Managed IT + practical cybersecurity for Missoula teams
Reliable IT. A stronger security baseline. One local team.
Granite Peak helps Missoula organizations manage Microsoft 365, networks, devices and everyday support — whether you have no dedicated IT or a small team that needs backup — while building the controls insurers and customers increasingly ask about.
Straight fit check. No scare pitch.
- Missoula-first
- Built for 5–75 employees
- Remote speed + hands-on help
- Documented baseline
Outcomes, not jargon
What a steady setup actually gives you
The point of managed IT is not more technology — it is fewer surprises and a team that can rely on the tools in front of them.
Keep people working
Fast, local help so everyday issues do not stall the office.
Know access is controlled
Clear accounts, MFA and real offboarding when people leave.
Recover with confidence
Backups that are offsite and actually tested — not assumed.
Answer security questions
Documented controls for insurers and customers who now ask.
The Granite Peak Baseline
Five layers, in plain English
A defensible baseline is not about buying more tools. It is about knowing each layer is appropriate, implemented, owned and verified.
Multi-factor authentication on every account, tightened Microsoft 365 sign-in policies, and phishing-resistant keys for the roles that would hurt most if compromised.
Example statuses shown for illustration — your baseline starts with an honest assessment of where you are today.

Honest fit
Who this is for — and who it is not
A good fit if…
- 5–75 employees with no dedicated IT — or a small team that needs backup
- A Microsoft 365 environment you rely on daily
- A need to answer insurer or customer security questions
- A preference for one accountable local partner
Probably not a fit if…
- Large enterprises needing a 24/7 security operations center
- Organizations wanting the cheapest possible break/fix only
- Teams unwilling to adopt a basic security baseline
- Highly specialized needs better served by a niche vendor
Local & accountable
A founder-led partner in Missoula
Granite Peak is intentionally small and local. That means direct accountability and standards you can see — not a support model that hides behind tiers and hold music.
- Direct access, clear accountability—without the call-center runaround.
- Recommendations are prioritized by risk and budget, in plain English.
- We document what we do, so nothing lives only in one person’s head.
What you receive
Documentation you can actually use
Every engagement produces artifacts you own — not knowledge trapped in one person’s head.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you work with teams that already have IT?
Yes. Whether you have no IT at all, one stretched-thin person, or an internal team that needs backup, we can be your whole IT function or co-manage alongside the people you already have — with clear, documented ownership either way.
Are you an alarmist security company?
No. We build a calm, documented baseline and make plain-English recommendations prioritized by risk and budget. No scare stats, no fake alerts, no pressure.
What does it cost?
We give a responsible fixed monthly quote after a short fit assessment. Pricing depends on users, devices, sites, support window and complexity — see Plans & Fit for the drivers.
What area do you serve?
Missoula, with remote support across Montana. We combine remote speed with hands-on local help.
