The IT Challenges Your Industry Faces
Common problems we solve for SMB IT every day.
IT Costs Are Unpredictable
Break-fix IT means you never know what you'll pay this month. One hardware failure or ransomware incident can cost thousands with no warning.
No Dedicated IT Staff
Small businesses can't afford full-time IT. But running without proper IT support is a much more expensive gamble long-term.
Cybercriminals Target SMBs
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses. Attackers know SMBs often lack the defences of larger companies. Ransomware doesn't discriminate by company size.
Growing Faster Than Your IT
Adding staff, opening new locations, or shifting to hybrid work all create IT complexity that needs proactive management.
Requirements We Cover
PIPEDA Compliance
Baseline privacy controls, encrypted data handling, and incident response procedures for any business collecting customer data.
Cyber Insurance Eligibility
MFA, EDR, and verified backups — the three controls most insurers require for SMB cyber coverage.
Business Continuity
A plan so your business can recover from hardware failure, ransomware, or a major incident without losing critical data.

Case Study
Problem
A 15-person GTA professional services firm was spending $2,000+/month on reactive IT support — paying per ticket, per incident, with no monitoring and frequent outages disrupting client work.
Solution
Transitioned to CtrlShift IT Services' Growth plan at $549/month with proactive monitoring, Huntress EDR-backed endpoint protection, automated patching, and a priority helpdesk. All devices enrolled, MFA enforced.
Result
IT incidents dropped 70% in the first 90 days. Monthly IT spend reduced by $1,200. Staff satisfaction with IT improved measurably. One ransomware attempt blocked automatically by Huntress.
