Managed IT That Actually
Understands Your Industry

ThreeShield delivers fully managed, security-first IT to healthcare organizations and accounting firms in Calgary - and by arrangement in Vancouver and Kingston, Ontario. CISSP/CISA-certified oversight, Lavawall® real-time monitoring, and deep knowledge of HIA and CPA requirements, all from a local team that picks up the phone.

Who this is for - and who we partner with

Our fully managed IT service is deliberately focused. We take it on for healthcare organizations and accounting firms in Calgary, Vancouver, and Kingston, Ontario - regulated environments where security and compliance are inseparable from day-to-day IT.

If you're a general business outside those industries, or a managed service provider serving your own clients, we are a partner, not a competitor. MSPs and IT teams use ThreeShield for Tier-3 security escalation, white-label Lavawall® monitoring, and cybersecurity audits across Canada and the US - so you keep the client relationship and we back you up on the hard security problems.

Why Regulated Industries Need Security-First Managed IT

Healthcare and accounting carry compliance, data-handling, and liability obligations that reactive, break-fix IT was never built to meet. This is the difference in approach - not a knock on any provider.

Reactive, Break-Fix IT

  • Remote helpdesk with offshore escalation
  • Patches Windows - ignores 7,400+ third-party apps
  • Limited familiarity with HIA, PIPA, or CPA obligations
  • Reactive: you call after something breaks
  • Security treated as an add-on upsell
  • No audit trail for compliance evidence
  • One-size-fits-all tooling

ThreeShield Security-First Managed IT

  • Calgary-based Tier 3 engineers answer directly
  • Lavawall® patches 7,400+ apps - Windows, Mac, Linux
  • Deep expertise in healthcare and accounting compliance
  • Proactive: we detect and resolve before you notice
  • Security is the foundation, not an upsell
  • Continuous compliance evidence collection built in
  • Tailored stacks for health-information and financial-data environments

  • Engagement file and workflow platform security
  • Cyber insurance documentation support

How Onboarding Works

No multi-month migrations. No surprises. A clear sequence from day one.

01

Discovery & Inventory

We audit your current environment - devices, software, cloud services, access controls, and compliance obligations. You get a written findings report before signing anything.

02

Lavawall® Deployment

Lightweight agents deployed to all endpoints in days, not months. Within 48 hours you have a live security dashboard showing your real exposure - often for the first time.

03

Stack Hardening

We remediate the highest-risk findings first. M365 hardening, MFA gaps, firewall reviews, and backup validation. Documented, prioritized, executed systematically.

04

Compliance Baseline

Lavawall® GRC maps your controls to applicable frameworks. You see exactly where you stand against Alberta HIA, CPA Canada, CIS, or your cyber insurance requirements.

05

Ongoing Managed Services

Monthly reporting, proactive patching, continuous monitoring, and a dedicated contact who knows your environment - not a rotating helpdesk queue.

Common Questions

Our fully managed IT service is scoped to healthcare organizations and accounting firms in Calgary, Vancouver, and Kingston, Ontario - industries where our security and compliance depth makes the biggest difference. For other businesses, and for MSPs serving their own clients, we work as a Tier-3 security and white-label Lavawall® partner across Canada and the US rather than taking over the relationship. If you're not sure which fits, book a call and we'll point you the right way - even if that's to someone else.

Internal IT staff are great at keeping operations running, but cybersecurity requires a different skillset and toolset that most organizations can't justify full-time. ThreeShield acts as your Tier 3 security layer - the expertise your IT person calls when something serious happens, backed by Lavawall® monitoring so you catch things before they escalate. Many clients keep their internal IT staff; we enhance, not replace them.

Pricing is per-device and per-user, scoped to your environment after the discovery phase. Lavawall® has no high-watermark billing and no minimums - you pay for what you use. We don't lock clients into multi-year contracts. Our retention comes from delivering results, not from legal obligation.

You get direct access to our on-call escalation line. For Lavawall® clients, many incidents are auto-detected and triaged before you're even aware of them. When human response is needed, you reach a Calgary-based engineer who already has full context on your environment - not someone reading from a script offshore.

Yes. Modern workforces are hybrid by default. We deploy Cloudflare Zero Trust, Entra ID Conditional Access, and Lavawall® device monitoring that works regardless of where staff connect from - home, office, or client sites. Device compliance is enforced at the identity level, not the network perimeter.
