Senior-led managed IT, security, and fractional CIO and CISO leadership for growing Denver and Houston businesses.
Class IV is the technology partner for growing, often regulated businesses that have outgrown informal IT but aren't ready to hire a full-time CIO or CISO. We combine three things most firms keep separate. We run the day-to-day: 24/7 managed services, cybersecurity, monitoring, and support, delivered by senior engineers rather than a rotating help desk. We lead at the executive level: fractional CIO and CISO leadership that owns IT strategy, budget, vendor accountability, compliance, and board reporting. And we build the foundation: structured cabling, low-voltage, and network infrastructure that every growing business eventually has to get right. The point of combining those three is accountability. When one partner runs the technology and also defends the spend and the strategy in business terms, nothing falls between vendors. That is the difference between an MSP and an accountable technology partner. We are not for everyone. We work with organizations that carry real obligations, whether that is a compliance framework like SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI, a cyber-insurance requirement, an acquisition, or rapid growth that is outrunning the org chart. We lead with executives and finance teams, because those are the people who feel the cost of fragmented IT. How we start matters. For a lower-friction first step, we offer the IT Spend Sanity Check: a review of whether the scope is right, whether you are overpaying for it, and whether the incumbent is underperforming. For organizations facing broader transformation, compliance pressure, or an incident, there is the 10-day Stabilization Sprint: a fixed-fee engagement that produces an executive operating plan, a prioritized risk register, a vendor accountability map, and a 90-day roadmap. Our leadership did not start at a help desk. They have run IT and information security inside some of the largest, most regulated enterprises in the country, before building Class IV. That is the experience we bring to businesses that could never hire a full-time CIO or CISO but still need one. We are based in Denver and Houston, and we serve growing businesses in both markets and beyond.
