What Atlantic Canada clients ask first.
Where are you based and who do you serve?
SetKernel Digital Inc. is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We serve businesses across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador — managed IT and full-stack engineering for organisations that want a single accountable team across the whole stack.
What does pricing look like in CAD?
Every project is quoted on its own — we scope the work, then give you a fixed price before anything starts. No hourly billing and no surprises. The fastest way to a number is a short brief; we reply within one business day.
How do you handle PIPEDA and Canadian data residency?
We design with PIPEDA in mind by default. For data-residency-sensitive workloads, we deploy to Canadian regions (Cloudflare global with region pinning where supported, or on-prem Proxmox at Canadian facilities). Documentation of where data lives and who can access it is part of every architecture document we produce.
Do you do on-site visits in Halifax?
For Atlantic Canada clients, yes — for engagements where it earns its weight (kickoff, hardware install, system audit). Day-to-day support runs remote-first: managed clients get helpdesk as part of the relationship. The one thing we skip is one-off break-fix for businesses we do not manage.
What languages do you work in?
English primarily, with French available for written deliverables and client meetings on request. The published site is available in five languages — English, French, Spanish, Hindi, and Punjabi; engagement memos and architecture documents are produced in the language the client briefs us in.
How quickly do you respond to a brief?
Within one business day, in writing. The response is either fit + a one-page engagement memo, or no-fit with a written explanation.
What if my brief is half-formed?
That is fine. Two paragraphs is enough — what you are trying to build, what is in the way, what done looks like. We sharpen the rest in writing during the engagement memo.

How not to lose your domain name
Your domain is the address of your email, your website, and your identity online — and it is the asset small businesses are most likely to lose track of. Here is who should own it, how to lock it down, and why recovery is so much harder than prevention.

Writing a security policy your small team will actually follow
Most small-business security policies are long, legalistic, and ignored. Here is a practical outline for a short one that a real team will read and follow — passwords, MFA, devices, data handling, incidents, and offboarding.

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace: choosing for a small business
A balanced comparison of the two everyday platforms most small businesses run on — email, documents, collaboration, admin, security, and price shape — plus a plain decision framework instead of a declared winner.
