NextIT is the cybersecurity, IT governance and Law 25 compliance platform for small and mid-sized businesses. Data Next Step Inc. builds it in Montréal, where the team has advised SMBs on security and compliance since 2018.

NextIT grew out of that field work. It is not another tool to manage, but one platform that turns security and compliance into clear daily steps.

## What we believe

-   **Plain language:** every finding comes with what it means and what to do next.
-   **Hosted in Canada:** NextIT runs on servers hosted in Canada.
-   **Bilingual by default:** the whole platform works in French and in English.

## What NextIT does

One platform covers the security scan, compliance tracking, software and vendors, incidents, privacy documents and data-subject requests. Your AI assistant can work with it too, through the NextIT MCP connector.

**Backed by:** the OVHcloud Startup Program, NVIDIA Inception, LE CAMP, CEIM and Cybereco.
