About Pine IT

Enterprise IT expertise
for professional services firms

Learn how Pine IT brings Fortune 500 IT practices to professional services firms in British Columbia.

Our Story

Pine IT was founded on a simple observation: professional services firms face the same IT security and compliance challenges as Fortune 500 companies, but rarely have access to enterprise-grade solutions that fit their scale and budget.

After leading IT operations at Amazon Canada and Best Buy Canada, our founder Will Sheldon saw firsthand how enterprise governance frameworks protect sensitive data and enable business growth. He recognized that legal, financial, and architecture firms in British Columbia needed the same level of security and operational excellence, but without the enterprise price tag or complexity.

Today, Pine IT brings enterprise-grade IT governance to SMB professional services firms. We implement the same NIST frameworks, SOC2 controls, and security practices used by the world's largest companies, but tailored for the unique needs of smaller professional services teams.

Our mission is simple: make enterprise-grade IT security and governance accessible to every professional services firm in BC, so you can protect your clients' data with confidence and focus on what you do best.

Pine IT is committed to providing personalized attention and exceptional service to professional services firms across British Columbia, backed by the infrastructure and expertise of a dedicated IT services team.
