CYBERSECURITY IN COLORADO SPRINGS
Cybersecurity for Colorado Springs Firms That Already Have IT Support
Managed IT and cybersecurity for small defense contractors, engineering and design firms, RIAs and broker-dealers, and law firms in Colorado Springs.
Would your setup catch an account takeover at 2am on a Saturday? Picture a project manager at a Colorado Springs engineering firm. While the office is dark, someone signs in to their Microsoft 365 account with a stolen session. By Monday, an inbox rule is hiding the bank's replies and a client has received "new wiring instructions." Most firms we talk to already have an IT partner, so this page gives you a list to take to whoever protects you today.
Quick answer: 24uNet is a cybersecurity-first managed IT provider for 10-75 person firms in Colorado Springs, based in Commerce City, CO. Every client gets the same Security Baseline: enforced MFA, 24/7 managed detection and response, identity threat detection for Microsoft 365 and a tested incident response plan. We offer on-site service in Colorado Springs.

Cybersecurity and managed IT for Colorado Springs firms
24uNet works with 10-75 person firms where an outage is expensive and a breach is existential. One team runs your help desk, Microsoft 365 and devices, and the security that protects them. We work with clients in Colorado Springs today.
Security isn't a tier
Attackers don't check which tier you bought. Every 24uNet client gets the same Security Baseline from day one, in one plan for IT and security.
Already have an IT provider? Start there
You don't have to switch providers. Take the Security Baseline to whoever protects you today and ask which lines they actually deliver. Ask your current provider to mark this page. Want a second opinion? Our independent security review comes with no obligation, and no attempt to replace something that is working.
The 2am Saturday test
Account takeovers often start with a stolen password or session token, not malware. Three questions show whether your setup would catch one:
Who sees the alert at 2am on a Saturday: a person, or an inbox?
Who is allowed to act: lock the account, revoke sessions and remove the inbox rule?
What do you get on Monday: a written record of what was touched?
24/7 managed detection and response means analysts who act, not alerts you triage. Identity threat detection and response (ITDR) watches Microsoft 365 for token theft, rogue apps and hidden inbox rules, and we can lock the account and revoke sessions when something is wrong. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enforced on every account, but MFA alone isn't enough. See how ITDR stops a Microsoft 365 account takeover.
CMMC Level 1 readiness for Colorado Springs defense suppliers
Colorado Springs is home to Peterson and Schriever Space Force Bases, Fort Carson and the U.S. Air Force Academy, and many small local firms sell to defense primes and their subcontractors. 24uNet isn't affiliated with any military installation. We work with the private firms that supply them.
If your contract or subcontract involves Federal Contract Information (FCI), CMMC Level 1 asks you to meet the 15 basic safeguarding requirements in FAR 52.204-21, self-assess every year and affirm the result in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). We can help with:
A Level 1 gap check against all 15 requirements
Written policies and an evidence file
The annual self-assessment and SPRS affirmation
Day-to-day managed IT that keeps the controls in place

Built for RIAs, law firms and engineering firms
RIAs and broker-dealers
Written policies, Regulation S-P incident response and wire-fraud callbacks, so you can prepare for an SEC exam. See security for RIAs and financial firms.
Law firms
Client confidentiality, trust-account wires and client security questionnaires. See law firm cybersecurity.
Engineering and design firms
Drawings, models and bid emails in Microsoft 365, plus pay-application fraud. See engineering firm IT and security.
For every firm, we insist on one rule: every payment change verified by callback.
Colorado rules that start a clock after a breach
Under C.R.S. 6-1-716, a business must notify affected Colorado residents "not later than thirty days after the date of determination that a security breach occurred." If 500 or more Colorado residents are affected, the Colorado Attorney General must be notified too.
C.R.S. 6-1-713.5 also expects "reasonable security procedures and practices," including from third-party service providers such as your IT provider. Ask yours for evidence. Here's what the first hour of an incident looks like.

Frequently asked questions
Who provides cybersecurity for small businesses in Colorado Springs?
Several providers do. 24uNet is a cybersecurity-first managed IT provider, based in Commerce City, CO, that works with 10-75 person firms in Colorado Springs. Every client gets the same Security Baseline, including enforced MFA, 24/7 managed detection and response, and Microsoft 365 account takeover detection.
Does 24uNet offer on-site IT support in Colorado Springs?
Yes. 24uNet is based in Commerce City, CO 80022 and has no Colorado Springs office, but we work with clients in Colorado Springs and offer on-site service there. Most day-to-day support is remote.
Do I have to switch IT providers to work with 24uNet?
No. Many firms start with an independent security review: about an hour against our Security Baseline, with no tooling to install and no access required. The written findings are yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
Can 24uNet help Colorado Springs defense contractors get ready for CMMC Level 1?
Yes. If your contracts involve Federal Contract Information (FCI), we can check your gaps against the 15 basic safeguarding requirements in FAR 52.204-21, and help prepare your annual self-assessment and SPRS affirmation. Dane Gray, our cofounder, is a Cyber AB Registered Practitioner.
What's the difference between an MSP and an MSSP?
An MSP (managed service provider) runs your IT day to day. An MSSP (managed security service provider) focuses on security monitoring and response. 24uNet does both with one team: the engineers who answer your help desk tickets are your security engineers.
Is a hacked Microsoft 365 account a reportable breach in Colorado?
It can be. Colorado's definition of personal information includes a username or email address combined with a password that would permit access to an online account. Investigate promptly and talk to your attorney. This is general information, not legal advice.
How much do managed IT and cybersecurity cost in Colorado Springs?
It depends on your headcount and what's included. 24uNet offers one plan with security built in, with no security tier to choose between. We share pricing after a short conversation about your firm.
