Bluekey has been keeping my business systems running smoothly for nearly a decade. If my systems are down, I cannot make money, when I call Bluekey with a problem they are always quick to answer the phone and give me back up and going in short order. I am so thankful to have them on my side.

We've worked with Blue Key for well over a decade, and they've been much more than just an IT company. As our firm has grown, they've been a true technology partner, helping us upgrade our systems, improve security, and make sure our infrastructure keeps pace with our business. One of the things we value most is their responsiveness. Our team is spread across the country, so having 24/7 support that anyone on our team can access is incredibly important. No matter when an issue comes up, Blue Key is there to help quickly and professionally. If you're looking for an IT company that is proactive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, I highly recommend Blue Key. They've played an important role in supporting our growth, and we're grateful for the partnership.

Included Consulting vs. vCIO and vCISO Packages

Managed IT clients get basic consulting and quarterly business reviews as part of their plan. When you need a formal roadmap, budget, and vendor management, or a structured security and compliance program, a vCIO or vCISO package adds that depth. Projects such as migrations, office moves, and assessments are quoted separately.

How It Works

  • 1. Assess

    We start with a technology or security assessment to understand your current systems, risks, and goals.

  • 2. Plan

    We build a roadmap and budget that rank the work by business impact and risk, with costs up front.

  • 3. Review and adjust

    We meet quarterly to track progress, review new risks, and update the plan as your business changes.

Support requests that come out of planning follow our standard help desk response times: 1 business hour for critical issues, 2 hours for high, 4 hours for medium, and 8 hours for low priority requests.

Who It’s For

Business owners and leadership teams who want technology decisions tied to business goals, and in-house IT leads who need strategic or security support. We work with medical practices, dental offices, law firms, accounting firms, architecture and engineering firms, and growing companies. Have an internal IT team? See co-managed IT.

Pricing

Basic consulting and quarterly business reviews are included in our managed IT services plans. vCIO and vCISO packages are scoped to your needs, and projects such as migrations and office moves are quoted per project.

IT Consulting and vCIO FAQ

What is a vCIO?

A vCIO, or virtual chief information officer, is an outside technology leader who plans your IT strategy, budget, and roadmap on a part-time basis. You get CIO-level guidance without the cost of a full-time executive.

What is a vCISO?

A vCISO, or virtual chief information security officer, leads your cybersecurity program on a part-time basis. A vCISO assesses risk, prioritizes security improvements, and helps you meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA and CMMC.

What is the difference between a vCIO and a vCISO?

A vCIO focuses on technology strategy, budgets, and vendors. A vCISO focuses on security risk and compliance. Many businesses start with one and add the other as their needs grow.

Is IT consulting included in BlueKey managed IT plans?

Yes. Basic IT consulting, such as advice on purchases, upgrades, and fixes, and quarterly business reviews are included in every managed IT plan. vCIO and vCISO packages are available for more complex engagements and are scoped separately.

What happens in a quarterly business review?

We review your support tickets, security posture, aging hardware, and upcoming renewals, then update your IT roadmap and budget. You leave with a short list of priorities for the next quarter.

Can you help us prepare for HIPAA or CMMC?

Yes. We assess your current environment against the requirements, identify gaps, and help you put the technical controls in place. For CMMC, formal certification assessments are performed by an authorized third-party assessor, and we help you get ready for that review.

Do you handle cloud and server migrations?

Yes. We plan and complete migrations to the cloud, between cloud platforms, and to new on-site or hosted servers. Migrations are scoped and quoted as projects.

Can you help with an office move or new office setup?

Yes. We plan internet service, network and WiFi, and workstation setup ahead of your move, then handle the cutover so your team can work on day one.
