The nearest "IT guy" may be two hours away, so problems wait and backups go unchecked.

Rated 5.0 on Google (9 reviews). Headquartered in Billings, Montana. Serving businesses nationwide.
Works with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and the software your industry runs on.
Galactica CyberSecurity provides managed IT services, IT support and cybersecurity to Montana businesses from our headquarters at 2341 Broadwater Ave Ste D in Billings. Monitoring, help desk and most projects are remote, so a clinic in Kalispell, a contractor in Bozeman and a nonprofit in Missoula get the same 24x7 coverage as our neighbors in Billings, with scheduled onsite visits when work needs hands. Start with a free 15-minute Cyber Strategy Session.
What it looks like
What statewide coverage looks like
- Great Falls, 7:15 AM. A processing plant’s line computer won’t boot. Remote repair before the first shift stands around.
- Bozeman, 11:00 AM. A fast-growing engineering firm adds four hires. Accounts, laptops and MFA are ready the same week.
- Helena, 2:30 PM. A law firm’s cyber insurance renewal asks for proof of EDR and backups. The documentation is already in their portal.
- Kalispell, 1:00 AM. A resort’s front-desk PC starts behaving like ransomware. Isolated by the SOC; the lobby opens on time.

What Montana businesses are up against
Lean teams.
The office manager is the IT department, and attackers count on it.
Regulated work everywhere.
Clinics, firms, lenders and federal suppliers all carry requirements that need documentation, not good intentions.
Seasonal swings.
Resort, ag and construction businesses staff up fast, and fast onboarding is where shared passwords get born.

How we cover the state
Remote-first, with a home base in Billings
Most of what keeps a business safe happens from a screen: monitoring, patching, backup checks, help desk. We built the company that way, which is why distance is not a problem for a Montana client. When a project needs hands, we schedule it, and Billings clients get same-day onsite for urgent issues.
Our office is at 2341 Broadwater Ave Ste D, Billings, MT 59102. The phone, (406) 534-0911, is answered 24x7.

How it works
Three steps from "we should look at this" to protected
01
Free Cyber Strategy Session.
Fifteen minutes with Tanner. You tell us how the business runs; we tell you where you’re exposed and what we’d fix first.
02
A plan with one number on it.
We scope a flat monthly plan around your users, devices and the requirements your industry has to meet. You see the full number before you sign anything. Onboarding takes about 30 days, and protection starts on day one.
03
Protection that keeps running.
24x7 monitoring and response, a help desk your team actually uses, and a quarterly review where we show you what we stopped and what to do next.
Open 24x7
Phone answered and systems watched around the clock

Cyber Risk Scorecard
How does your Montana business score? 2 minutes, 10 questions.
Ten questions, no email needed to see your score. Scores are a planning estimate based on your answers, not an audit.
Trust and compliance
What we stand behind
Galactica CyberSecurity is a Montana company with a real office, a real phone that is answered 24x7, and a security operations center watching client systems around the clock. We help clients meet HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, PCI-DSS, GLBA and cyber insurance requirements by putting the safeguards in place and keeping the evidence current. We do not certify compliance, and we will tell you plainly when a requirement is outside what we do.
FAQ
Questions we get asked
Do you serve all of Montana?
Yes. Monitoring, help desk and most projects are remote. Onsite work is routine in Billings and scheduled across the rest of the state.
Where is your office?
2341 Broadwater Ave Ste D, Billings, MT 59102. Open 24x7 by phone at (406) 534-0911.
Which Montana cities do you serve?
Can a small Montana business afford managed IT?
Yes. It is one flat monthly rate based on headcount and what needs protecting, with no per-ticket fees, and you see the full number before you sign anything. Plans are scoped to headcount, so a 6-person office pays for a 6-person office. The pricing page explains what goes into the number, and the Get Pricing form there is the fastest way to get yours.
How do onsite visits work outside Billings?
Scheduled, bundled when possible, and included in the plan or quoted in advance depending on the work.
Do you work with Montana nonprofits and clinics?
Yes, both are among our largest client groups. See nonprofits and medical and dental.
Are you a Montana company?
Yes. Galactica CyberSecurity is headquartered in Billings and has been serving Montana businesses for more than 25 years.
What happens on the free session?
In 15 minutes, Tanner asks how your business runs, looks at where you are most exposed (email, backups, devices, logins), and tells you what he would fix first and whether Galactica is a fit.
