Locked down.
Not locked in.
Cybersecurity and secure infrastructure for small businesses — built and supported by one engineer you can reach. Fixed-price projects, open-source tools you can audit, and written documentation on everything. No black boxes, no runaround.
Sound familiar?
Most businesses don't find out their security is weak until something goes wrong.
You shouldn't have to guess whether your backups would survive an attack, wait days for a callback, or wonder what's actually protecting you.
"I don't know if our backups would actually survive a ransomware attack."
How we fix it
We back up daily and test the restores — so you know your data is recoverable before something goes wrong, not after.
"When something goes wrong, I wait days for someone to call back."
How we fix it
You get direct access to the engineer who built your system — plus priority incident response if you're on a retainer. Not a help desk reading from a script.
"I have no idea whether my systems are actually protected."
How we fix it
We run security on open-source tools you can audit, and document everything we build. You know exactly what's protecting you — and what it costs.
What we do
Cybersecurity for businesses, in plain English.
Security first, then the reliable infrastructure that keeps your business running. No jargon, no fear-mongering — just what works.
Security Risk Assessment
A fixed-price audit of your network, endpoints, access, and backups — ending in a written, prioritized report of what to fix first.
Start here →Protect Your Network
Stop ransomware, data breaches, and unauthorized access before they happen. Firewall setup, vulnerability scanning, and a patch schedule.
Learn more →24/7 Threat Monitoring
Someone watching your systems around the clock — intrusion attempts, unusual activity, and file changes, on software you own. Compliance-ready reports included.
Learn more →Ransomware Readiness & Recovery
Backups that are actually tested, not just scheduled. If ransomware hits, you know the restore works — because we've already proven it.
Learn more →Zero Trust Remote Access
Your team works from anywhere — without opening your whole network to the internet. Every user gets only the access they need.
Learn more →Business Email, Secured
Self-hosted email with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set up — so attackers can't spoof your domain, and phishing gets filtered before it reaches inboxes.

Here's exactly what happens when you reach out.
No commitment needed to start a conversation. Every project is scoped before any work begins.
Tell us your situation
Plain English is fine. Describe the problem — you don't need to know the solution. We'll ask a few questions and help you figure out what you actually need.
We scope and price it
We write a clear scope document with a fixed price. What's included, what's not, and what you'll have when we're done. No surprises.
We build it
We do the work, keep you updated, and handle anything unexpected. No disappearing for two weeks and resurfacing with a surprise invoice.
You get the keys
Every project ends with full written documentation. You own the system and understand what we built. You're never locked in to us.
Our commitments
What you can count on — in writing.
Auditable, Open-Source Security
Your security runs on open-source tools you can inspect — Wazuh, WireGuard, pf, ZFS — not a black-box appliance. We document what's protecting you and hand you the keys.
Fixed-Price Guarantee
Every project is quoted before work begins. The price you agree to is the price you pay — no hourly overruns, no surprise invoices.
Blake Handles Your Project
You work with Blake directly through scope and delivery — not a help desk or a subcontractor. When the project wraps, our CTO takes over ongoing support so you're never left waiting.
You Own Everything
Every project is handed off with full written documentation. You own the system — you can hand it to anyone, anytime. No lock-in.

Who's behind Arcline
Built by someone who secures HIPAA-regulated infrastructure for a living.
My day job is Infrastructure Engineering and Site Reliability in the healthcare industry — keeping HIPAA-regulated systems secure and running under pressure, where a breach or downtime has real consequences. I noticed that most small businesses were paying too much for security that barely worked, sold by providers who treated them as tickets in a queue.
I started Arcline to offer something different: security you can see through, built and supported by people you can reach. Today, I'm still the engineer who handles every project start to finish — but I've brought in a team to support you after delivery. We acquired Saibeo Solutions, bringing on their CEO, Ed Do, as our CTO who manages ongoing maintenance and support. My fiancée Kari A. joined as CMO to help get the word out to businesses that need real security.
The core hasn't changed: you still work with the engineer who built your system. We just have more capacity to take care of you after the project is done.
