IT Support & Cybersecurity for Architecture, Engineering & Design Firms

Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Bluebeam, Navisworks, and rendering tools like Enscape, Lumion, and V-Ray demand workstations with high-end GPUs, fast storage, and properly configured drivers. Generic IT providers treat design workstations like office PCs. The result is slow model loads, rendering failures, and lost billable hours.

Design files routinely reach multiple gigabytes. BIM models require worksharing across central or cloud-hosted models. When your network, storage, or cloud sync cannot keep up, teams lose time waiting for files to open, save, or sync — and version conflicts can corrupt hours of work.

Your designs are your product. Project plans, proprietary design methods, client briefs, and bid documents are high-value targets. A breach does not just expose data — it can compromise competitive advantage and client trust.

Permit submissions, client presentations, bid deadlines, and construction start dates are fixed. An IT failure during a deadline window does not just cause inconvenience — it can cost the project.

Fusion Computing has supported architecture, engineering, and design firms in the Greater Toronto Area for years. Since 2012, we have built our managed IT and cybersecurity practice around deadline-driven, high-dependency business environments where performance and uptime matter.

We support environments that include Revit worksharing, multi-seat AutoCAD deployments, rendering workflows, and BIM coordination across distributed teams. Our CEO holds the CISSP certification, one of the most recognized senior cybersecurity credentials in the field.

We align our security operations to CIS Controls v8.1, providing a defensible, documented security baseline that supports cyber insurance requirements, client due diligence, and project security expectations from general contractors and building owners.

Certified security leadership

We configure, manage, and optimize high-performance design workstations for Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Bluebeam, and rendering applications. This includes GPU driver management, RAM and NVMe storage configuration, Autodesk licensing, and proactive performance monitoring.

We support Autodesk products including Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, BIM Collaborate Pro, and Autodesk Docs, as well as SketchUp, Rhino, Bluebeam Revu, Adobe Creative Suite, and rendering tools including Enscape, Lumion, V-Ray, and 3ds Max.

We design and maintain storage and networking infrastructure that handles large design files without bottlenecks. This includes file server optimization, cloud sync for Autodesk Construction Cloud, worksharing and central model management, and version control.

When a project architect cannot open a central model, a rendering job fails, or Bluebeam stops annotating before a client review, your team calls one number. 93% of tickets resolved on the first call.

24/7 monitoring through Huntress managed detection and response, endpoint protection, email security, and vulnerability scanning. We detect and respond to threats before they reach your project data or intellectual property.

Encrypted, air-gapped backups tested regularly. If ransomware hits during an active project, your systems are restored without paying a ransom. We maintain point-in-time recovery so you do not lose design files or project documentation.

industry Cybersecurity Guidance

industry has published guidance on cybersecurity risk management and SOC for Cybersecurity reporting. Firms are expected to demonstrate that they have implemented reasonable security controls to protect client data. Fusion’s CIS Controls v8.1 alignment provides a structured, documented framework that supports these expectations.

CyberSecure Canada

CyberSecure Canada is a Government of Canada certification program for SMBs. Fusion can scope services to support your firm’s readiness across its core control areas, including incident response, patching, access control, backups, encryption, and employee awareness.
