Fusion Computing provides managed IT services to West Vancouver businesses on the North Shore: 24/7 monitoring, a senior-engineer help desk, Huntress MDR and SentinelOne security, Microsoft 365 management, and tested backup under one predictable monthly fee. We are built for the borough’s boutique wealth managers, Ambleside and Marine Drive advisory and legal firms, and family offices that hold private-client data under PIPA-BC and CIRO rules.
Managed IT for West Vancouver’s three dominant sectors
West Vancouver has about 45,000 residents and one of the highest median household incomes in Canada. The business base reflects that. Boutique wealth-management firms managing private-client capital. Law firms whose practices center on estates, trusts, and high-net-worth tax planning. Private-banking operations and boutique finance houses. Specialty professional services serving the same client base. West Van firms are typically small (5 to 30 people), elite, and hold some of the most sensitive client data in Canada: estate structures, trust arrangements, tax strategies, private investment portfolios. A leaked client file is career-ending.

What makes West Van IT different from the rest of Metro Vancouver
Ultra-high-net-worth client data sensitivity
Boutique-firm governance reality
Most West Van firms are small (5 to 30 people) and partner-run. Governance is handled by the partners themselves. Our engagements are structured to work with partner-level decision-making, not to create bureaucratic overhead. Documentation and controls are designed to pass examinations without adding friction to the daily practice.
Regulated-finance density
BCSC, CIRO (formerly IIROC), the Law Society of BC, CPA British Columbia, and parent-institution standards all apply across the West Van business base. We produce the audit-ready evidence each regulator and examiner asks for.
Fast Lions Gate response
The Lions Gate Bridge puts our Vancouver dispatch inside 15 to 25 minutes of most West Van addresses. Same-day on-site is contractual. For boutique firms where the principal is the practice, we staff named senior engineers who know every stakeholder.
Managed IT Services in West Vancouver: What’s Included
TL;DR
For a West Vancouver wealth-management office, estate-law practice, or family office, Fusion runs the whole technology stack under one monthly fee: 24/7 monitoring, a senior-engineer help desk, Huntress MDR and SentinelOne security, Microsoft 365 administration, patching, and tested backup. Controls and evidence are built to satisfy PIPA-BC, CIRO dealer rules, and the third-party-risk reviews custodians and insurers run on North Shore firms.
As the managed IT partner for a North Shore firm, Fusion watches your environment around the clock, closes vulnerabilities before they are exploited, runs your Microsoft 365 and Copilot stack, and owns the security posture your clients and regulators expect of a firm holding private-wealth data.
- 24/7 remote monitoring and patch management
- Help desk & technical support (93% first-contact resolution)
- Managed cybersecurity: Huntress MDR, SentinelOne, Fortinet firewalls
- Microsoft 365 administration and Copilot enablement
- Backup & disaster recovery
- Virtual CIO & strategic IT planning
- On-site support across West Vancouver, Ambleside, Dundarave, Park Royal, Horseshoe Bay
Help Desk and Remote IT Support
Your team contacts senior engineers directly. Most issues resolve remotely within 1-hours. No ticket queue, no script readers.
Security, Patching, and Compliance
Every West Vancouver engagement enforces MFA and conditional access, deploys SentinelOne endpoint protection and Huntress MDR, and automates patching aligned to CIS Controls v8.1, with DMARC on your mail domain. CISSP-led, with the audit evidence a BCSC examiner or CIRO reviewer asks for.
Microsoft 365 and Cloud Management
Full Microsoft 365 administration for the practice: licensing, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive backup, and Copilot readiness. One Canadian team manages the cloud stack a small West Vancouver firm cannot staff in-house.
West Vancouver firms get one named senior engineer who knows their principals and their portfolio systems, not a rotating ticket queue. Per-user monthly pricing covers 24/7 monitoring, help desk, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 management, and tested backup, with no per-incident fees and no long lock-in after year one.
Managed IT Services Pricing in West Vancouver
West Vancouver businesses transition to managed IT in two to four weeks. The MSP conducts a full audit of your environment, deploys monitoring agents, and schedules backup verification. Professional services and real estate firms in the Ambleside and Park Royal areas value the white-glove onboarding approach that avoids disrupting client-facing operations.
Fusion prices fully managed IT for West Vancouver firms on a fixed per-user monthly basis, from $180/user/month. No hidden fees and no per-incident surcharges. One predictable cost covers monitoring, the help desk, security, patching, and CISSP-led strategic planning.

Client Story
35 to 205 Users. No New IT Staff
A Metro Vancouver professional services firm scaled from 35 to 205 users over three years without adding internal IT headcount. Fusion handled every new-hire onboarding, the security stack, Microsoft 365 migrations, and two office expansions. All under a flat monthly cost.
Mike Pearlstein, CISSP. CEO, Fusion Computing
Fusion has served Canadian businesses since 2012. Our security leadership holds active CISSP certification and our approach is aligned to CIS Controls v8.1. The same framework used by enterprises, applied to businesses with 10 to 150 employees.

