About Beth Andress

Digital Risk & AI Governance Advisor • Co-Founder, Street Safe Self Defence

Beth Andress is a Canadian digital fraud educator, self-defence trainer, and AI governance advisor with over 15 years of experience protecting organizations and communities across Canada.

Beth Andress is a Digital Risk & AI Governance Advisor and co-founder of Street Safe Self Defence. With extensive real estate industry experience and specialized expertise in fraud prevention, digital risk mitigation, and operational safety, she works with organizations to implement structured frameworks that protect client data and reduce regulatory exposure.

Through Street Safe, Beth provides preventative governance frameworks designed to help organizations adopt emerging technologies responsibly and defensibly. Her work sits at the intersection of human behaviour and digital risk — understanding that most incidents don't begin with technical failure, but with the everyday decisions people make under pressure.

Beth is also a violence prevention educator and self-defence trainer who has spent years teaching women how to protect themselves — both physically and online. That background in personal safety informs everything she does: the belief that awareness, preparation, and clear-headed decision-making are the most effective defences we have.

Her training approach is collaborative, grounded in real-world prevention, and immediately applicable to everyday work environments. Whether she's advising a brokerage on AI guardrails or training a team to recognize social engineering, the goal is the same: practical skills that people can use right away.
