners to support for federal compliance frameworks, the platform empowers security teams to turn exposure management programs into a core operational advantage.
