MSP (Managed Service, Provider)
Managed IT for small Winnipeg businesses. One person, full accountability.
I'm Kevin. When you sign on with KEF Solutions, I answer the phone, watch your systems, and show up when something breaks. No ticket queue shuffling between technicians, no account manager between you and the person doing the work.
Everything here runs on infrastructure I built and manage myself — the same monitoring, firewall, and backup stack I document publicly on this site. You can literally read about how your systems are being watched.
What You Get
24/7 automated monitoring – Your servers, network, and backups are watched around the clock. I get alerted the moment something's off, usually before you notice anything.
Sophos firewall management – I've been a Sophos partner for about 15 years. Your firewall gets configured, monitored, and maintained by someone who actually knows the platform.
Microsoft 365 management – Users, licenses, security settings, the works.
Backup verification – Daily checks that your backups actually ran and can actually be restored. A backup nobody's verified isn't a backup.
Monthly prevention reports – Plain-English summary of what happened, what I fixed before it became a problem, and what's coming.
Remote and onsite support – Most things get fixed remotely and fast. When hands-on is needed, I'm in Winnipeg — I come to you.
Who This Fits
Small businesses in and around Winnipeg — 2 to 20 staff — that rely on their computers every day and are tired of calling someone only after things break. My current clients include a funeral chapel, an auto body shop, an industrial services company, and a paving contractor. Real businesses, not tech companies.
