North Star provides managed IT services and cybersecurity for Fort Collins and Northern Colorado businesses of roughly 5 to 300 endpoints. We run the day-to-day IT that keeps a business operating and the security program that protects it, in one team, for organizations from Fort Collins and Loveland to Windsor and Greeley.
Northern Colorado’s businesses have grown quickly, and their technology has often grown by accretion: a server bought for a ten-person office now supporting forty, a mix of personal and company devices, a backup set up years ago by someone who has since left. We bring that environment under management, document it, secure it and plan its next few years.
A company that doubled in headcount usually did not double its IT planning. We inventory what is running, retire what should be retired, standardize devices and accounts, and replace guesswork with monitoring and a budgeted roadmap. Many growing firms also use this moment to retire on-premises servers entirely.
Northern Colorado has a strong base of manufacturers, food and beverage producers, agricultural businesses and contractors whose operations depend on equipment connected to the same network as the office. We segment production and operational systems from office IT so one compromised laptop cannot stop the line. See our manufacturing and construction pages.
If you have a capable internal technologist, the risk is depth and coverage, not competence: vacations, after-hours incidents and the specialist security work nobody has time for. Co-managed IT gives that person a team behind them without replacing them.
Cyber insurance renewals and larger customers’ vendor questionnaires now ask detailed questions about multi-factor authentication, backups, monitoring and training. We put those controls in place and keep the evidence ready, so the questionnaire is a formality.
We also bring compliance depth where it applies, including HIPAA for medical and dental practices, the FTC Safeguards Rule for tax and accounting firms and auto dealerships, and records and transparency requirements for special districts.
We support organizations across Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Greeley and the surrounding Larimer and Weld County communities. We also serve the Denver metro area, the north metro and Colorado Springs.
With a network health and security assessment. We inventory what is actually running, test whether your protections work and give you a ranked, budgeted roadmap, whether or not you engage us afterward. For a security-only view, request a complimentary cybersecurity risk assessment.
Yes. Most issues are resolved remotely because that is fastest, and our technicians travel to Northern Colorado clients when a problem or project needs a person on-site.
Yes. Co-managed IT is built for exactly that. We cover monitoring, security operations, after-hours response and specialist projects while your internal technologist stays in charge of the day-to-day.
Roughly 5 to 300 endpoints, in any industry. Most of our clients have no compliance obligation; they need technology that works and security that holds up.
