Why Trimontia

Enterprise IT expertise —
at a price that makes sense.

Growing companies under 100 employees carry the same IT security and compliance obligations as large enterprises — but have never had access to the same quality of expertise. Enterprise consultancies price them out. Freelancers lack methodology. MSPs focus on reactive support, not strategic oversight.

Trimontia fills that gap. We are IT security, operations and governance specialists with a decade of hands-on enterprise experience in the exact tools your company runs — Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Intune, Defender, CrowdStrike — delivering structured, documented, senior-level work at a price sub-100 companies can justify.

One point of contact. No handoffs. No junior analysts reviewing senior work. Every deliverable comes directly from the specialist who scoped and built it.

"Three hills built Plovdiv over 8,000 years — one stone at a time. Deep foundations outlast everything built on sand."
⚖️
NIS2 compliance exposure
Deadlines passed October 2024. Enforcement is active. Most EU SMBs remain non-compliant with no documented risk register.
🔓
Unknown security posture
No endpoint governance, no audit trail, no answer when investors or enterprise clients ask about security.
🤖
AI deployed without governance
Copilot and generative AI tools across the team with no usage policy, no data controls, no EU AI Act mapping.
💶
Unaffordable alternatives
Big4 firms start at €15,000+. MSPs are reactive. No structured mid-market option has ever existed for this segment — until now.
The Three Hills

Three pillars. One consultancy.

Named after Trimontium — the Roman name for Plovdiv, meaning "Three Hills." Every service we deliver maps to one of three pillars. Every retainer spans all three.

I
Security
The citadel. The first line of defence.
CrowdStrike Falcon EDR — policy, triage, remediation
Microsoft Defender Suite — Endpoint, Identity, Office 365, Cloud Apps
Email security — SPF/DKIM/DMARC, anti-phishing, Safe Links
NIS2 readiness — gap analysis, risk register, roadmap
IT Security Audits — endpoint, identity, access, cloud
WiFi site surveys (EMEA) — Ekahau Sidekick
II
Operations & Infrastructure
The engine room. Where things get built.
Azure Entra ID — identity lifecycle, conditional access, MFA
Microsoft Intune / MDM — enrolment, compliance, Autopilot
On-premises & hybrid Active Directory — AD DS, GPO, security tiering
Azure Virtual Machines — deployment, backup, Site Recovery, migration
Azure Networking — VNet, VPN Gateway, Firewall, App Gateway, Bastion, Private Link
Patch management, onboarding/offboarding SOPs
III
Governance & AI
Where structure, policy and control converge.
M365 & Copilot governance — admin controls, DLP, lifecycle
AI Governance Frameworks — EU AI Act mapping, risk classification
ISO 27001 — full ISMS build, internal audit, certification preparation
NIS2 / ISO 9001 alignment and audit preparation
IT operations frameworks — escalation maps, RACI, SOPs
Monthly board-ready leadership & security summaries

Common Questions

Before you get in touch.

Every retainer includes a monthly security posture report delivered by the 5th of each month. From Tier 2: async support hours, M365 and Copilot governance oversight, Microsoft Defender monitoring, and NIS2 gap tracking. From Tier 3: monthly board-ready leadership summary, Azure infrastructure advisory, and on-prem/hybrid AD oversight. Tier 4 adds multi-tenant governance, full Azure networking oversight, continuous audit readiness, and an annual IT strategy roadmap. All tiers include a published response SLA, monthly rolling contracts, and 30 days written notice to cancel.
No. Trimontia delivers IT leadership and strategic oversight — not frontline support. There are no password resets, printer configurations, or L1 helpdesk tickets. Clients who work with us are typically companies that need their IT environment properly architected, governed, and secured — not day-to-day reactive support. If you need helpdesk services alongside strategic oversight, we can recommend a complementary MSP partner.
For reporting and monitoring: read-only access to your M365 Admin Portal (Global Reader role) and endpoint management platforms. For implementation work: temporary delegated admin access to specific workloads, revoked immediately after the task is complete. All access is MFA-protected, logged, and subject to quarterly self-audit. A signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is required before any system access is granted. Every access credential is recorded in a client access log and reviewed quarterly.
A senior IT security specialist in Western Europe costs €55,000–90,000 per year plus benefits, employment overheads, and onboarding time. Trimontia's Tier 2 retainer (€1,600/month) is €19,200/year — for senior-specialist expertise with no headcount commitment, no notice period, and the ability to cancel with 30 days written notice. The cost advantage comes from our Bulgarian operations base — structural, not a temporary discount.
Yes. We deliver the complete ISO 27001:2022 ISMS build — gap analysis against all 93 Annex A controls, risk assessment and treatment plan, full policy library (12+ documents), Statement of Applicability, technical controls implementation in your M365/Azure environment, internal audit, and management review preparation. We also prepare your internal ISMS owner for the Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification body audits. The certification body itself (Kiwa, Bureau Veritas, BSI, TÜV) is a separate engagement — we help you select the right one and prepare for them.
Trimontia is based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and registered as a Bulgarian ЕООД — a full EU legal entity. All services are delivered remotely and async. Our working hours (18:00–22:00 EET) align with the end of the Western European business day, covering CET 17:00–21:00 and GMT 16:00–20:00. For on-site work such as WiFi site surveys, we travel across all EMEA countries. Travel and accommodation are billed at cost with zero markup. Being Bulgaria-based is the reason our pricing is 60–75% below Western European equivalents — not a reflection of experience level, methodology, or output quality.
