Senior IT leadership and security work, without adding a full time hire

RKS Advisory Group works with construction, property management, real estate, and professional services firms across Western and Central Canada, internationally in the United States and the Caribbean. Engagements range from startups establishing their first systems to organizations supporting up to 300 users. Some need a technology foundation built from the start. Others have outgrown what a part time helpdesk can support.

Our Services

One senior partner across the full technology picture.

Bring one priority or the whole stack. The work stays grounded in the systems your organization actually uses and the decisions your leaders need to make.

Cybersecurity

Assessment, hardening, and incident response.

Endpoint and server protection, patching and vulnerability review, firewall and perimeter rules, backup and ransomware recovery, phishing simulation and training, written security policy, incident response runbooks, and the security questionnaires your insurer and clients require.

Identity & Security

Microsoft 365 and Entra ID hardening.

Conditional Access design, MFA rollout, Defender for Office 365, legacy authentication shutdown, privileged account cleanup, sign in log review, and phishing and account takeover investigation.

Email

Email security, deliverability, and BEC response.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, DNSSEC, and CAA. RKS Advisory Group runs a scored external assessment against your domain, then works through the remediation with you in stages so mail keeps flowing. For business email compromise (BEC) we handle containment, account recovery, mailbox rule and forwarding audits, and root cause closure.

Cloud

Microsoft 365 migrations and licensing.

Tenant migrations and consolidations, Business Standard to Business Premium upgrades, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, device policy, and a plain comparison of what each license actually gets you.

Infrastructure

Network, server, and backup.

Cisco and FortiGate firewalls and switching, VPN and remote access, VMware and ESXi, file server and storage migrations, and backup and replication design on site and offsite.

Domains & Web

Domain registration, email, and websites.

Domain registration and transfers, DNS hosting, business email setup on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, website design and rebuilds, hosting, SSL, and ongoing updates and backups.

Startup

New business setup, start to finish.

Bootstrapping a new or small business from nothing. Domain, email, file storage, laptops, Wi-Fi, phones, website, and a security baseline you will not have to tear out in two years.

Automation

PowerShell, reporting, and internal tools.

Automation for onboarding, offboarding, and recurring audits. Custom dashboards and small internal apps, including job status boards for the field and client facing portals.

Advisory

Fractional CIO and compliance.

IT budgets and multi year roadmaps, vendor and contract review, documentation and standards, PHIA and privacy work, and coaching for your internal IT staff.
