Independent technology consulting · Est. 2004
Clyde Development is an independent consultancy in Longmont, Colorado. Since 2004 it has helped organizations plan, build, secure, and run the technology their work depends on, from infrastructure and cybersecurity to AI automation and CMMC readiness.
The technology has changed a great deal since 2004, from on-premise servers to cloud platforms, modern security requirements, and now AI. The approach hasn't: understand the business, recommend what actually fits, and stay involved through implementation.
2004
More than twenty years of continuous, independent operation.
Independent
Work directly with an experienced consultant, without layers or hand-offs.
Hands-on
Recommendations backed by the ability to implement them.
Most engagements draw on more than one of these. That range is deliberate: infrastructure, security, business systems, and AI decisions all affect each other.
AI strategy, tool evaluation, workflow automation, integrations, and custom AI-assisted solutions.
Technology planning, systems administration, networks and servers, cloud, and Microsoft 365.
Security assessments, hardening, incident response support, and recovery of compromised systems.
Level 2 readiness planning, documentation, control tracking, and ongoing compliance management.
SEO, analytics and conversion measurement, affiliate and lead generation strategy, and marketing technology.
Websites, custom business applications, systems integration, and specialized internal tools.
Find out what AI can realistically do for your business, then put it to work. Clyde Development helps evaluate tools, automate workflows, connect AI to existing systems, and adopt it with security and data handling in mind.
For organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information, readiness comes down to documentation, configuration, and ongoing discipline. Clyde Development helps organize all three and supports compliance after the initial push.
Readiness and compliance support only. Formal CMMC certification assessments are performed by authorized third-party assessment organizations (C3PAOs). A software tool for CMMC documentation and tracking is in development.
CMMC readinessClyde Development is deliberately small. Engagements are led directly by Frank Baris, who founded the company in 2004, so the person who assesses a problem is the person who solves it.
The company takes on a limited number of engagements at a time. That keeps the work focused and the communication direct.
Whether you're weighing an AI initiative, preparing for CMMC, or need experienced help with infrastructure or security, send a short description of what you're working on. Current commitments are substantial, so new engagements are taken on selectively.
