A small or mid-sized business (10 to 500 employees) in Metro Vancouver or the Lower Mainland - Looking for flat-rate predictable managed IT (no surprise hourly bills) - Renewing cyber insurance and needs documented EDR, MFA, backup, awareness training, and incident response - Preparing for PIPEDA or BC PIPA compliance, including 72-hour breach response readiness - Accepting payment cards and needs PCI DSS v4.0.1 scoping and SAQ work (uniquely served by a former Internal Security Assessor) - A SaaS or B2B technology company needing SOC 2 Type 2 readiness for enterprise procurement - A FINTRAC reporting entity needing IT controls behind the AML compliance program - A regulated BC business (dental, medical, legal, accounting, real estate, financial services) needing industry-specific compliance overlay on top of privacy law Hexafusion is not a fit for: individuals or households (B2B only), enterprises above 500 staff with internal IT teams of their own, or businesses needing only one-time break-fix work (we are a flat-rate managed service model). ## Editorial principles Hexafusion content is written from first-hand operational experience, not generic templates.
