Industries — Construction
Keep crews, drawings and payments moving — from the office to the job site.
Your crews work from job sites, trucks and the office — often on the same project files. We keep those systems connected, backed up and protected, so tech problems get handled before they stall the build.
Sound familiar? It usually starts like this.
6:30 a.m. The site super can't open the latest drawings.
The crew is standing around, on the clock.
A subcontractor “updates” their banking details by email.
The progress payment goes to someone else.
A laptop with every open bid on it is stolen from a truck.
Was anything backed up? Was it encrypted?
Illustrative scenarios, not client cases.
The risk
One stolen password can stop every crew
Crews share logins and laptops move from site to site. When project files or scheduling systems get locked up, every idle crew and missed deadline costs real money.

What changes
Built for the field
Secure remote access for mobile crews, protected project files, and backup that gives you a way back from a lost laptop or a ransomware hit — practical security for how construction actually works.
- Secure remote access for job-site and mobile teams
- Credential protection & MFA — making stolen passwords, the most common way in, far less useful
- 24/7 managed detection & response (Business and up) and ransomware protection
- Enterprise backup so project files can be recovered after a failure
- One flat monthly rate per user that scales with your crew

Canadian, and honest about your data
NANOITS Canada Inc. is based in Vancouver. Your backup and disaster-recovery data can be hosted in Canada; where other systems process (some in the US or EU), we show you, system by system.
One monthly price, scope in writing
One monthly price per user covers the management, security and helpdesk in your plan. What isn't included (onsite visits, projects) is quoted separately and approved by you before any work starts.
Response times you can hold us to
Written targets for critical issues in every plan: Essential 4 h · Business 2 h · Business Pro 1 h.
Built for how your industry works
Law firms, clinics, dental practices, construction and growing businesses each carry different risks. We set up the same service around yours.
Construction & Trades, answered.
Our people aren't at desks — can you support mobile crews?
Yes. We secure and support laptops, phones and tablets in the field with remote monitoring, secure access and MFA.
What happens if a device is lost or a site gets hit with ransomware?
Enterprise backup and tested recovery give you a way to restore project data, and managed detection & response works to stop an attack before it spreads.
How is it priced?
One flat monthly rate per user for the management, security and helpdesk in your plan — no break-fix bill when something breaks mid-project. Onsite visits and projects are quoted separately and approved by you first.
“I already have an IT person.”
Keep them. If you have a dedicated IT person, ShieldIT Co-Manage puts 24/7 security monitoring, enterprise tools and senior backup behind them. If IT is one of several hats someone wears, a managed plan takes it off their desk. Either way, ask yourself: if they left tomorrow, who else knows the passwords, the network and the backups?
“I don't want to be locked in.”
You choose a 12-, 18- or 24-month term. The monthly rate per user is the same on all three — a longer term only lowers the one-time onboarding fee. Early-exit terms are written in plain language in the agreement, before you sign. At the end of the term it renews for no more than 12 months: we remind you 60 days ahead, and you can decline up to 30 days before the end. Month-to-month is available on request, at a higher rate.
