Why it matters

Your risks are already enterprise grade.

Small and midsize businesses run on the same cloud applications, email, remote access and connected devices as large enterprises. Attackers know it, and they go after whoever is easiest to get into, not whoever is biggest. The difference is that most SMBs and SMEs face those risks without an enterprise security team behind them. That is the gap YourColo fills.

01

Attacks are automated

Phishing kits and ransomware crews scan the internet for weak logins and unpatched systems. Being small does not keep you off the list. Being hard to break into does.

02

You run enterprise software

Microsoft 365, cloud applications and remote access are the same platforms large companies use, with the same weak spots. They need the same identity, device and email controls.

03

Your customers are asking

Larger customers, partners and auditors now send security questionnaires before they sign. Multi-factor login, endpoint protection and tested backups have become the price of doing business.

04

Your insurer is asking too

Cyber insurance carriers ask about multi-factor login, endpoint detection and response and backups before they quote or renew. Gaps can mean higher premiums or narrower coverage.

05

Downtime hurts you more

A large company can absorb a week offline. Most smaller businesses cannot. Without a spare team or spare budget, preventing the outage costs far less than recovering from it.

06

The experts are hard to hire

A 24x7 security team, a network architect and identity specialists would cost more than most SMBs spend on all of IT. Through YourColo you get that bench for a predictable monthly cost.

Enterprise grade is not about size. It is about how technology is designed, run and watched.

Why small and midsize businesses need enterprise-grade IT
  • Built on proven platformsThe same Citrix, Microsoft, Okta, Juniper, Arista and Verkada platforms large organizations rely on.
  • Run like an enterpriseDesigned, documented, patched and monitored 24x7x365 by our own SOC and RMM team.
  • Sized for your businessShared experts and tooling, co-managed or fully managed, at a predictable monthly cost.

Zero Trust

The YourColo Zero Trust security architecture.

Six layers, one rule: verify every request, every time, and grant only what is needed. The same team designs, deploys and monitors every layer, and the physical layer is held to the same rule as the digital ones.

How a Zero Trust assessment works

Identity

Single sign-on and phishing-resistant multi-factor login. Access follows each person from hire to departure.

OktaCisco DuoMicrosoftEntra ID

Devices

Endpoint detection and response, patching and health checks. An unhealthy device is stopped before it reaches company data.

SentinelOneMicrosoftIntune · RMM

Network

Segmentation, firewalls and redundant connectivity. One compromised device cannot reach everything else.

HPE Juniper NetworkingAristaUbiquitiWatchGuard

Applications and workspaces

Desktops and applications on any device without a VPN, hosted by YourColo or on your infrastructure.

CitrixNutanixCloud and on-premises

Data and email

Email security, backup, data loss prevention and rights management. You know who opened a file and who it was shared with.

MicrosoftBarracudaMicrosoft 365

Physical security

Cameras, access control, alarms and intercoms on the same network and identities as everything else. One console, one support number.

Verkada

Services

Four practice areas. One partner for the network, the people on it and the doors around it.

Engagements run from co-managed, where we support your internal IT lead, to fully managed, where YourColo is the IT department.

GOVCounty governmentCitrixNutanixOkta

Mission-critical county services, available anywhere and secured by identity.

Challenge
A county government needed its mission-critical services to be available to staff remotely, without putting those systems or the data in them at risk.
Requirements
Remote access to mission-critical applications for authorized staff, a verified sign-in for every session, and applications and data kept on infrastructure the county controls.
Solution
YourColo designed and deployed Citrix on Nutanix infrastructure to deliver the county's applications and desktops as secure remote sessions, with Okta as the identity platform for single sign-on and multi-factor login.
Outcome
Authorized staff reach the services they need from wherever they work, every sign-in is verified by Okta, and the applications and data stay on infrastructure the county controls.

RTLRegulated retailVerkadaOkta

A full IT stack and physical security for a regulated retail business.

Challenge
A retail business in a regulated industry needed its complete IT stack and its physical security delivered together, held to the security expectations that come with its industry.
Requirements
One provider for the IT stack and physical security, business systems kept separate from cameras, alarms and sensors, and a single identity platform for staff.
Solution
YourColo deployed a segmented, secured network and Verkada physical security across the business: video, alarms and environmental sensors. Okta is the identity platform for staff sign-in.
Outcome
Business systems, cameras, alarms and sensors run on separate network segments and are managed together, and every staff sign-in goes through Okta.

Our story

Fifty years in IT. YourColo since 2007.

YourColo was formed in 2007, but the technical leadership behind it has been in the technology business for more than 50 years. The same people who lead and support YourColo today were deeply experienced and directly involved in every era on this timeline: the first business systems, PCs, servers and networks, local and regional internet service providers and the colocation boom that followed telecom deregulation, then virtualization, cloud and software as a service. That experience is why we build security into the network from the start. We have seen what happens when it is bolted on later.

    The careers behind YourColo begin, building and supporting business systems.

  2. 1980sPCs, servers and networks

    Personal computers reach every desk, joined by file servers and the first local area networks. Our technical leadership installs, connects and supports them.

  3. 1990sISPs and colocation

    Local and regional internet service providers bring businesses online, and colocation provides data center space, power and connectivity in the boom that followed telecom deregulation.
