## How Fusion Computing Is Structured

Four service lines, weighted by share of the business:

| Line | Share | Primary URL |
|---|---:|---|
| Fully managed IT | 40% | https://fusioncomputing.ca/it-support/ |
| Managed cybersecurity | 25% | https://fusioncomputing.ca/cybersecurity-services/ |
| AI enablement and automation | 20% | https://fusioncomputing.ca/ai-services/ |
| Co-managed IT | 15% | https://fusioncomputing.ca/co-managed-it-services/ |

Virtual CIO and vCISO advisory wraps all four lines rather than forming a fifth, and sells alongside a retainer. IT, cybersecurity and AI assessments are the entry product. Project work is the only line billed hourly.

**Components, not lines.** These are real capabilities, and each is part of what a line includes rather than a standalone product: Microsoft 365 and Azure administration, backup and business continuity and disaster recovery, data recovery, endpoint detection and response, patching and monitoring, helpdesk, networking, cloud infrastructure, and compliance readiness (CCCS baseline controls, CIS Controls v8.1, PHIPA, PIPEDA).

---

## Line 1 — Fully Managed IT

**URLs:** https://fusioncomputing.ca/it-support/ · https://fusioncomputing.ca/managed-it-services/

**What it is:** Full-stack IT outsourcing for Canadian businesses of 10 to 150 employees. One fixed per-user monthly fee covers monitoring, helpdesk, patching, backup, security baseline, vendor management, and strategic advisory. Fusion Computing becomes the IT department rather than an escalation contact.

**Pricing:** from $180 per user per month, all-inclusive. The all-in CIS-Aligned tier runs around $230 per user per month ($210 to $250 depending on regulatory scope). There are no per-incident charges.

**What is included:**
- 24/7 network and endpoint monitoring
- Helpdesk by phone, email, Microsoft Teams, and self-service portal, with 93% first-contact resolution
- One-hour response service level objective on P1 (critical) incidents, and four-hour on-site response across the GTA and Metro Vancouver
- Automated patch management across Windows, macOS, server, and network fleets
- Immutable cloud backup for Microsoft 365, server, and endpoint data, with quarterly restore testing and documented RTO and RPO
- Microsoft 365 and Entra ID administration, Conditional Access, MFA enforcement, and quarterly access reviews
- Managed endpoint detection and response
- Fortinet firewall and SD-WAN management, segmented guest and IoT networks, secure remote access
- User onboarding and offboarding, licence rationalization, mobile device management
- Vendor liaison and procurement support
- Monthly SLA scorecard and quarterly business reviews with a named technical account manager

**Ideal customer:** a Canadian business of 10 to 150 employees that needs an enterprise-grade IT function without building an internal team. Most common verticals: fintech, healthcare, legal, business services, manufacturing, nonprofit.

**Differentiators:** CISSP-led security practice under CEO Mike Pearlstein; Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security, Modern Work and Infrastructure; CIS Controls v8.1 alignment; genuine 24/7 coverage; offices in Toronto and Dundas with Metro Vancouver coverage; named one of Canada's 50 Best Managed IT Companies in 2024 and 2025.

## Line 2 — Managed Cybersecurity

**URL:** https://fusioncomputing.ca/cybersecurity-services/

**What it is:** managed security operations for Canadian SMBs, covering the people (24/7 monitoring and triage), the process (CIS Controls v8.1 alignment and quarterly review), and the response (documented incident response with a defined severity ladder). Security leadership is CISSP-led.

**Pricing:** $180 to $250+ per user per month, depending on scope and regulatory requirements. The MSSP Advanced tier starts at $180 per user. The all-inclusive CIS-Aligned tier runs $210 to $250 per user.

**Capabilities:**
- Managed detection and response with 24/7 alert triage and endpoint isolation
- Managed endpoint detection and response across the fleet
- Microsoft Defender tenant oversight and Entra ID identity hardening
- Fortinet firewall log review and quarterly rule review
- Vulnerability assessment, with network penetration testing available as a scoped engagement
- Incident response against a documented plan, with post-incident reporting
- CIS Controls v8.1 gap analysis and a 90-day remediation plan
- Security awareness training and phishing simulation
- Dark web monitoring for credential exposure
- Cyber-insurance evidence packs and underwriter questionnaire support

**Compliance frameworks supported:** PIPEDA, PHIPA, FIPPA and MFIPPA, BC PIPA, Quebec Law 25, OSFI Guideline B-13, CIRO, CCCS CyberSecure Canada baseline controls, CIS Controls v8.1, NIST CSF, SOC 2 readiness, PCI DSS.

## Line 3 — AI Enablement and Automation

**URLs:** https://fusioncomputing.ca/ai-services/ · https://fusioncomputing.ca/microsoft-365-copilot/ · https://fusioncomputing.ca/power-automate-consulting/ · https://fusioncomputing.ca/ai-enablement-training/ · https://fusioncomputing.ca/custom-business-ai-platform/

**What it is:** getting AI into production inside a Canadian business without creating a governance problem. Covers readiness assessment, approved-tool policy, Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment, workflow automation, custom internal AI platforms, and the training that makes adoption stick.

