Question 1

How much does managed IT cost for a Canadian business?

Accepted Answer

It depends on user count, locations, support scope, security requirements, and how much damage is already being done by reactive IT. A 25-user single-office business is not the same as a 90-user multi-site firm dealing with insurer questionnaires and compliance pressure. That is why we start by measuring what poor IT is already costing you in downtime, delays, and security gaps, then scope the right support model from there.

Question 2

What is a vCISO, and when does a business need one?

Accepted Answer

If nobody owns security, it gets dealt with only after an incident, a renewal deadline, or a client questionnaire lands in your inbox. A vCISO gives you senior security leadership without hiring a full-time executive. Fusion helps set priorities, guide policy, answer insurer and client security questions, and build a more defensible baseline without adding a $200K salary to payroll.

Question 3

Do you provide on-site support, or is everything remote?

Accepted Answer

Both. Remote support is usually the fastest way to solve day-to-day issues, but some work should be done on-site: office moves, network gear, workstation deployments, onboarding, cabling, and project work. Fusion supports clients locally across the GTA and Metro Vancouver, with staffed presence in both markets, and remotely across Canada.

Question 4

What does CIS Controls v8.1 alignment mean in practice?

Accepted Answer

It means your IT and security program is being built against a recognized framework instead of a stack of disconnected tools and good intentions. Fusion uses CIS Controls v8.1 to tighten the areas that matter most to SMBs: identity, endpoints, patching, backup and recovery readiness, and user risk. That gives you a stronger operating baseline and a better answer when insurers, clients, or vendors start asking hard questions.

Question 5

Can you take over from our current IT provider without disrupting the business?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if the transition is handled properly. We do not treat onboarding like paperwork. We review access, validate backups, document systems, clean up stale admin rights, and fix obvious security issues early. Fusion has taken over environments where backups were not working, servers were unpatched, and credentials had been sitting unchanged for years. The goal is not just to switch providers. It is to come out of the switch in a better position than you started.

Question 6

Can you help with cyber insurance and security questionnaires?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most businesses do not lose time on security because they love paperwork. They lose time because insurers, clients, and vendors now expect real answers. Fusion helps close the gaps that keep coming up: MFA, endpoint protection, patching, backup validation, recovery planning, and security governance. The point is not to check boxes. The point is to make sure your environment stands up when it is tested.

Question 7

Can you help us use AI without building an enterprise IT team first?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fusion helps Canadian SMBs deploy practical AI, including Microsoft Copilot, workflow automation, and AI agents, without pretending you need a data science department first. We start with real bottlenecks, real manual work, and the security basics that should be in place before automation expands. If the result is not saving time, reducing friction, or improving output, it is not the right AI project.
