More About Techtone
Founded in 2013 as a one-person business, Techtone continued to grow its IT Solutions business and staff of technology specialists, servicing clients from its home office in Vancouver, British Columbia. As COVID-19 became a reality, Techtone embraced a remote workforce, allowing the company to grow and extend its reach to clients across North America.
Building on its reputation as a cybersecurity specialist, Techtone incubated Cyber Unit as a separate company. Founded in 2019, Cyber Unit concentrated offerings around enterprise-grade protection to small and growing businesses, and has now grown to the point that it is taking Techtone beneath its wings.
