There are two large Disaster Recovery firms operating out of Mississauga -
Comdsico and Sungard. Both are primarily geared to computer systems recovery
of all kinds, but have extensive agreements with other vendors and support
companies. Depending on your specific needs, a conversation with these folks
might produce the kind of security precautions you want.
