Is Bastion right for you?
This is for you if…
- You have 10 to 50 staff and rely heavily on technology to operate day-to-day
- You're tired of reactive IT support and vague ticket responses
- You've invested in IT before but still feel unsure what's actually protected
- You want proactive cybersecurity and clear accountability
- You're growing and need systems that support the business instead of slowing it down
- You're responsible for operations, compliance, staff or client experience and can't afford avoidable downtime
This is NOT for you if…
- You only want the cheapest possible IT provider
- You're comfortable waiting days for support responses
- You prefer fixing problems only after something breaks
- You don't see cybersecurity or operational continuity as a business priority
- You're looking for a transactional "call us when it breaks" relationship
Protection should not depend on fear
Most providers in this category sell dread. We do not. A good bastion is quiet: you are protected, and you get on with your day without thinking about the walls.
We handle the risk, explain it in plain terms, and never use it against you.

Michael Kriewaldt, Founder, Bastion
Who you'll be talking to
I don't do sales calls. I solve problems.
I've spent 20+ years building, fixing, and securing IT systems for businesses that can't afford to get it wrong. Not theory. Not certifications on a wall. Hands-on, in-the-trenches work across infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud migrations, and disaster recovery.
I started Bastion because I kept seeing the same thing, businesses paying good money to providers who were reactive at best and invisible at worst. I figured if I was going to fix that, I should just do it myself.
"I'll tell you exactly what's going on, what needs fixing, and what it'll cost. No jargon, no runaround. If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you that too."
I'm based in Brisbane and work with professional firms, clinics, and operational businesses across South East Queensland, from the Sunshine Coast down to the Gold Coast and out to Dalby.
Don't just take our word for it
We have been using Michael's services for several years now and there is nothing he can't do when it comes to problem solving — he always sorts it out. We can't afford downtime and he always gets us back up and going again quickly. I can highly recommend his services.
Michael has been our IT specialist for many years now. He is reliable, trustworthy, easy to deal with and incredibly smart. Our business is in Roma, and he keeps us and our computers running smoothly from his Brisbane base. Nothing is too hard or too much trouble for Michael and his team.
