Cybersecurity for West Vancouver Businesses
Cybersecurity in West Vancouver is an HNW-targeted problem. Wealth managers, family offices, boutique law and accounting practices, and real estate brokerages along Marine Drive are high-value targets for business email compromise, wire-fraud impersonation, and credential-theft attacks researched from public sources. Hexafusion runs 24/7 endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed detection and response (MDR), incident response, dark web monitoring, and phishing simulation tuned to the threats West Van firms actually face. Written into your cyber-insurance renewal.

What 24/7 Cybersecurity Includes in West Vancouver
Six operational layers running together, every day, tuned to West Van's threat profile. Each one catches what the layer before it missed. Each one is part of the standard managed cybersecurity scope, not an upsell.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Behavioural endpoint protection on every Windows, Mac, and server, including principal home-office laptops in British Properties and Caulfeild. Catches the ransomware and credential-theft activity that antivirus signatures miss.
Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
EDR telemetry 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.
Wire-Fraud & BEC Defence
The defining threat to West Van wealth managers, law firms, and real estate brokerages. Impersonation-protection rules on the inbox, banking-update verification workflows, conditional-access blocks on impossible-travel sign-ins, and tuned alerts for principal-impersonation attempts.
Dark Web & Credential Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of breach dumps, paste sites, and underground marketplaces for credentials tied to the firm's domain and the principals' personal addresses. Compromised credentials are rotated within hours.
Phishing Simulation & Training
Monthly simulated phishing campaigns tuned to West Van industry lures: CRA impersonation in tax season, real-estate wire-update fraud, vendor banking-update fraud, custody-platform credential lures, and Park Royal vendor-portal lures. Baseline click rates drop from 25-30 percent to under 5 percent inside a year.
Incident Response Runbook
A documented 5-step process every West Van client runs against: contain, investigate, eradicate, recover, lessons. Quarterly tabletop exercises with the partners' meeting. Written incident reports go to leadership, the insurer, the firm's lawyer, and any regulator.
Industry-Specific Threats We Defend Against in West Vancouver
Generic security templates miss the threats West Van firms actually face. The threat playbook is tuned per vertical, and the phishing simulations are too.
Wealth Management & Family Offices
Principal-impersonation BEC, custody-platform credential stuffing, fake-tax-document lures, and account-takeover defence for Ambleside and British Properties practices.
Boutique Law & Accounting
Trust-account wire fraud, conveyancing BEC, fake-court-filing lures, and CRA-tax-season impersonation for Dundarave and Ambleside firms.
Real Estate Brokerage
Deposit-redirection wire fraud, closing-instruction tampering, and lawyer-impersonation BEC for brokerages along Marine Drive and around Park Royal.
Park Royal Retail & Hospitality
Point-of-sale malware, gift-card fraud, vendor-portal credential stuffing, and PCI scope monitoring for tenants at Park Royal North and South.
Specialty Clinics
EMR ransomware defence, insurance-claim phishing, and BC PIPA breach-response support for small Ambleside and Park Royal clinics.
Marina & Ferry-Adjacent
Seasonal-load fraud monitoring, peak-season POS resilience, and supply-chain attack defence for Horseshoe Bay hospitality and marine-services tenants.
Compliance-Ready IT Baseline for West Vancouver Businesses
Every West 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.
Endpoint 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. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment plus anti-phishing and impersonation-protection rules tuned to wealth, legal, brokerage, and Park Royal retail workflows.
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 West Vancouver
Hexafusion operates as a Dell authorized reseller and full-service IT supplier for West 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, including principal home-office devices delivered direct to British Properties and Caulfeild addresses, 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 (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 West 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 West Van wealth manager, 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 the partners' meeting.
Our quarterly business review (QBR) 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 to every client at the end of every calendar quarter. See the QBR page for a worked example.

Endpoint isolation
Automated
High-confidence threats trigger automatic network isolation of the affected endpoint before a human is paged. Lateral movement is stopped at the device.

Drive time from our downtown Vancouver office (997 Seymour St, Suite 250) via Lions Gate Bridge, outside peak windows. Most containment is achieved remotely before a vehicle moves.
Written incident report
Same business day
Preliminary incident summary delivered same business day. Final report with timeline, root cause, and lessons within 5 business days.
24/7 SOC coverage and minute-level critical-alert triage apply to Enterprise plan clients. Professional plans receive business-hours triage with automated containment running around the clock. Emergency on-site windows for West Vancouver depend on Lions Gate Bridge conditions, weather, and winter snowfall on the upper British Properties and Cypress Park roads. Force-majeure events are handled on a best-effort basis.
