ABOUT CKWEST

Your Cybersecurity Partner
Since 2004

CKWEST IT Solutions was founded by Carl Katz with a simple mission: make IT worry-free for small and medium-sized businesses. Over 20 years later, that mission has evolved into a focused cybersecurity and business continuity practice that protects businesses across British Columbia.

Why We Moved to Bundled Pricing

For years, the IT industry operated on an hourly billing model — and it created a fundamental conflict of interest. The more things broke, the more we billed. That never sat right with us.

Our per-user bundle model aligns our incentives with yours. When your systems run smoothly, we both win. We’re motivated to prevent problems, not wait for them.

With flat monthly pricing, you know exactly what IT costs — no surprises, no unpredictable invoices. Just complete protection for every member of your team.

Our Values

The principles that guide every decision we make.

Protection First

Every decision we make starts with one question: does this keep our clients safer?

Proactive, Not Reactive

We prevent problems before they happen — not just fix them after. That’s the managed services difference.

Honest & Transparent

Flat, predictable pricing. No hidden fees. No unnecessary upsells. Just straightforward IT partnerships.

20+ Years of Trust

We’ve earned our clients’ trust over two decades of reliable service. Many of our clients have been with us for 10+ years.
