What 24/7 Cybersecurity Includes in Maple Ridge
Cybersecurity operations is the always-on layer that watches endpoints, identities, mailboxes, and the dark web while you sleep. For Maple Ridge it is the layer that makes distance irrelevant: containment is a console action, not a windshield trip.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Modern next-generation antivirus on every Windows, Mac, mobile device, and ruggedised tablet, with behavioural detection, exploit prevention, and one-click remote isolation. Deployed before the user receives the laptop.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Human analysts watching the EDR telemetry 24/7. When an alert fires at 3 a.m. on a Hammond bookkeeper's laptop, a named analyst triages it, contains it remotely, and calls leadership before the team arrives.
Security Operations Centre (SOC)
Co-managed SOC coverage with documented runbooks for ransomware, business email compromise, credential theft, and lost-device scenarios common in field-heavy environments.
Incident Response and Forensics
A documented incident-response plan with clear roles, communication paths, and evidence-preservation steps. On-site forensics scheduled within hours of containment once the blast radius is controlled remotely.
Phishing Simulation and Training
Quarterly phishing campaigns tuned to industry-specific lures (fake invoices for trades, fake EMR notices for clinics, fake studio memos for production). Targeted retraining for users who click, with reporting for leadership.
Dark Web and Identity Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of dark-web marketplaces for credentials, domains, and executive identities linked to your Maple Ridge organisation, with takedown coordination where actionable.
Industry-Specific Threats We Defend Against in Maple Ridge
Maple Ridge industries face different threat patterns. Trades firms see BEC wire fraud and stolen field devices. Clinics face ransomware against EMR systems. Productions face script leaks and dailies theft. The stack is tuned to the threat, not to a generic catalogue.
Construction and Trades
BEC and wire fraud against bookkeepers, stolen tablets at job sites, and supplier-impersonation scams. MDR + MFA + phishing simulation tuned to construction-industry lures.
Manufacturing and Industrial
Ransomware targeting production downtime in Maple Ridge Industrial Park and Albion. OT segmentation, immutable backups, and ERP-aware playbooks.
Healthcare and Clinics
Ransomware against EMR systems in the Ridge Meadows Hospital corridor. Healthcare-aware MDR playbooks, file-share anti-ransomware, and BC PIPA breach-notification ready to go.
Film and TV Production
Script leaks, dailies theft, and BEC against production accountants on shoots in Memorial Peace Park, Hammond, and rural Whonnock. Short-engagement SOC coverage for the duration of the shoot.
Professional Services
BEC, invoice fraud, and credential theft against accounting, legal, and insurance firms in Town Centre. MDR + MFA + email hardening + dark-web monitoring.
Retail and Hospitality
POS malware, gift-card fraud, and Wi-Fi pivoting at Haney Place Mall and Dewdney Trunk Road tenants. Network segmentation, EDR on back-of-house, and PCI-aware monitoring.
Compliance-Ready IT Baseline for Maple Ridge Businesses
Every Maple Ridge business we onboard receives a documented security baseline aligned to the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security baseline controls and the requirements your cyber insurance carrier is asking about on renewal questionnaires. This is the same baseline we apply to our own infrastructure, not a stripped-down small-business version.
Identity and access. Microsoft Entra ID with Conditional Access policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement on every account, and compliant-device sign-in checks.
Endpoint protection. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) on every Windows, Mac, and mobile device, deployed and active before the user receives the laptop or tablet.
Disk encryption. BitLocker on Windows and FileVault on Mac, key-escrowed centrally so a lost tablet at a job site does not become a data breach.
Email hardening. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment plus anti-phishing and impersonation-protection rules tuned to your industry.
Backup and recovery. Managed backups with documented retention and quarterly restore tests so you know recovery actually works before an incident.
BC PIPA and PIPEDA aware. Audit logging, role-based access, and breach-notification process documentation kept up to date with the current Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada guidance.
Hardware Procurement and Secure Disposal in Maple Ridge
Hexafusion operates as a Dell authorized reseller and full-service IT supplier for Maple Ridge businesses, with access to authorized Canadian distribution channels for Lenovo, Apple, Microsoft Surface, ruggedised tablets, and networking gear from Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, SonicWall, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Juniper. Secure procurement is part of the security program, not a sales transaction. Every laptop and tablet arrives at the user pre-imaged with the security baseline above, enrolled in Microsoft Autopilot, and ready to power on.
At end-of-life we handle decommissioning to a standard your auditor will accept. Drive sanitisation follows NIST Special Publication 800-88 guidelines (cryptographic erasure for SSDs, multi-pass wipe for spinning drives), every retired device generates a serial-numbered certificate of destruction for your PIPEDA breach-notification record-keeping, and devices beyond economic refurbishment are recycled through programs accredited by the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA Canada).
Who you actually work with in Maple Ridge
Hexafusion is led by founder Alex Barari, a former PCI DSS Internal Security Assessor with 15+ years in enterprise IT and cybersecurity. Cybersecurity operations are led by named analysts and the same engineers who designed the controls. We are the team that gets paged at 3 a.m., not a marketing layer between you and someone else's SOC. The first containment action is taken before any decision is made about whether to drive out.
Our quarterly business review (QBR) is a real strategic report, not a generic newsletter: engagement health score, financial recap, onboarding progress, renewal calendar, and an AI-summarised executive paragraph delivered as a PDF to every client at the end of every calendar quarter. See the QBR page for a worked example.
