They were totally awesome and so patient when working with not only me but also the QuickBooks IT department to get the issue resolved and working for us.

IT Force went out of its way to make sure the situation was fully resolved before closing the ticket and was responsive when the issue occurred live, as it did not occur during our originally scheduled resolution time.

Stephanie Khurana

President, Netchem

They were extremely helpful on this, working with me to understand SharePoint sites and how to make them available to outside vendors when needed. I now feel confident we can share production-related documents without compromising our internal confidential documents.

Protect Data and Simplify Compliance with SharePoint Security

SharePoint is a powerful tool, but without robust security, your business is exposed to data breaches, account takeovers, and compliance risks. Securing SharePoint with IT Force means every site, library, and file is protected by advanced, layered defenses, including AI-driven threat detection, vigilant monitoring, and tailored access controls. Gain confidence in your collaboration platform while ensuring sensitive business data stays private and compliant at all times.

Detailed SharePoint Security Solutions for Complete Protection

Advanced protection strategies tailored for SharePoint

User Permissions Control

Granular Permissions Management

Effective user permissions management is the foundation of SharePoint security. IT Force configures granular access controls, ensuring each user or group only sees the content they need, nothing more. Permissions are reviewed regularly, and changes are tracked for full transparency. This reduces the risk of accidental data exposure and supports compliance with strict internal or industry policies, giving you complete confidence in your document security.

Threat Monitoring

Automated Threat Detection

Automated threat detection leverages both Microsoft 365's security features and AI-driven monitoring to identify suspicious activity in real-time. IT Force deploys advanced tools that catch phishing attempts, malware uploads, and unusual account behavior before they escalate. Alerts are sent instantly, and response workflows are streamlined, so threats are quickly contained, protecting your business from the most common cyber attack vectors targeting SharePoint.

Policy Development

Custom Security Policy Development

Custom policy development ensures your SharePoint environment aligns with business requirements and compliance mandates. IT Force helps you define and enforce data retention, sharing, and classification policies tailored to your industry. Regular reviews and updates keep your controls current as regulations or business needs change, minimizing the risk of fines or data loss while supporting operational efficiency across teams.

Continuous Auditing

Ongoing Monitoring & Auditing

Continuous monitoring and auditing provide ongoing visibility into your SharePoint environment. IT Force's systems log every access, change, and permission adjustment, making it easy to investigate incidents or demonstrate compliance. Detailed reports and real-time dashboards give you peace of mind and make it simple to spot trends, detect anomalies, or provide evidence during an audit or investigation.

Patch Management

Patch Management & Vulnerability Scanning

Proactive patch management and vulnerability scanning are critical for keeping SharePoint secure. IT Force automates the deployment of security updates and regularly scans for known weaknesses, reducing the window of exposure to new threats. This approach ensures your SharePoint environment stays protected without disrupting daily business activities or requiring manual intervention from your team.

Backup & Recovery

Backup and Rapid Recovery

Comprehensive backup and recovery solutions safeguard your SharePoint data against accidental deletion, ransomware, or system failure. IT Force maintains multiple copies of your data across secure locations and tests recovery procedures daily. In the event of an issue, your files and sites can be restored quickly, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity even during unexpected incidents.

How Securing SharePoint Transformed Collaboration and Security

Miracle outcome in time of disaster

When IT Force first came on the scene, Native Horizons Treatment Centre, a registered charitable organization, had no reliable phone system or centralized server. Although technology and communications are important to them, they had no IT expertise and support to depend on. There was no integration between business apps, no security. They were exposed to every possible security, failure and redundancy risk. Later, the organization experienced a fire and burnt to the ground, destroying the entire administration wing.

Supporting people with restorative powers

Camp Maple Leaf (established in 1955) is a not-for-profit summer camp program for children where leadership’s focus has been more on the children being served than on the technology available to run the organization. When IT Force first met with them their IT capacity and acumen was only slightly higher than zero on a scale of 1 to 10, utilizing outdated laptops and mobile phones. Other than occasional tele-conference calls, the organization lacked the video conference capability which could bring together their geographically dispersed senior leadership team for organizational updates as required throughout the year. The same applied to their newly formed advisory council which lacked the platform to efficiently and effectively enable video meetings throughout the year. The lack of technology utilization also meant that, for the most part, group training of counsellors was limited to onsite-training only one week prior to the arrival of campers at the Camp. Not an ideal situation.

Cost savings for social purpose

In its early days Habitat for Humanity Niagara, a non-governmental and not-for-profit organization, was run by a small team of staff and volunteers who had little knowledge of IT technology or how it could support their efforts. Integration between business applications did not exist, no security measures had been implemented, and they faced all the risks associated with critical failures due to their lack of redundancy. They were quite literally working on borrowed IT equipment. The operation was strangled with no easy path to add new team members to the environment, much less expand their number of retail stores. Needing to address these conditions Habitat Niagara sought a managed IT services provider.

Custom infrastructure drives ROI

Custom-built trailer company, Titan Trailers is a long-time customer of IT Force. Information technology is fundamental to their ongoing operations and success. IT Force strategically helped expand their IT as the company grew from their legacy set up of having one server and eight workstations to their current 20 server SAN solution. They needed reliable and scalable IT that ensured continuous operation to their winning business.
