FAQ

Common questions

What does Itsultant do and who do you work with?

Itsultant is a Canadian, Ontario-based IT consulting and cybersecurity firm that works with small and medium businesses and non-profits across Canada. We handle managed IT support, cybersecurity and compliance, CRM and ERP systems, cloud, private AI assistants, IT training, and web work. We build on open-source tools first, which gives smaller organizations the kind of capability larger companies have without the per-seat licensing costs. We are fully remote and have served Canadian clients since 2020.

How does open-source software actually save money compared to per-seat licensing?

Most commercial IT tools charge a monthly fee for every user, so your costs climb every time you add a staff member or volunteer. Open-source platforms like Odoo, ERPNext, SuiteCRM, and Moodle do not charge per-seat licenses, so you pay for setup and support instead of a growing headcount tax. This matters most for organizations that are hiring, seasonal, or run on volunteers, where user counts change often. You still get CRM, ERP, e-learning, and security capability, without the license bill scaling against you.

Can Itsultant help my business meet PIPEDA and PHIPA requirements?

Yes. Our cybersecurity and compliance work is mapped to PIPEDA and Ontario's PHIPA, and we align the technical controls to recognized frameworks like the CIS Controls and NIST CSF. We use tools such as Wazuh, OpenVAS, and Suricata for monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and detection. At the end, you get an audit evidence pack that documents the controls in place, so you have something concrete to show during a review or audit.

Can my data stay in Canada?

Yes. When we set up cloud services on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, you have the option to keep your data on Canadian infrastructure. This is a common requirement for healthcare, financial, and non-profit organizations that handle personal or health information. We plan the setup around where your data needs to live, so residency is handled from the start, not patched on later.

Do you provide remote IT support across Canada, or only in Ontario?

We are based in Ontario but work fully remotely and serve clients across all of Canada. Being remote means we are not limited to one city or region, so businesses and non-profits anywhere in the country can work with us. For existing managed IT clients, we target a one-hour response during business hours.

How does pricing work, and what is the free assessment?

We do not publish list prices because the right setup depends on your size, systems, and goals. We start with a free assessment where we look at your current situation and what you need, then quote based on that. Managed IT support is billed as a predictable monthly fee, so you know your cost ahead of time. The assessment comes with no obligation to sign up afterward.

Do you work with non-profits and charities?

Yes, non-profits are a core part of who we serve. The open-source approach fits non-profits well because it avoids per-seat license fees that eat into limited budgets, especially when you rely on volunteers or part-time staff. We can set up CRM, ERP, e-learning, and cloud systems built to keep ongoing costs down. Compliance and data-residency support are included the same way they are for our business clients.

How do I get started with Itsultant?

Reach out for a free assessment by email at info@itsultant.ca or by phone at (647) 809-2230. We will talk through your current setup and what you are trying to solve, then lay out options and costs based on what you actually need. There is no cost or commitment for that first conversation.