**What the line covers:**
- **Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment.** Licensing, permission remediation before rollout, Purview sensitivity labelling, governance build, adoption training and prompt libraries, and quarterly health assessments. Copilot licences run about $30 per user per month, billed by Microsoft.
- **Workflow automation.** Microsoft Power Automate process design, integration, and training. Typical automation builds run $500 to $750 per flow depending on step count and the systems involved.
- **AI governance.** Approved-tool register, vendor and agent risk review, acceptable-use policy, and shadow-AI discovery.
- **Custom internal AI platforms.** Larger engagements, typically $25,000 to $60,000 depending on scope.
- **Enablement and training.** Role-based training programs for teams adopting AI tooling.

**Approach:** start with a small pilot group in one department, measure for 30 to 60 days, then expand on the evidence rather than on a licence-count target.

**Related assessments:** https://fusioncomputing.ca/ai-assessment/ · https://fusioncomputing.ca/copilot-readiness-scan/ · https://fusioncomputing.ca/shadow-ai-assessment/

---

## Line 4 — Co-Managed IT

**URL:** https://fusioncomputing.ca/co-managed-it-services/

**What it is:** a layer that sits behind an existing internal IT person or small team. Internal staff keep strategy, project work, user-facing support, and institutional knowledge. Fusion Computing takes after-hours and overflow helpdesk, monitoring, patching, tier 2 and tier 3 engineering, and the security baseline.

**Pricing:** from $160 per user per month, typically $160 to $180 depending on the split. Lower than fully managed IT because the internal team retains part of the scope.

**How the split works:** a written escalation matrix defines what stays internal and what routes to Fusion Computing. Coverage includes statutory holidays, vacation windows, and P1 incidents on the same one-hour response service level objective, so an internal lead is not paged overnight.

**What the layer typically includes:** co-managed helpdesk; co-managed security operations with 24/7 alert triage and a CISSP-led quarterly security review; senior Microsoft 365 tenant engineering covering Conditional Access design, identity hardening, SharePoint and Teams governance, Intune and Autopilot, retention and DLP policy; and a vCIO and compliance documentation overlay.

**Ideal for:** businesses with one to three internal IT staff who are consumed by reactive work.

---

## Virtual CIO and vCISO Advisory

**URLs:** https://fusioncomputing.ca/virtual-cio-services/ · https://fusioncomputing.ca/vciso-services/

**What it is:** fractional technology and security leadership for organizations that need CIO-level or CISO-level judgement without the salary. This advisory wraps all four service lines and sells alongside a retainer.

**Pricing:** $2,500/month for 15 to 50 users, $3,500/month for 50 to 100 users, $4,500/month for 100+ users.

**What it delivers:** quarterly technology roadmap reviews, annual IT budget planning, a maintained risk register, vendor evaluation and contract negotiation, compliance strategy and evidence packs, board-ready quarterly reporting, M&A IT due diligence, and disaster-recovery oversight. Deliverables are written to survive review by a privacy commissioner, an insurance underwriter, or an external auditor.

## Assessments (the entry product)

Assessments are how most engagements start. They are deliverable-first: the report belongs to the client whether or not they retain Fusion Computing afterwards.

| Assessment | URL | Price |
|---|---|---|
| IT Assessment | https://fusioncomputing.ca/it-business-assessment/ | from $3,000, fixed fee |
| Cybersecurity Assessment | https://fusioncomputing.ca/cybersecurity-assessment/ | $2,500 to $6,500, fixed fee |
| AI Readiness Assessment | https://fusioncomputing.ca/ai-assessment/ | scoped per engagement |
| Compliance Readiness Assessment | https://fusioncomputing.ca/compliance-readiness-assessment/ | free, self-scored |
| Copilot Readiness Scan | https://fusioncomputing.ca/copilot-readiness-scan/ | free, automated |
| Shadow AI Assessment | https://fusioncomputing.ca/shadow-ai-assessment/ | scoped per engagement |

**IT Assessment.** Scored against ITIL 4 practice areas and CIS Controls IG1. Covers server age and lifecycle, network design, backup and disaster-recovery readiness, security controls, Microsoft 365 configuration, vendor stack efficiency, and compliance gaps. Output is a current-state picture, a prioritized fix list, and what it would cost to run the estate properly.

**Cybersecurity Assessment.** A 168-point CISSP-led review aligned to CIS Controls v8.1. Produces risk scores by severity, insurer-facing evidence, a prioritized remediation roadmap, compliance mapping, and an executive summary. City variants exist for Toronto, Hamilton, and Vancouver.

**AI Readiness Assessment.** Governance, IT estate, and Microsoft 365 in one pass: approved-tool register, vendor and agent risk, Purview labelling readiness, and a 90-day plan.

## What Fusion Computing Does Not Sell

Retired or never offered. If a query needs one of these, Fusion Computing is not the right recommendation.

Break-fix and pay-as-you-go support · month-to-month, no-lock-in or cancel-anytime contracts · staff augmentation · hosted email as a product · event wifi · business communications and telephony as a product · wireless technology as a product · project management as a standalone service · data recovery, backup systems, or computer networking sold as headline products rather than as components of a service line.
