Built by veterans for businesses that cannot afford downtime.
Trinity Data Solutions & IT Services, LLC was founded by Michael Ford in Colorado Springs in February 2020. Veteran-owned, federally registered as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and built on a simple conviction: commercial businesses deserve IT commitments in writing, not best-effort promises.
Why we exist.
You run a business where a down server means idle crews, a missed bid, or a stalled project, and where your insurance carrier now asks harder security questions than your last audit did. Most IT providers answer that reality with a generic office-IT template and an hourly rate. That gap is why TDS-IS exists.
We started in one of the most demanding regulated environments there is, healthcare-adjacent long-term care, where HIPAA compliance, 24/7 uptime, and documented controls are table stakes. We brought that same discipline to commercial businesses: three outcome-based tiers built around what carriers and auditors actually require, with guarantees in writing.
Veteran-Led Discipline
Founded and operated by U.S. Army veterans. Mission-critical uptime culture, documented procedures, and chain-of-command accountability, applied to your infrastructure.
Compliance-Grade Standards
Controls and documentation practices forged in HIPAA-covered environments, applied to cyber-insurance questionnaires, audits, and client-confidentiality obligations.
Commitments in Writing
Response times, security controls, and deliverables are written into the agreement. If your carrier asks for proof, you can produce it.
