What a Fully Managed IT Department Covers in Maple Ridge
Managed IT is end-to-end. If it touches a screen, a network port, a phone, or a tradesperson's tablet, it is in scope. Below is the full stack a Maple Ridge client receives on one plan, with one team accountable for all of it.
24/7 Monitoring and Cybersecurity
EDR on every endpoint, MDR with named SOC analysts, 24/7 alerting, immutable backups, phishing simulation, and dark-web identity monitoring. Containment is a console action, not a windshield trip.
Microsoft 365 and Cloud
Tenant administration, licensing optimisation, Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Intune, Entra ID, and Conditional Access. Plus Azure, AWS, and Google Workspace where relevant.
Network, Wi-Fi, and Mobile
Firewall, switching, Wi-Fi, VPN, mobile device management for tradesperson tablets and phones, vehicle-mount kits, and shop-yard coverage. Includes the carrier relationship for ISP outages.
Backup, DR, and Business Continuity
Managed backups for endpoints, servers, and Microsoft 365 data with documented retention. Quarterly restore tests. Documented business-continuity plan so a flood, fire, or ransomware does not become an existential event.
Strategy, vCIO, and Procurement
Quarterly business reviews with a named vCIO, written technology roadmap, vendor and renewal management, and hardware procurement as an authorized Dell reseller. Same team, same plan.
Industries We Run IT For in Maple Ridge
Maple Ridge industries have very different operational rhythms. A trades crew leaves the yard at 5:30 a.m. A clinic opens at 8 a.m. and books patients in 15-minute slots. A production runs 14-hour shoot days. Managed IT is tuned to each rhythm, not delivered from a single 9-to-5 template.
Construction and Trades
End-to-end ownership of dispatch software, field tablets, mobile device management, ruggedised hardware, and an SMS-first ticketing path for foremen and field staff. Helpdesk starts when the crew does.
Manufacturing and Industrial
Maple Ridge Industrial Park and Albion manufacturers get ERP support, OT/IT segmentation, shop-floor device management, and overnight maintenance windows that match production schedules.
Healthcare and Clinics
EMR administration, BC PIPA-aware identity, clinic-hours helpdesk, multi-site standardisation across Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, and secure messaging for the Ridge Meadows Hospital corridor.
Film and TV Production (Permanent Facilities)
Studios with year-round operations in Maple Ridge get managed IT for the permanent facility. Active shoots are scoped as fixed-price project engagements alongside the managed plan.
Retail and Hospitality
POS and payment-platform administration, Wi-Fi management, after-hours maintenance windows, and multi-site rollout coordination for Haney Place Mall and Dewdney Trunk Road tenants.
Professional Services and Agriculture
Accounting, legal, insurance, and bookkeeping firms in Town Centre, plus agri-business and rural operators in east Maple Ridge with connectivity, field-data, and seasonal staffing needs.
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 Lifecycle Support 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 (Panasonic Toughbook, Samsung Tab Active), vehicle-mount kits, and networking gear from Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, SonicWall, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Juniper. Procurement is included in the managed scope, not billed as a separate transaction. Every device is on a documented lifecycle so the next refresh is budgeted before it is urgent.
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 Maple Ridge
Hexafusion is led by founder Alex Barari, a former PCI DSS Internal Security Assessor with 15+ years in enterprise IT and cybersecurity. A fully managed engagement means one accountable team, not a switchboard between separate helpdesk, security, M365, and project vendors. The same engineers run the helpdesk, deploy the laptops, watch the alerts, and own the strategic roadmap. On-site days for Maple Ridge are scheduled and consolidated so the drive becomes a productive visit.
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.
