About CannaSecure

The Cannabis Cybersecurity Gap

Cannabis businesses face a unique challenge: you're operating in one of the most heavily regulated industries in America, but you're locked out of traditional banking, insurance, and enterprise security services.

You need enterprise-grade cybersecurity. But you're stuck with generic IT providers who've never touched a Metrc integration or assessed a dispensary's POS system.

That gap costs cannabis operators millions every year.

• 37% of cannabis businesses fail their first state compliance audit
• 60% close within 6 months of a data breach
• Average compliance penalty: $17,500-$52,500
• Average breach cost for small dispensaries: $120,000-$380,000

CannaSecure exists to close that gap.

Our Approach

Cannabis-First Intelligence

Every guide, template, and checklist is built specifically for cannabis operations. We don't repurpose generic cybersecurity content. We've assessed real dispensaries, cultivators, and cannabis MSPs. We know:

• How Metrc integrations get misconfigured (and how to fix them)
• Why cannabis POS systems are vulnerable (and how to harden them)
• What state auditors actually check (and how to prepare)
• How breaches happen in cannabis (and how to prevent them)
