Scope Coverage
Full IT department in scope: ops, security, strategy, vendors.
Pricing Model
Flat monthly rate. Scales with your unit count. One unit is one user, one computer and one email address, and we count whichever is highest. For example, 10 staff with 10 computers and 15 licensed email accounts (10 for staff, 5 for board members or contractors) count as 15 units.
Onboarding
Full environment documented within 30 days. The doc is yours.
In plain terms: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds a second step at sign-in, so a stolen password alone cannot open a staff account.
Coverage Areas
City Centre, Whalley, Newton, Cloverdale, Guildford, South Surrey, Fleetwood, Port Kells
What a Fully Managed IT Department Covers in Surrey
Six pillars run as one engagement, with one accountable team. There is no second vendor to call when something crosses a boundary. There is no question about which line of the invoice applies. The plan is the IT department.
In plain terms: A security operations centre (SOC) is a team of security analysts that monitors and responds to threats 24/7, reducing the time an attacker has inside the organization. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) watches every computer for attacks and stops them on one device before they spread across the organization. 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.
24/7 Monitoring, Cybersecurity & security operations centre (SOC)
Server and device monitoring around the clock. EDR on every device, managed detection and response (MDR) coverage on every plan, and a documented incident-response runbook. The operations side of security under the same predictable monthly plan.
Vendor & Contract Management
Internet service provider (ISP), telecom, line-of-business software (Procore, EMR, DMS, ERP), hardware distribution. We hold the relationships, take the support calls, and negotiate renewals so your leadership stops being the switchboard for vendor escalations.
Hardware Procurement & Lifecycle
Dell authorized reseller, plus authorized channels for Lenovo, Apple, Microsoft Surface, ruggedised field tablets, and networking gear. Laptops arrive pre-imaged, security-baselined, and ready to power on. Lifecycle replacement is budgeted on the roadmap.
Onboarding & Offboarding Workflow
New hires get accounts, hardware, MFA, and access on day one. Departures trigger documented account disablement, device retrieval, and data preservation. HR sends one form, we handle the rest.
Virtual chief information officer (vCIO) Strategy & QBR Cadence
A virtual CIO at the leadership table on the Enterprise plan. Quarterly business reviews with a real PDF report. Strategy is part of the department, not an add-on.
Industries We Run IT For in Surrey
A fully managed IT engagement looks different for a Port Kells logistics operator than it does for an accounting firm in City Centre. Scope, vendor mix, hardware mix, and security profile are tuned to your industry, not pulled off a template shelf.
Construction and Trades
Full IT department for Surrey construction and trades firms: head-office helpdesk in Newton or Cloverdale, Procore administration, field-staff hardware, LTE-failover, and mobile multi-factor authentication (MFA) across 40+ active job sites.
Manufacturing and Logistics
Office IT, shop-floor OT, ruggedised devices, ERP, WMS, and yard-management support, and shift-aware coverage for Port Kells, Newton industrial, and Cloverdale industrial operations.
Innovation Boulevard Tech
Full-stack IT for Innovation Boulevard health-tech and SaaS startups around SFU Surrey and Surrey Memorial that need IT to scale alongside engineering headcount and pass customer security questionnaires.
Healthcare and Clinics
Full IT ownership for multi-site specialty clinics around Surrey Memorial Hospital, Jim Pattison Outpatient Centre, and the South Surrey medical strip. EMR support, imaging integration, and BC PIPA-aware operations.
Professional Services
Accounting, legal, real-estate, and consulting firms in City Centre and South Surrey that want one IT department, not three vendors and a part-time hire.
Automotive and Retail
Multi-site automotive dealerships along King George Boulevard and Fraser Highway, and retailers at Guildford Town Centre and Central City Shopping Centre with DMS, POS, and corporate-network handoffs.
Compliance-Ready IT Baseline for Surrey Businesses
Every Surrey 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. Phishing is a fake email or message designed to trick staff into giving away passwords or money.
- 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 Surrey
Hexafusion operates as a Dell authorized reseller and full-service IT supplier for Surrey businesses, with access to authorized Canadian distribution channels for Lenovo, Apple, Microsoft Surface, ruggedised field tablets, and networking gear from Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, SonicWall, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and Juniper. Procurement is part of the managed service, not a sales transaction. Every laptop arrives at the user pre-imaged with the security baseline above, enrolled in Microsoft Autopilot, and ready to power on.
At end-of-life we handle decommissioning with the same care as deployment. 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 Surrey
Hexafusion is led by founder Alex Barari, a former PCI DSS Internal Security Assessor with 15+ years in enterprise IT and cybersecurity. The managed-IT engagement is delivered by a Vancouver-based team that owns the whole relationship. There is no offshore tier-one queue, no franchised regional escalation chain, no script handed to a stranger when the issue gets hard.
Our technology business review 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 once a year on Managed and Managed Pro, and every quarter on Enterprise. See the QBR page for a worked example.
