2013
We started with an idea
Founded on a simple belief: that businesses deserve more than reactive IT support — they deserve a partner who anticipates problems before they become crises. Combining our years of information technology experience to provide best-in-class security & IT Managed Services to small and medium businesses. This vision started in Tampa, Florida as TampaBITS (business information technology services) and ran for several years.
2020
Graystone Solutions Was Formed
TampaBITS was reorganized as Graystone Solutions Group, Inc. located in Northern Louisiana & continuing in Tampa Bay. We narrowed our focus to providing managed IT Services for the Financial & Healthcare sectors.
2025
We Pivoted Graystone Into an Advanced Security Consulting Firm
What began as a managed services provider evolved into something the modern threat landscape demanded an advanced IT security consulting firm built for the challenges of today and tomorrow. The cybersecurity landscape has changed dramatically. Threats are more sophisticated, more automated, and increasingly powered by the same AI technologies that businesses are rushing to adopt. Ransomware-as-a-service has lowered the barrier for attackers. Insider risks have multiplied. And AI — while transformative — introduces a class of vulnerabilities most organizations aren’t prepared for.
We saw this coming. And we made a deliberate decision to stop managing infrastructure and start protecting it at a higher level. Our managed services background gives us something most pure-play security consultants lack: an intimate understanding of how real business IT environments are built, where the gaps live, and how attackers exploit them.
Our Approach to Artificial Intelligence
About
AI is not a buzzword at Graystone — it’s a responsibility. We believe organizations must embrace AI thoughtfully, with clear governance policies, security guardrails, and an honest assessment of the risks involved. We help clients do exactly that: leverage the productivity and competitive advantages AI offers, without exposing themselves to the threats that come with careless adoption.
At the same time, we stay ahead of how adversaries are using AI — because defending against tomorrow’s attacks requires understanding how they’ll be built.
Why Engage Graystone Solutions?
We are not a faceless consulting firm.
We are a small, senior-level team with real accountability to every client we serve.
When you work with Graystone, you work directly with experienced professionals who have seen the full arc of modern IT security — not junior analysts following a playbook.
Our clients choose us because they want a partner who tells them the truth, builds practical solutions, and stands behind their work. That hasn’t changed since 2013. Only the depth of what we offer has.
