Your 2026 Ottawa IT Roadmap – Free Checklist
Planning your technology for the next 18–24 months doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
We put together this straightforward, no-fluff checklist that every growing Ottawa business should run through before the end of 2025.
The Checklist
-
Windows Server 2012/2016 end-of-life actions (Microsoft ends extended support in 2026)
-
Microsoft 365 licensing & security baseline review (most companies are over- or under-licensed)
-
Cyber-insurance minimum requirements (multi-factor, backups, patching, EDR – are you actually compliant?)
-
Backup & disaster recovery health check (3-2-1 rule still met?)
-
Remote/hybrid work security gaps (VPN vs Zero-Trust, home Wi-Fi risks)
-
Hardware refresh cycle (are your workstations and servers turning 5+ years old?)
-
Cloud cost optimization (reserved instances, storage tiering, license cleanup)
-
Firewall & network segmentation audit (flat networks are the #1 reason breaches spread)
-
Employee off-boarding process test (do old accounts actually get disabled?)
-
2026 budget planning worksheet (per-user and percentage-of-revenue models)
