Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Behavioural device protection on every Windows, Mac, and server. Catches the ransomware and credential-theft activity that antivirus signatures miss. Now the floor for cyber-insurance underwriting.
24/7 Cybersecurity Operations · North Vancouver, BC
Cybersecurity for North Vancouver Businesses
Cybersecurity is an operations problem, not a one-time project. Hexafusion runs 24/7 endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed detection and response (MDR), security operations centre coverage, incident response, dark web monitoring, and phishing simulation for businesses across North Vancouver. With managed detection and response (MDR), security analysts watch alerts 24/7 and respond, so an attack at night is contained before the next business day. The dark web is where criminals trade stolen passwords and data; monitoring it means leaked staff credentials are found and secured early. Phishing is a fake email or message designed to trick staff into giving away passwords or money. Built for ransomware-era threats, written into your cyber-insurance renewal, and engineered around the bridge dependency so containment is never delayed by traffic.

What 24/7 Cybersecurity Includes in North Vancouver
Six operational layers running together, every day. Each one catches what the layer before it missed. Each one is part of the standard managed cybersecurity scope for North Vancouver clients, not an upsell.
In plain terms: A vulnerability is a weakness in software or settings that attackers can use to break in, steal data or shut down systems, which can stop operations and cost the organization money. Vulnerability scanning regularly checks systems for weaknesses that attackers can use to break in, such as missing updates or risky settings, so they are resolved before they disrupt operations.
Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
EDR security data forwarded to a 24/7 security operations centre staffed by human analysts. Alerts are triaged, false positives discarded, and real threats handed back to Hexafusion for containment and recovery.
Incident Response Runbook
A documented 5-step process every North Vancouver client runs against: contain, investigate, eradicate, recover, lessons. Quarterly tabletop exercises keep the runbook live. Written incident reports go to leadership, insurer, legal, and any regulator.
Dark Web & Credential Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of breach dumps, paste sites, and underground marketplaces for credentials tied to your domain. Compromised credentials are surfaced within hours and rotated before an attacker reuses them.
Phishing Simulation & Training
Monthly simulated phishing campaigns tuned to industry-specific lures (CRA impersonation, EMR password resets for Lions Gate corridor clinics, ticketing-platform impersonation for tourism operators, vendor banking-update fraud for outdoor and sportswear suppliers). Just-in-time training the moment a user clicks.
Vulnerability & Attack-Surface Monitoring
Continuous external attack-surface monitoring, monthly internal vulnerability scans, and cloud-posture management with prioritised remediation. SOC 2 and cyber-insurance ready.
Industry-Specific Threats We Defend Against in North Vancouver
Generic security templates miss the threats your industry actually faces. The threat playbook is tuned per vertical, and the phishing simulations are too.
Healthcare and Specialty Clinics
EMR ransomware defence, insurance-claim phishing, and BC PIPA breach response for clinics in the Lions Gate Hospital corridor and along Central Lonsdale.
Tech Startups and Software
Source-code repository protection, build-pipeline integrity, and credential-stealer detection for Lower Lonsdale and Shipyards-District tenants. Customer security questionnaires answered with real evidence.
Outdoor and Sportswear
Design-IP theft, vendor banking-update fraud, supply-chain attacks, and seasonal-spike-aware monitoring for the outdoor cluster anchored by Arc'teryx.
Tourism and Recreation
Point-of-sale malware, gift-card fraud, ticketing-platform ransomware, and PCI scope monitoring for high-visitor operators including Grouse Mountain, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Mount Seymour, and Lynn Canyon visitor centres.
Professional Services
Business email compromise (BEC), wire-fraud impersonation, and trust-account protection for legal and accounting firms in Central Lonsdale and Edgemont Village.
Film and Post-Production
Content leak prevention, watermarking, and MPA-aligned network segmentation for post-production houses on the North Shore working with studio deliverables. Network segmentation places guest Wi-Fi, payment terminals and staff computers on separate networks, so a problem in one area cannot reach the others.
Compliance-Ready IT Baseline for North Vancouver Businesses
Every North Vancouver 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.
- Device protection. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) on every Windows, Mac, and mobile device, deployed and active before the user receives the laptop.
- Disk encryption. BitLocker on Windows and FileVault on Mac, key-escrowed centrally so a lost device does not become a data breach.
- Email hardening. email authentication protections (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 North Vancouver
Hexafusion operates as a Dell authorized reseller and full-service IT supplier for North Vancouver businesses, with access to authorized Canadian distribution channels for Lenovo, Apple, Microsoft Surface, and networking gear from Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, SonicWall, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Juniper. Every laptop arrives pre-imaged with the security baseline, EDR active, and MFA enforced before the user touches it. Hardware is part of the security perimeter, not separate from it.
At end-of-life we handle decommissioning to a standard your insurer will accept. Drive sanitisation follows NIST Special Publication 800-88 guidelines (secure data erasure suited to each drive type), 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 North Vancouver
Hexafusion is led by founder Alex Barari, a former PCI DSS Internal Security Assessor with 15+ years in enterprise IT and cybersecurity. When an incident lands at 2 a.m. for a North Vancouver client, the response is led by people who have run real investigations, not a junior analyst escalating to a call centre. The same team writes the runbook, watches the alerts, and presents the post-incident review to your leadership.
Our technology business review is a real strategic report, not a generic newsletter: engagement health score, financial recap, security-event summary, renewal calendar, and an AI-summarised executive paragraph delivered as a PDF once a year on Managed and Managed Pro, and every quarter on Enterprise. See the QBR page for a worked example.
