Endpoint Protection

What Endpoint Protection means in practice

Endpoint protection covers the devices where people actually work. We deploy and manage EDR, full-disk encryption, application control and patch compliance so a lost laptop is an inconvenience rather than a reportable privacy breach.

Remote and hybrid work spread company data across home networks, coffee shops and personal Wi-Fi. A consistent, enforced endpoint policy is the most practical way to keep the same level of protection wherever staff happen to sit.

01Starting prices

As a guide, endpoint protection is priced as a defined project from $2,500 or as part of a managed plan of $89 to $199 per user per month. vCIO retainers start from $1,500 per month and security assessments from $1,900. A 10% launch discount applies, 5% GST is added, and there is no lock-in. Call (604) 632-4959 or email [email protected] for a free 30-minute consultation and a fixed quote.

02How it connects with our other services

Endpoint Protection works best as part of a coherent environment. Clients often pair it with Managed Detection & Response, Compliance (PIPEDA / SOC 2 readiness) and vCIO & IT Strategy, which share the same monitoring, documentation and support desk. That integration avoids duplicate tools and finger-pointing between vendors, and it simplifies your monthly review because one report covers everything. You can start with one service and add others later, without renegotiating the whole relationship.

03Who Endpoint Protection is right for

Endpoint Protection suits Canadian organisations of 10 to 500 staff that want enterprise-grade discipline without an enterprise cost base. It is especially relevant to engineering & architecture, startups & scale-ups and manufacturing teams, where the combination of regulated information, mobile workers and limited internal IT makes professional management of endpoint protection worthwhile. If you already have internal IT staff, we can deliver it as part of a co-managed arrangement.

04Handling your data responsibly

Access to your systems is controlled: named engineers, individual accounts, multi-factor authentication and an audit trail. We document where endpoint protection data is stored, who can reach it and how it is retained or deleted. Our practices are designed with PIPEDA and BC PIPA in mind, and we align vendor selections with SOC 2-aligned providers wherever possible.

05What happens in the first weeks

Early weeks focus on visibility and risk reduction. We inventory what exists, close the most urgent gaps and agree a plan for everything else. Staff receive short notices describing what will change, and leadership receives a first findings summary. By the end of the first month you will know the state of your endpoint protection, what it will cost to improve and what outcome to expect.

06How Endpoint Protection is delivered

Delivery begins with a 30-minute discovery call, followed by a short assessment of users, devices, applications, locations and existing contracts. We then prepare a fixed-price scope for endpoint protection that lists outcomes, responsibilities, assumptions and exclusions. Implementation takes place in planned windows with a written rollback for each change. Once live, a stabilisation period lets us tune settings and train staff. Target: 100% of endpoints encrypted, 95%+ patched within 14 days of release, lost-device wipe within one business hour.

07Service levels and reporting

Our service targets are published: 99.9% uptime for managed services, 15-minute response on priority incidents and 24/7 monitoring coverage. Targets are goals backed by process, escalation and reporting rather than guarantees of outcome, and we review performance with you monthly. For endpoint protection, reporting includes the metrics that matter to the business, with plain-language commentary instead of raw dashboards.
