ShieldIT

Managed IT & cybersecurity

IT that works in the background, so your team can get on with their work.

One team watches, fixes, protects and backs up your technology, and answers when your people call. One monthly price per user. Pick the level of protection that fits today, and move up when you're ready.

Three plans. Every one fully managed.

Each plan builds on the last. We recommend Business for most teams; regulated work chooses Business Pro. 24/7 automated monitoring on every plan, and a human security team around the clock from Business up.

ShieldIT Essential

Protection and support for one fixed monthly cost.

The starting point every business needs. If you're still paying a technician by the hour, and only when something breaks, you're gambling with your uptime and your budget.

Essential replaces that uncertainty with automated round-the-clock monitoring and a helpdesk your team can call on business days, for a fixed monthly cost. No downtime you didn't see coming. Just the essentials.

Book a 20-minute call

From “who do we call?” to a plan you can see, in four steps.

  1. A 20-minute call

    You tell us how your business runs and what's not working. If we're a fit, a written proposal follows.

  2. Onboarding

    We document your setup and close the gaps we find, while your team keeps working.

  3. Day to day

    We watch, patch, protect and back up your systems, and your people call one helpdesk.

  4. Regular reviews

    We look at what happened, what's coming, and what your technology should do next.

Your backup can stay in Canada. The rest, we map.

Backup and disaster-recovery data can be hosted in a Canadian region. Some operational and security platforms process in the US or EU. We show you what lives where, system by system, so your privacy answers are documented rather than assumed.

What owners ask us 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?

“It costs more than what I pay now.”

Compare the whole bill, not the monthly line: the emergency invoices, the hours your team loses when something stops, and what a bad day would cost. Then ask your current provider, in writing, who responds to a security incident and how fast. Break-fix gets paid when things break; we get paid to keep them running.

“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.

Let's talk for 20 minutes.

A short phone call. You tell us what's slowing you down or worrying you; we tell you plainly what we'd do about it, and whether we're the right fit. No preparation needed.
