The History of Skafos IT Consulting LLC Skafos was originally founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 2018 as Skafos Consulting, providing technology support and cloud administration services to small businesses operating without internal IT leadership. Between 2021 and 2022, the organization began transitioning its operations to Wisconsin in response to growing demand from businesses in the Fox Valley region seeking structured IT support and cybersecurity oversight. In 2026, the company formally rebranded from Skafos Consulting to Skafos IT Consulting LLC, continuing to operate under the trade name Skafos Consulting. The rebrand reflected an expanded focus on managed IT services, cybersecurity governance, and long-term infrastructure planning for small and mid-sized organizations. Now headquartered in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, Skafos IT Consulting was established to address a persistent gap in how growing businesses across the Midwest were receiving IT support. At the time, many organizations were relying on one of two service models: Reactive break-fix technicians engaged only after system failuresLarge national providers offering remote support without operational familiarity Both approaches often resulted in avoidable downtime, inconsistent cybersecurity controls, and fragmented technology planning—leaving leadership teams without a clear strategy for managing infrastructure risk or scaling operations. Founded by Luciana Coombs, Skafos introduced a structured, security-aligned managed services model designed to replace incident-driven support with proactive infrastructure management. From its inception, the company emphasized: Continuous monitoring of endpoints and network environmentsStandardized patch and vulnerability managementVerified backup and disaster recovery planningCloud adoption through Microsoft 365 and AzureCompliance-aligned security controls based on NIST guidelines As client needs evolved to include remote workforce enablement, cyber-insurance requirements, and audit readiness, Skafos expanded its service delivery to incorporate strategic IT planning through a Fractional CTO framework. Today, Skafos IT Consulting operates as a Wisconsin-based Managed Services Provider supporting organizations throughout the Midwest with predictable, outcome-based IT management—designed to reduce operational disruption, strengthen cybersecurity posture, and align technology investment with long-term business objectives.
