IT for a small city with a busy business community
White Rock is one of the smallest cities in the region by area, but it packs in a lot of business. Marine Drive along the waterfront is lined with restaurants, cafés and shops that are busiest in summer and on weekends. Uptown, around Johnston Road and Five Corners, has professional offices, real estate and insurance brokerages, financial advisors and personal services. The area around Peace Arch Hospital has medical, dental and allied health clinics.
Many of these businesses serve an older population and handle sensitive personal and financial information. Others rely on fast, reliable payments during their busiest hours. Both need IT that works without fuss. We provide managed IT support that covers both.
Clinics, advisors and brokerages
For clinics, wealth advisors, insurance brokers and real estate offices, the biggest risks are a compromised email account and lost client records. A criminal who gets into an advisor’s mailbox can read client correspondence and send convincing payment instructions. A failed laptop with the only copy of a client file can halt a transaction.
We help prevent both:
- Multi-factor authentication on email and every cloud system, plus alerts for suspicious sign-ins.
- Email authentication (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), so criminals can’t easily send mail that looks like it came from your domain.
- Encrypted laptops and phones, so a lost device doesn’t become a privacy breach.
- Backups of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and any local files, tested so restores actually work.
More detail is on our cybersecurity services page and our page for real estate and insurance offices.
Restaurants, cafés and shops
On Marine Drive, technology problems tend to show up at the worst possible time: a busy Saturday when card terminals drop off the network or the kitchen printer stops. We build simple, reliable setups for hospitality and retail:
- A business-grade router and access points sized for the space, including patios.
- Guest Wi-Fi kept completely separate from point-of-sale and office systems.
- A backup internet connection where an outage would stop payments.
- Monitoring, so we often know about a problem before you do.
See how we support retail and restaurants.
Owner-run businesses and home offices
White Rock has many owner-run businesses and consultants who work from home. They need the same essentials as a larger office: a proper backup, a professional email setup, a secure Wi-Fi network and someone to call. We keep it simple and right-sized, and we don’t sell services you don’t need.
Getting started in White Rock
A free IT review is the best first step. We’ll look at your devices, network, backups and security, explain what we find in plain language and give you a clear monthly price. If you also have an office in Surrey or Langley, we can support both under one plan.
