Cloud Solutions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Make the cloud reliable, secure, and affordable, without slowing people down.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHEMA helps you plan, move to, and run the cloud the right way. We keep systems available, data protected, and monthly costs predictable, while making tools easy for teams to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

What we do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Plan the journey:<\/strong> Quick health check, clear business case, and a step-by-step roadmap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Build a safe foundation:<\/strong> Secure setup for networks, sign-ins, backups, and disaster recovery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Move what matters:<\/strong> Migrate the right systems in the right order with after-hours cutovers and rollback plans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Protect access:<\/strong> Strong sign-in, \u201conly what you need\u201d permissions, and full audit trails.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stay secure and resilient:<\/strong> Hardening, monitoring\/alerts, tested backups, and recovery targets everyone understands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Control costs:<\/strong> Dashboards, budgets\/alerts, rightsizing, and monthly tune-ups, no surprise bills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Make data useful:<\/strong> Clean pipelines and reports people trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Microsoft 365 that lasts:<\/strong> SharePoint\/Teams governance, records management, and hands-on training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Connect safely to operations (if needed):<\/strong> Read-only links from plant\/field systems into the cloud for reporting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    We regularly support public sector & education, energy & utilities, health & community care\/medical, and hospitality\/property operations.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Healthcare & HIPAA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We build and run cloud environments that respect protected health information (PHI)<\/strong> and HIPAA<\/strong> requirements for U.S. work, while also aligning with Canadian privacy rules (e.g., PIPEDA<\/strong> and provincial health-info laws).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What that means in practice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • HIPAA-eligible services only:<\/strong> We design on services the major clouds list as HIPAA-eligible and support Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)<\/strong> where applicable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Encrypt everything:<\/strong> In-transit and at-rest encryption by default, with key-management options noted in your runbook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Least-privilege access:<\/strong> Role-based access, MFA, conditional access, and \u201cbreak-glass\u201d procedures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Full traceability:<\/strong> Central logging, tamper-evident audit trails, and simple reports for compliance checks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Minimum necessary:<\/strong> Clear data flows, retention rules, and approved use cases\u2014so PHI isn\u2019t copied or shared \u201cjust in case.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Breach readiness:<\/strong> Documented incident response and notification steps, tested with tabletop exercises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Data residency:<\/strong> Canadian regions when required; cross-border use is documented up front with safeguards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Questions we hear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Can our data stay in Canada?<\/strong>
      Yes. We choose Canadian regions wherever possible and list any exceptions up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How do you keep cloud costs in check?<\/strong>
      Tagging, budgets\/alerts, rightsizing, and monthly optimization reviews\u2014summarized in plain language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Will this interrupt operations?<\/strong>
      We plan after-hours changes, have rollback options, and test restores in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Are you locked to one cloud?<\/strong>
      No. We\u2019re vendor-neutral and design for portability where it matters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      How an engagement usually runs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Assess & plan:<\/strong> Quick wins and a phased roadmap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Foundation:<\/strong> Secure setup, sign-in, networking, monitoring, backups\/DR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. First migrations:<\/strong> Move priority systems, prove reliability and cost controls, adjust playbooks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Scale & improve:<\/strong> Add more systems, automate, and report results to leadership.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        You receive:<\/strong> a documented secure setup and guardrails, runbooks for change\/incident\/backup\/DR tests, cost dashboards, a security hardening report with fixes, and quick-start training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Why choose SHEMA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Practical, not theoretical:<\/strong> Measured, staged delivery, no surprises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Clear communication:<\/strong> Step-by-step guides, change notices, and training so people aren\u2019t left guessing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Canada-ready (and HIPAA-aware):<\/strong> Data residency options and privacy practices aligned to PIPEDA\/FOIP, and HIPAA controls when you handle PHI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • We build with your team:<\/strong> When we\u2019re done, you own it and can run it confidently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          We\u2019re not your legal counsel, but we\u2019ll map technical controls to your policies, train your team, and keep evidence handy for audits.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
