Managed IT for Toronto Engineering Firms
IP-protecting IT infrastructure, large-file collaboration support, and secure remote access for engineering and design firms across the GTA.
The IT Challenges Your Industry Faces
Common problems we solve for Engineering IT every day.
Intellectual Property at Risk
CAD files, design documents, and project specifications represent your firm's core IP. Ransomware or insider threats can destroy years of work in hours.
Large File Workflows Are Slow
Engineering firms work with massive files across multiple collaborators. Poor storage architecture and network design creates friction your billing team notices.
Regulatory Document Control
Professional Engineers Ontario and project contracts often require version control, access logs, and secure document management. Most IT setups don't support this.
Remote Site Access
Engineers need secure access to project files from field sites, client offices, and home — without exposing your internal network.
Requirements We Cover
PEO Technology Guidance
Document control and data management aligned with Professional Engineers Ontario requirements.
IP Protection Controls
DLP policies, access logging, and device management to prevent unauthorized exfiltration of proprietary designs.
Secure Large File Collaboration
SharePoint or AWS-based large file storage with version control, access permissions, and secure external sharing.

Case Study
Problem
A Toronto structural engineering firm had all its CAD files stored on a single on-premise server with no backup. Staff accessed files via unsecured RDP. A near-miss ransomware event prompted an urgent overhaul.
Solution
Migration to SharePoint with version history and DLP policies, Tailscale replacing RDP for all remote access, Huntress EDR on all workstations, and nightly encrypted backups to AWS Canada.
Result
No data loss events in 18 months. SharePoint version control recovered a critical file overwrite that would have cost 40+ hours of rework. Insurance renewed at preferred rates.
