Smolink — Infrastructure & Intelligence

We provide infrastructure design and deployment in a vast array of physical and digital services operating in the IT-Technical and Security sectors. Each service can be tailored independently or as part of a broader engagement.

Yes. Our background covers electrical, telecommunications, IT, and software — so we work from the physical layer (cabling, rack deployment, hardware installation) through to the application layer (automation, integrations, dashboards). Most vendors specialize in one or the other. We cover the full stack.

It means your data never leaves your control. Instead of relying on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud — where your data sits on shared hardware under third-party terms of service — we deploy self-hosted equivalents on hardware you own. Local virtualization, RAID storage; on your own network. You get full data sovereignty, no vendor lock-in, and infrastructure that keeps running even when the internet doesn't.

Security is built into every scenario — not added at the end. Projects start with a hardened foundation with things like network segmentation and least-privilege access, during design. Investigations follow strict chain-of-custody and evidence handling procedures. We don't retain client data beyond the necessary scope, and all remote access is conducted over encrypted channels with credentials revoked on project close.

Yes. The majority of our infrastructure, automation, and intelligence work is conducted remotely and can be delivered to clients anywhere. For work requiring a physical presence Eg. hardware installation or on-site network assessment — we serve clients in Western Canada and assess travel for projects globally on a case-by-case basis.

Initial inquiries should receive an email response within 3-5 business days to schedule an initial meeting. Conversations are typically conducted by phone or video call — we want to understand your project first before proposing anything. Active engagements are managed through direct email with the person doing the work. For ongoing or multi-phase projects, we establish a regular check-in cadence at agreed intervals. You won't be routed through a helpdesk or support queue — you deal directly with the technician or investigator on your file.

Yes, We conduct appropriate chain-of-custody procedures as a licensed private investigator. We conduct investigations within the legal Federal and Provincial frameworks of Canadian privacy law. Digital forensics work is documented with forensic integrity in mind — hash verification, write-blocked imaging, and evidence logs — so findings can support civil litigation, HR proceedings, or law enforcement referrals.

Yes. We regularly work alongside legal teams, existing IT staff, property managers, and other contractors. If you have an in-house IT department, we complement rather than displace — handling the scope that exceeds internal capacity or requires specialized expertise. We adapt to how your team operates and keep communication direct throughout.

A private tactical awareness system gives field teams real-time location sharing, encrypted communications, and operational overlays — all hosted on infrastructure you control, with no dependency on commercial networks or public cloud services. Originally developed for military and emergency services, these systems are now used by private security teams, resource sector operations, rural property managers, and anyone coordinating personnel in the field. Your operational data stays on your network, encrypted, under your control.

We'll respond within one business day to schedule an initial consultation — no obligation, no sales pitch. We'll ask the right questions, assess the scope, and give you an honest picture of what the engagement would look like.
