What Strategic IT Services Includes in White Rock
Strategic IT is the layer above the helpdesk. It is what determines whether your technology supports the practice or quietly limits it. Each service below is delivered by named people on a documented cadence, not on request.
Technology Roadmap and Budget
A written 12 to 36 month plan covering hardware lifecycle, software renewals, security investments, cloud migrations, and seasonal capacity. Refreshed quarterly and re-baselined annually so partners can budget with confidence even through the April-to-October tourism cycle.
vCIO Advisory
A virtual Chief Information Officer at the partner or owner table. We attend strategic planning, translate succession and growth goals into technology decisions, and present to lenders or family-office advisors when needed. Included on Professional and Enterprise plans.
Project Delivery
Marine Drive storefront fit-outs, one-room office moves to bigger Five Corners suites, Microsoft 365 migrations, client-portal launches, and Wi-Fi redesigns. Scoped up front, fixed-price, with a named project manager and a weekly status report you can forward.
Vendor and Contract Management
We hold the relationships with your ISP, telecom, line-of-business software vendors, payment processors, and hardware distribution. One throat to choke when things break, and one team negotiating renewals on your behalf.
Quarterly Business Reviews
Real strategic reports: engagement health score, financial recap, project status, renewal calendar, and an AI-summarised executive paragraph delivered as a PDF every quarter. See the QBR page for a worked example.
Operational Baseline Included
Strategic IT does not work without solid operations underneath it. Helpdesk, 24/7 monitoring, EDR, managed backup, and on-site support are all included on the same flat-rate plan, not a separate contract.
Industries We Plan With in White Rock
White Rock's industry mix is unusually concentrated in retirement-serving professional services, boutique retail, and seasonal hospitality. Strategic IT planning looks very different for a Marine Drive restaurant group than it does for a Five Corners estate-planning firm, and that is reflected in the roadmap we build for you.
Retirement-Focused Professional Services
Estate planning, wealth transfer, retirement-focused accounting, and senior-care advisory. Long client engagements, extended retention requirements, and partner-succession planning all sit on the roadmap.
Boutique Retail and Marine Drive Hospitality
POS lifecycle, payment-platform changes, guest Wi-Fi, and seasonal staffing IT for the boutiques and restaurants along Marine Drive and the pier promenade.
Healthcare and Specialty Clinics
EMR roadmaps, multi-room clinic standardisation, and BC PIPA-aware planning for dental, optometry, audiology, and specialty practices near Five Corners and along Johnston Road.
Real Estate Brokerage
CRM lifecycle, transaction-management platform refresh, e-signature integration, and mobile-agent device management for the very active White Rock and South Surrey market.
Cross-Border Operations
Businesses operating across the Peace Arch crossing with US clients, US bank accounts, or US-resident staff. Roadmaps include data-residency planning and FX-aware financial integration.
Home-Based and One-Room Offices
Solo lawyers, financial planners, and consultants operating from a single suite or a home office. Roadmaps emphasise managed Microsoft 365, secure remote access, and a continuity plan that does not depend on the principal being healthy.
Compliance-Ready IT Baseline for White Rock Businesses
Every White Rock 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 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 Lifecycle Planning in White Rock
Hexafusion operates as a Dell authorized reseller and full-service IT supplier for White Rock 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. Procurement is part of the roadmap, not a one-off sales transaction. Every laptop, server, and switch is on a documented lifecycle so the next refresh is budgeted before it is urgent, which matters especially for solo practitioners along Marine Drive who cannot absorb an unplanned capital outlay.
At end-of-life we handle decommissioning with the same discipline as deployment. Drive sanitisation follows NIST Special Publication 800-88 guidelines, 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 White Rock
Hexafusion is led by founder Alex Barari, a former PCI DSS Internal Security Assessor with 15+ years in enterprise IT and cybersecurity. Strategic engagements are led personally, not delegated to a junior account manager. The same team that builds your roadmap reviews the alerts at 2 a.m. and drives down Highway 99 when a project crosses the line from remote to hands-on.
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.
Why White Rock businesses choose Hexafusion for IT services

Named vCIO. Partners and owners know who is accountable for the technology agenda, not just who is on call.
Budget-friendly cadence. Quarterly roadmap refresh and annual re-baseline line up with how White Rock practices actually plan.
Project discipline. Fixed-price scopes, weekly status, and post-mortems on every project. No mystery invoices.
Vendor consolidation. We hold the contracts with ISP, telco, software, and hardware so owners stop being a switchboard.
Succession-aware. Documentation, credentials, and continuity built so a partner exit does not become an IT crisis.

Initial ticket response
Within 15 minutes
Operational baseline still applies. Every ticket is acknowledged by a real engineer within 15 minutes during contracted coverage hours.
Roadmap refresh and QBR cadence apply to Professional and Enterprise plans. Project scoping windows are targets and depend on response speed from your team and any third-party vendors involved. Fixed-price project scopes are built on documented assumptions; out-of-scope work is quoted separately before it is executed.
