We protect the orgs
everyone else overlooks.

Security consulting for grassroots organizations, LGBTQ+ nonprofits, and small mission-driven groups left out of mainstream corporate and government protection — built by someone who's spent a career keeping enterprise systems safe.

Security is the core of what we do — but if your org needs broader cloud infrastructure help too, that's in scope as well.

Who we protect

Small orgs. Real targets.

Groups doing essential work are often the ones most exposed — and least equipped to defend themselves. That mismatch is the whole reason this company exists.

01 · lgbtq+ nonprofits

Community & advocacy orgs

Centers, youth programs, and advocacy groups facing coordinated harassment and targeted attacks, not just generic cybercrime.

02 · grassroots groups

Volunteer-run organizations

Mutual aid, reproductive rights, immigrant rights, and racial justice groups running on donated time and small budgets.

03 · mission-aligned small biz

Values-driven small businesses

LGBTQ+-owned and mission-aligned businesses that need real security but aren't a fit for enterprise firms or their pricing.

What we do

Security first. Cloud expertise beyond that.

No jargon dumps. Every engagement ends with a clear report and fixes that actually get made — not a PDF that sits in a drawer.

01
Security assessment
A full review of your website and public-facing systems — outdated software, missing protections, exposed configurations — authorized and scoped in writing before anything starts.
Most requested
02
Remediation & hardening
Fixing what we find — plugin updates, header configuration, access controls — done for you, not just reported to you.
Hands-on
03
Ongoing monitoring
Recurring checks so new vulnerabilities get caught before they get exploited — sized to fit a small org's budget.
Retainer
04
Board & staff training
Plain-language sessions on phishing, password hygiene, and incident response — built for people without a technical background.
Workshop
Also available

Security is the specialty — but if your org needs a hand with the rest of your cloud footprint, that's covered too.

Cloud building & consulting
Architecture, setup, and advice for orgs building out cloud infrastructure from scratch or leveling up an existing one.
Ongoing maintenance
Keeping systems patched, running, and healthy after the initial build — not a one-and-done handoff.
Email hosting & setup
Reliable, properly configured email for your org — including the security basics (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) most small orgs miss.
Automation
Scripting away repetitive manual work — deployments, backups, reporting — so your small team's time goes further.
On-premise & server support
Cloud is the core specialty, but we're glad to help with on-premise setups too.
How it works

Straightforward, from first call to fix.

Step 1

Conversation

A short call to understand what you run and what you're worried about.

Step 2

Written authorization

A clear scope-of-work document — what's tested, when, and how — signed before anything begins.

Step 3

Assessment

Testing runs within the agreed window, rate-limited to protect your site's performance.

Step 4

Plain-language report

Findings ranked by severity, with fixes explained — and made, if that's part of the engagement.

"Ally Cloud Consulting" started as a question: what does it look like for a straight man to show up for LGBTQ+ communities with the skills he actually has?

Fifteen years in cloud engineering and devsecops taught me how enterprise systems get protected — and how rarely that protection reaches the organizations that need it most.

Small nonprofits and grassroots groups are frequently the most exposed and the least resourced: no security budget, no IT staff, and often a target painted on their back simply for doing the work they do.

This company exists to close that gap — bringing real, enterprise-grade security practice to the organizations mainstream firms don't see, and won't chase.
