Denver managed IT services with security built in, not bolted on
Lots of Denver firms already have someone who "does IT." What's often missing is someone who owns security from end to end. Who checks that MFA is on for every account, including the old shared mailbox? Who notices a sign-in from a city nobody has visited, or tests a backup before it's needed? At 24uNet, the engineers who answer your help desk tickets are the same people who watch your security, so nothing falls between two vendors.
What a Denver client gets from one team:
• Help desk and day-to-day IT support for your staff, remote first, with on-site visits around the metro when a project calls for it.
• Email, cloud account and device management, including laptops, phones, onboarding and offboarding. Our employee offboarding checklist shows how we close accounts properly.
• Managed detection and response, with analysts who investigate and act on threats instead of forwarding alerts to your inbox.
• Identity threat detection and response (ITDR), which watches for stolen sessions, rogue app consents and hidden inbox rules, the tricks behind most account takeovers. It's also why MFA alone isn't enough.
• Security awareness, so staff can spot a fake IT help desk call or a payment change that doesn't add up.
Network security for Denver offices, home offices and job sites
Denver-area teams rarely sit in a single office anymore. You may have staff downtown, people working from Lakewood or Thornton, and project folks on site in Aurora or Broomfield. Every one of those connections is part of your network. Our network security review looks at the pieces that tend to drift over time:
• Firewall rules and firmware that nobody has looked at since the office move
• Remote access protected by MFA, not a password alone
• Guest Wi-Fi and smart devices kept off the business network
• Web filtering, and patching for every laptop, wherever it sits
Cybersecurity for Denver law firms, RIAs, engineers and architects
We focus on professional firms where a breach does more than cost money. It costs client trust.
• Law firms: Client confidentiality depends on more than the case management system. We tighten email, file sharing and mobile access, and we close the side doors where client files end up in personal inboxes.
• Financial services and RIAs: Examiners want evidence, not promises. We help you answer what SEC examiners ask your IT provider, and we build call-back steps that stop wire fraud before the money moves.
• Engineering firms: Big project files, remote staff and client security questionnaires. We help you protect design files before you sign the contract and fix slow file access without risky workarounds.
• Architecture firms: Ransomware hits hard when every project lives on one file share. See our guide to ransomware protection for architecture and engineering firms.
If you're a defense supplier anywhere along the Front Range, our CMMC readiness work covers the basic safeguarding requirements for Federal Contract Information.

The Colorado Privacy Act and Colorado breach law: what Denver businesses should know
Two Colorado laws come up most often in our conversations with Denver firms.
Colorado's data security and breach notification law applies to any business that keeps personal information about Colorado residents, no matter its size. According to the Colorado Attorney General, you must keep reasonable security procedures in place and require your third-party service providers, including your IT provider, to do the same. If a breach occurs, you must notify affected Coloradans within 30 days of determining that it happened, and you must notify the Attorney General if 500 or more residents are affected. Personal information includes a username or email address combined with a password that would allow access to an online account, so a hijacked email account can count.
The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) took effect July 1, 2023. It applies to businesses that process the personal data of 100,000 or more Colorado consumers in a year, or that earn revenue from selling the personal data of 25,000 or more. Many small professional firms fall below those thresholds. The CPA also doesn't cover employee data or business-to-business contacts, and it excludes financial institutions subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Even so, its requirement for "reasonable security practices" mirrors what Colorado's breach law already expects of everyone.
Your next step is to put evidence on file: who has access, how accounts are protected, how backups are tested and what happens in the first hour of an incident. This is general information, not legal advice. Talk to your attorney about how these laws apply to you.
Business continuity and backup for the Denver metro
Hail, a burst pipe, a dead server and ransomware all have the same result: your team can't work. Our business continuity and disaster recovery service gives Denver firms a written plan, a recovery approach for each key system, and backups we prove by restoring them. If you're wondering whether your cloud email is already backed up, start with does your cloud email back up your data?
Two ways to work with 24uNet in Colorado
• The Security Baseline, delivered through the Cybersecurity Business Bundle. This is one ongoing plan for help desk, IT management and security, and it's the right fit for firms that want a single team to own everything.
• Service Authorization. Not ready for a full managed services agreement (MSA)? Service Authorization lets you approve defined work, such as a network security review or a specific project, without signing a long-term contract.
Either way, you can start with the free Security Baseline checklist and take it to whoever supports you today.

Frequently asked questions
Who provides cybersecurity and managed IT for small businesses in Denver?
Many providers do. 24uNet is a cybersecurity-first managed IT provider based in Commerce City, CO, serving the Denver metro since 2004. Every client starts from the same Security Baseline: enforced MFA, managed detection and response, tested backups and an incident response plan.
Does 24uNet offer on-site IT support in Denver?
Yes. We're based in Commerce City and provide on-site visits across the Denver metro when a project calls for one. Most day-to-day support is remote.
Do I have to switch IT providers to work with 24uNet?
No. Many Denver firms start with an independent security review or the free Security Baseline checklist and share the findings with their current provider. The written findings are yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
Do I need a full managed services agreement?
No. Firms that want one team for IT and security can choose the Cybersecurity Business Bundle. Firms that don't want a full MSA can use Service Authorization to approve specific work, such as a network security review.
Does the Colorado Privacy Act apply to my small business?
Possibly not. According to the Colorado Attorney General, the CPA applies to businesses that process the personal data of 100,000 or more Colorado consumers a year, or that earn revenue from selling the personal data of 25,000 or more. Colorado's breach notification law applies more broadly. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is a hacked email 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 allow access to an online account. Investigate promptly and talk to your attorney.
What's included in network security for a Denver office?
A network security review covers firewall rules and firmware, MFA on remote access, separating guest Wi-Fi and smart devices from the business network, web filtering and patching for every device, including home laptops.
How much do managed IT and cybersecurity cost in Denver?
It depends on your headcount and what's included. 24uNet offers one plan with security built in, so there's no security tier to choose between. We share pricing after a short conversation about your firm.
