About Techie Gurus

A privately-held business delivering enterprise-grade cybersecurity and IT solutions with direct accountability to you, not shareholders.

Our Story

In 2008, Techie Gurus began with a moment of frustration.

After years working inside the managed IT space, we kept seeing the same scene play out:
Businesses were being sold outdated technology, stuck with slow, reactive IT teams, and told that "this is just how it is." Security was an afterthought. Strategy wasn't even in the conversation. And companies were paying the price in downtime, inefficiency, and growing cyber risk.

We knew there had to be a better way.

So we decided to build it.

The Early Days

At first, we were a small consultancy—just helping companies fix problems and modernize systems. But as we dug deeper into clients' environments, we realized something bigger:
Most of their issues weren't technical at all. They were strategic.

Leaders wanted to grow.
Their teams wanted stability.
But their technology was holding them back.

They weren't failing because they lacked tools.
They were failing because they lacked direction.

Becoming Something More

By 2011, we shifted into full managed IT because clients needed more than advice—they needed execution. They needed someone to get their environment under control, reduce the noise, and give them room to think.

Then the tide turned.

Attacks grew sharper. Criminals got smarter. AI leveled the playing field for bad actors. We watched businesses suffer not because they were careless, but because they didn't know what they were up against.

In 2018, we made a decision:
If we were going to protect businesses, cybersecurity couldn't be a service line. It had to be the foundation.

The Shift to Strategy

Today, Techie Gurus is built on one belief:
IT and cybersecurity should fuel growth, not restrict it.

We don't lead with fear.
We don't hide behind buzzwords.
And we don't tell you "no" when your business needs to move.

Instead, we show you how to move securely—backed by strategy, clarity, and a roadmap that actually aligns with how your company operates.

Leaders come to us because they're tired of being stuck in reactive mode.
They're tired of feeling exposed.
They're tired of settling for an IT provider when what they really need is a partner invested in their success.

The Impact

Today, we help protect over a billion dollars in client assets and prevent millions in attempted fraud every year. But the real win isn't the numbers—it's the transformation we see in our clients.

About 90 days in, we hear the same thing:

"This is the first time we've ever worked with a company that was more than just IT. You understand our business. You've reduced our risk. You've given us a path we can trust."

That moment—that shift—is why we exist.

Where We're Going

We believe every business should be able to grow without living in fear of the next cyber attack.
We believe strategy should guide technology, not the other way around.
And we believe that when leaders understand their risks, they gain the confidence to take bigger, smarter steps.

Our job is simple:
Guide you. Challenge you. Protect you.
And help your business become the strongest version of itself.

This is the story of Techie Gurus.
And if you're ready for a better way to do IT and cybersecurity, we're here to write the next chapter with you.
