Managed IT that grows with you
What we manage
Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace
Identity configuration, security policies, license management, and admin operations across both platforms.
Identity & access lifecycle
Onboarding, offboarding, and access reviews. Every employee gets the right access on day one, and loses it the moment they leave.
Device management
Endpoint protection, mobile device management, and security baselines enforced across every laptop and phone in your fleet.
Asset register
A current inventory of the hardware and software you own, each asset carrying an owner, a location, and where it sits in its life, so nothing walks out with a leaver and no renewal arrives as a surprise.
1Password credential management
Vault architecture, team provisioning, and credential lifecycle management. No more shared passwords in spreadsheets.
DNS & edge security via Cloudflare
DNS management, DDoS protection, and edge security. Fast, secure, and always on.
Sound familiar?
“Former employees still have access to everything.”
We implement automated offboarding that revokes access across every system within hours.
“We don't have an IT team but employees need support.”
Direct access to engineers who know your environment. Named people who understand your stack and answer you directly.
“Our admin consoles are a mess and nobody knows who has access to what.”
We audit, clean up, and document every admin console. Then we maintain it with access reviews and change management.
Why companies choose Cloud Sentry for IT
Your IT needs to do more than reset passwords.
A ticket-based IT agreement
Scoped to keeping things running
- ✓Handles routine support well
- ×A queue where the responder changes every time
- ×Security hardening usually sits outside the scope
- ×Identity lifecycle rarely included
- ×Vendor security reviews are a separate engagement
It keeps things running, which is what it was written to do. Whether the wiring is safe is a different scope.
Hiring in-house
One IT generalist, $80-120K
- ✓Dedicated person who knows your environment
- ×Single point of failure: vacations, sick days, turnover
- ×Rarely has security, compliance, or cloud expertise
- ×No 24/7 coverage
- ×One person can’t cover identity, devices, cloud, and security
One person wearing five hats. None of them fit well.
Cloud Sentry
Engineers who know your environment by name
- ✓Direct access to named engineers
- ✓Identity, devices, M365, Google, Cloudflare, 1Password. All managed
- ✓Security hardening built into every IT decision
- ✓Onboarding and offboarding in minutes
- ✓Same team handles IT, security, and compliance
IT that keeps pace with you well past the six-month mark.
IT operations that pass the audit
Your current IT provider keeps the lights on. We keep the lights on and pass the audit. Every operational process we run is designed with compliance in mind: onboarding, offboarding, access reviews, change management.
One partner for IT operations and compliance. No more coordinating between vendors who don't talk to each other.
A typical IT agreement
- Ticket-based support
- Scoped to respond once something breaks
- Compliance usually out of scope
- Standard playbooks
Cloud Sentry
- Direct engineer access
- Proactive monitoring
- Compliance-aligned operations
- Environment-specific knowledge

Platforms We Manage
The stack that powers your business, hardened end-to-end.
We architect, monitor, and secure the platforms you already run.
Not a ticket queue
One front door, and a human answers.
Every request goes through one front door in the platform: an IT problem, an access change, a new hire, even the question someone is embarrassed to ask. A real person answers, you always see where it stands, and asking is always welcome. Support that moves the first time.
