Most small offices don't know where their IT actually stands until something breaks. The assessment gives you that picture in advance. We focus on the areas that cause the most downtime and the most expensive incidents for small and medium businesses.

  • Security basics. Multi-factor authentication, admin accounts, antivirus/endpoint protection, patching and the obvious gaps attackers look for first.
  • Email and Microsoft 365 (or Google Workspace). Sign-in protection, sharing settings, phishing defences, and who has access to what.
  • Backups. What's backed up, where, how often, and whether anyone has ever tested a restore. See why backups quietly fail.
  • Network and Wi-Fi. Firewall, router age and firmware, guest Wi-Fi separation and remote access.
  • Computers and devices. Age, warranty, operating system support dates and disk encryption, so you can plan replacements instead of reacting to failures.
  • Privacy obligations. For clinics, law firms and other offices holding personal information, the technical controls that support BC's PIPA and PIPEDA. We're not lawyers, but we can show you what's in place.

What you get

  • A short written summary of risks, ranked by importance and rough cost to fix
  • Quick wins you can do yourself or with your current provider
  • An honest recommendation, which may be "your current setup is fine"

Questions

Free IT assessment: common questions

Is the assessment really free?

Yes. There's no charge and no obligation to sign up for managed IT or any project afterwards.

Do you charge for travel to our office?

No. On-site assessments are free for any business location within 300 km of our Abbotsford office. Not sure if you're inside that radius? Call us at (236) 258-3060.

What does managed IT cost if we go ahead?

Managed IT support is $95 per user per month (minimum 5 users, 1-year agreement). Microsoft 365 licences, after-hours support and on-site visits are extra, and on-site visits are free if we can't fix the problem remotely. The assessment itself is free, and there's no obligation to sign up. See what's included in managed IT support.

Who is it for?

Any business or organization, whatever its size: there's no minimum or maximum number of users. That includes medical, dental and other healthcare practices, law firms, professional offices and non-profits.

We already have an IT provider. Can we still book one?

Yes. A second opinion is useful, and many findings are things your current provider can fix. We also offer co-managed IT if you'd like to keep your existing team and add support.

Will you need our passwords?

No. We review settings with you, using your own sign-ins while you watch, and don't ask you to hand over credentials for the assessment.
