Founder-led IT and cybersecurity for Colorado Front Range small businesses, with clear starting prices and no surprise scope.
Most small businesses come in through one of two doors. Pick the one that matches what is on your mind today. You can use both over time.
Equipment inventory, employee onboarding and offboarding, Microsoft 365 administration, servers and QuickBooks, and someone to call when things break.
Cyber insurance readiness, a free external security snapshot, the Technology & Security Baseline, Microsoft 365 hardening, and a governed path into AI.
Serving law firms, accounting and insurance agencies, financial advisors, and construction and trades businesses across Aurora and the Denver Metro.
It grew one laptop, one cloud app, one workaround, one vendor, and one emergency at a time. That works for a while — until growth, cyber insurance, AI adoption, or a security incident exposes the cracks.
BlueStrata starts with what is worrying you or slowing the team down, traces it to the technical cause, and fixes what matters first. That means knowing what exists, what is exposed, and what is undocumented before anything gets touched.
A free 30–45 minute call about your business, not a technical audit. You leave with a short written recap and a recommended next step.
You get a written proposal before any paid work begins. Nothing billable happens without your approval.
We document what changed and what remains, and explain it in plain English, so you know what was fixed and what to watch next.
Pick the support level that fits. Both are scoped in writing before you start, and neither is a 24/7 service.
Remote help for everyday problems, routine Microsoft 365 administration, and vendor coordination. Best when you mainly need someone to call.
Proactive coverage: devices patched and protected, accounts managed, network care, and monthly reporting. Best when you want IT kept in shape, not just fixed.
Decision-makers usually do not need another vendor selling a bigger tool stack. They need a disciplined technical partner who can translate risk into business impact, modernize what matters, and keep technology aligned with where the organization is going.
Every engagement is handled with senior-level oversight. You are not shuffled through an anonymous helpdesk that has never seen your environment.
BlueStrata starts with what the business is trying to accomplish, then maps technology, security, documentation, training, and AI readiness to that direction.
Modernization without security creates new risk. BlueStrata keeps identity, endpoints, backup, email, Microsoft 365, and access control at the center of every recommendation.
You get plain-English findings, prioritized next steps, quarterly alignment, and documented ownership. No vague jargon, no surprise scope, and no disappearing act after the sale.
I’m a U.S. Army veteran and the founder of BlueStrata, based in Aurora, Colorado. I spent years in enterprise managed services supporting Microsoft 365, Azure and Entra ID, endpoint management, and identity security, and I started BlueStrata to bring that same discipline to small businesses that have outgrown ad hoc IT but aren’t ready for a large provider.
When you work with BlueStrata, you work with me. No helpdesk queue, no handoffs to people who have never seen your environment, and no upselling. You get plain-English answers, a clear scope before paid work begins, and documentation that belongs to you. BlueStrata is a veteran-owned business.
No. I can take responsibility for one area, finish a project, or support your existing IT person. We agree up front who owns each task and who approves changes.
Yes. You can start with a single project or a narrowly scoped ongoing service. Broader coverage is optional, and a project never requires an ongoing plan.
It’s a free 30–45 minute remote conversation that starts with questions about your business, not a technical audit: what decisions you’re making without the information you need, what worries you about your technology, and where you’re spending money you can’t explain. Afterward you get a short written recap covering your priorities, what we know, what we don’t, and the recommended next step. There is no obligation to buy.
No. BlueStrata does not provide 24/7 support or incident response. Evening and weekend windows are agreed in advance, and emergency after-hours work is available by arrangement, generally $200–$300 per hour. If you suspect a breach, call your cyber insurance carrier first, then call me.
You work directly with me, the founder. Your documentation, admin accounts, and recovery details belong to you and are kept so another qualified provider could take over.
BlueStrata is backed by The Default Gateway, a practical IT operations and security publication focused on real-world MSP scenarios, identity risk, endpoint security, Microsoft 365, and operational discipline.
Read The Default Gateway ↗Tell me what is getting in the way: recurring IT problems, an employee start or departure, security or insurance pressure, Microsoft 365 friction, or plans for AI. The goal is a clear next step — even if that means a small fixed-scope engagement.
Colorado small businesses, owners, operators, and lean technology teams. Everyday IT support fits offices of roughly 5–50 employees. Assessments and projects typically fit 10–75 users; ongoing oversight is generally best suited to smaller environments with clearly defined scope.
Prefer email? Send your company name, approximate user count, and the main issue you want help with, and say whether you want the full service guide with pricing, everyday IT support, a free external snapshot, a cyber insurance review, a technology baseline, Microsoft 365 work, AI governance, stabilization, or ongoing oversight.