How Fusion Works in West Vancouver
Every engagement follows the same structured process, whether you’re a 10-person office or a 200-employee operation. No guessing, no scope creep, no surprises.
Assessment
We map your current infrastructure, identify the gaps a CIRO or BCSC reviewer would flag, and benchmark your security baseline against CIS Controls v8.1. The assessment is fixed-fee and takes 2 to 5 business days, scheduled around client-facing work.
Onboarding
If we are a fit, we run a 30-day onboarding that brings monitoring, patching, and backup under Fusion, with white-glove cutover that does not interrupt advisory or legal work at the desk.
Ongoing Support
From there it is ongoing managed support: 24/7 monitoring, CISSP-led quarterly reviews timed to your audit cycle, and an evidence pack ready for examiners, insurers, and custodian due-diligence requests.
The process is the same one we have run since 2012 across more than 500 Canadian businesses, adapted to the compliance load a West Vancouver wealth or legal practice carries.
Managed IT for West Vancouver’s Key Industries
West Vancouver’s economy runs on private wealth management, estate and trust law, family offices, and professional services around Park Royal and Ambleside. Each carries technology and compliance obligations, PIPA-BC, CIRO dealer rules, Law Society of BC and CPA BC retention, that a generalist IT provider routinely misses.
Our team includes a CISSP-certified security lead who reviews every West Vancouver client’s environment quarterly, ensuring your technology posture keeps pace with both business growth and evolving threats.
Why this matters for West Vancouver firms
West Vancouver businesses that hold personal information operate under British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA-BC), overseen by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for BC. Wealth-management and advisory firms layer the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) dealer rules on top of that. Both expect documented access controls, breach-handling procedures, and evidence you can produce on request.
Managed IT lowers that exposure the same way in West Vancouver as anywhere: keep systems patched, monitor for anomalies around the clock, and hold a security baseline an in-house team rarely has the bandwidth to sustain. Fusion aligns every client to CIS Controls v8.1 and runs Huntress MDR with SentinelOne so prevention is built into the service rather than bolted on after an incident. Phishing remains the most common entry point we see, which is why MFA and conditional access are mandatory on every engagement.
Frameworks: PIPA-BC (OIPC BC); CIRO dealer rules. Security baseline: CIS Controls v8.1.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need managed IT services nearby? Fusion supports the managed IT services needs of businesses across the surrounding area, including managed IT services in North Vancouver, managed IT services in Vancouver, and managed IT services in Burnaby. See our managed IT services hub for the full national overview. Same Canadian-owned team, same CISSP-led oversight, tailored per location.
Our BCSC examination asks about our IT controls. Can you produce the evidence?
Yes. We document access controls, MFA enforcement, patch status, backup verification, and incident-response procedures, then package that evidence in the format a British Columbia Securities Commission examiner or a CIRO reviewer expects. The same audit pack supports a portfolio manager’s technology-risk review and a custodian’s third-party due-diligence request.
Our firm is partner-run and we do not want bureaucratic overhead. Can you deliver controls without getting in the way?
Yes. Most West Vancouver firms we support are small, partner-led practices of 5 to 30 people. We design controls and documentation to pass examinations and insurer reviews without adding friction to client-facing work. Decisions are made with the partners directly, not buried in process.
Which privacy and compliance frameworks apply to a West Vancouver business?
Businesses handling personal information in BC fall under the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA-BC), overseen by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for BC. Public bodies fall under FIPPA-BC. Investment dealers and advisers add CIRO dealer rules; law and accounting firms add Law Society of BC and CPA BC retention duties. We align controls to the frameworks that apply to your practice rather than a generic checklist.
Can you provide same-day on-site at Ambleside, Dundarave, Caulfeild, or Horseshoe Bay?
Yes. Our Vancouver dispatch coordinates on-site arrival via the Lions Gate Bridge to Ambleside, Dundarave, the West Vancouver Community Centre area, Caulfeild, the British Properties, and Horseshoe Bay. After-hours and weekend on-site is included in the contract for critical incidents.

Where Fusion runs managed IT in West Vancouver
West Vancouver is a community of roughly 44,000 residents on the North Shore with one of the highest median household incomes in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census). The local business base reflects that: private wealth management, advisory and family-office firms, boutique estate and trust law practices, and the professional-services cluster around Park Royal Shopping Centre at the foot of the Lions Gate Bridge. Major wealth managers such as RBC Dominion Securities and BMO Private Wealth maintain a West Vancouver presence. Firms here are small, elite, and hold private-client data that a single leak can ruin.
