Write for Us
Write for Security Standards Canada. Industry articles from practitioners, published with full author attribution. Pitch a topic in physical security, cybersecurity, networking, or infrastructure.
Guest articles from practitioners
We publish industry articles written by the people who do the work: consultants, integrators, engineers, technicians, and security leaders. Every published article carries full author attribution: your name, your role, and a short bio with a link to your company or profile. Your expertise, your byline.
Articles are edited for clarity and must meet the same bar as everything else on the site: accurate, practical, vendor-neutral in tone, and useful to Canadian practice. Technical claims need sources. Thinly veiled product advertising will not run; if you want promotion, see advertising instead, which is always labeled as such.
What a published piece gives you
- A real byline and your own author profile page, with the work credited to you.
- Reach to a Canadian audience of integrators, consultants, and security and network professionals.
- A permanent, editorially independent home for your expertise, with no advertising wrapped around it.
This is a selective process.
We encourage submissions and read every serious one, but there is no guarantee of publication. We weigh two things: the quality of the content and the standing and reputation of the author. We do not run advertising, blatant self-promotion, link-building or SEO guest posts, or anything we judge to fall outside the spirit of an independent, practitioner-grade resource for Canada's security and network trades.
Topics we want
- Access control, video, and intrusion practice
- Network design for security systems
- Cybersecurity for integrators and OT environments
- Standards in Canadian practice (ULC, CSA, TIA, NIST, IEC 62443)
- Case studies and lessons from real projects
- Career and trade insight for security professionals
Submission rules
So we are on the same page before you spend time on a pitch:
- Original and exclusive. Your own work, not published elsewhere and not reworked from an existing post.
- Written from experience. By someone who does the work. We do not run material ghostwritten by an agency on behalf of a third party, or AI text passed off as first-hand.
- No link trading. We are an independent editorial site. Any outbound links are added at our editorial discretion and point to primary sources (standards bodies, manufacturer documentation, official references). We do not add links to commercial, affiliate, or SEO-target pages, and we do not accept articles written to place a backlink.
- Vendor-neutral. You can reference products, but the piece cannot read as an advertisement. A disclosed commercial interest is fine; an undisclosed one is not.
- Edited and fact-checked. We edit for house style and check claims against published sources. Publication is at our editorial discretion, and a pitch is not a commitment.
Pitch an article
Send a short pitch first. If it fits, we will ask for the draft and work through editing together. Submission is open to anyone, but publication is selective and never guaranteed.
We do not pay for guest articles and we do not charge to publish them. No sponsored posts disguised as editorial, in either direction. See the editorial policy.
