Intelligent Automation, LLC · Fairfield, New Jersey
Stop renting fifteen tools.
Run your MSP on one.
The whole managed-services and security stack on one shared data model. Built inside a working MSP that has been running client infrastructure since 2013• — and verified against a ledger we do not control.

11:47 p.m., Tuesday
The human is the only integration layer in the building.
Nothing is missing. Everything is somewhere. Five databases quietly disagree about who the client is, and you reconcile the conflict by hand.
What it actually costs
Time — the minutes spent proving four systems are describing the same machine.
Accuracy — four records of one client, drifting apart quietly, every day, with no alarm attached to the drift.
Evidence — when the client asks what happened, you reconstruct it from memory and four exports that do not line up.
You — the one person who can do the reconciliation is the one person who cannot be replaced, and cannot take a Tuesday off.
You are paying five vendors to not talk to each other.
This is the shape of a normal MSP stack. Not the prices — the structure. The structure is the problem, and it is the same structure at every MSP we have ever looked at, including our own, for years.
| What | Vendor | Renewal | Metered by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSA & ticketing | A roll-up PSA | Annual, auto-renew | per technician |
| RMM & patching | A second vendor | Annual, auto-renew | per endpoint |
| IT documentation | A third platform | Annual, auto-renew | per user |
| Security & detection | A fourth console | Multi-year term | per endpoint |
| Compliance & GRC | A fifth platform | Annual, auto-renew | per framework |
Five renewal dates. Five support queues. Five data models. Every integration between them is a webhook somebody wrote, that nobody owns, that breaks on a Sunday.
You are the integration layer.
Architecture by acquisition creates a public attack surface.
Illustrative, not a specific vendor’s cap table. A roll-up is a filing history, not an architecture: acquired products keep their own databases and meet through fragile syncs. The login screen is the only thing that was ever unified. The sourced, checkable claims are on the right.
We only make this argument with sources a stranger can check, and only against the roll-ups. Syncro and HaloPSA are peers we intend to out-depth, not opponents we intend to smear.
Sourced to NVD and CISA. Every citation opens its evidence in the claim ledger.
Three things a roll-up cannot retrofit.
Features get shipped. Architecture gets inherited. These are the three that cannot be added in a release, and the fourth is the one we lose on — so we put it in the same table.
| The roll-up model | The Argos model | |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Stitched together by acquisition | One native kernel, written in one place |
| Data model | Copies synced across fragile APIs | One shared client graph, no copies to reconcile |
| Security ingress | High-value remote-access targets on every managed machine | Zero-inbound control plane, isolated from the open internet |
| Scale | Market dominant | Zero customers today• |
The last row is not a typo, and we did not bury it at the back of the deck. Every operational number in here comes from the MSP we run ourselves.
A suite shares a login screen. An operating system shares a data model.
The Argos Kernel
- One identity
- One client graph
- One event spine
- One audit log
Written as one system from day one
Identity and the audit spine are not integrations. They are the substrate the products are made of. A technician is the same technician everywhere, with the same permissions, revoked once.
No sync jobs. No copies to reconcile.
A detection in Red opens a ticket in Service against the exact same client object — not a matching record with the same name. Close that ticket and the GRC evidence updates itself, because it was reading the same object all along.
164,356 events emitted, 100% delivered• — an event cannot be lost without losing the write it describes. Scope: our own environment.
One client. Five faces. No re-typing.
A client company is a single object in the Kernel. Each product renders a different face of the same object — it does not own a copy of it.
Rename the client once and it is renamed everywhere, because there was only ever one name. Close a ticket that resolved a control gap and the compliance evidence moves with it, because it was never a second copy.
That is the difference a shared data model makes. It is invisible on a demo. It is the whole job at 11:47.
Don’t trust us. Check us.
Provably honest: we cannot rewrite our own history.

165,000+• hash-chained audit records, enforced at the database level•, not in application code. The application role holds INSERT and SELECT only. Every document rolls up into a hash stamped into the Bitcoin blockchain. If we altered one record, the public arithmetic would permanently stop matching.
Scope: our own environment · the block is independently verifiableThis is the one slide we would ask a competitor to reproduce.
We publish the evidence table for our own marketing.
Every number on our website is footnoted, scoped, dated, and enforced by the build. Delete the evidence from the ledger and the number disappears from the site — the build refuses to compile. Five real rows, live today:
| Claim | Scope | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Audit chain head anchored in Bitcoin block 959874• | independently verifiable | GREEN · verifier published |
| 165,000+• hash-chained audit records | our own environment | AMBER · scoped, never pulses |
| 1,301• tickets resolved end to end | our own environment | AMBER · scoped, never pulses |
| ScreenConnect authentication bypass, CVSS 10.0• | public record | GREEN · NVD link published |
| Overwatch containment: dry-run verified•, not production-proven | not finished | ROADMAP · published anyway |
A claim only pulses on the site when a stranger can verify it against a third party. Everything else is labelled as ours.
Case one — the correction
An internal marketing draft claimed 1,861 tickets. Before it shipped, we ran the count against the database. The database said 1,301•. The draft was wrong; the database was right; the draft got corrected.
Nothing shrank. A number we had not checked was replaced with a number we had. That is the ledger working exactly as designed, on ourselves, before a prospect ever saw it.
Case two — the uncounted
Separately: our true lifetime ticket count is higher than 1,301•. We ran on SyncroMSP and Freshdesk before this, and that history did not survive the migration.
We cannot prove it, so we do not count it. That is not modesty — it is the reason “you own it” is a pillar here and not a slogan. We are not blaming anyone for that; migrations lose things, and the choices were as much ours as anyone’s. But we have been the customer who could not answer a client’s question about something that happened three years ago, and we decided never to put someone else in that position. Argos exports everything, any day, in open formats, at no cost.
Two different stories. We keep them apart on purpose, because merging them would make a correction look like a loss.
The unfiltered catalog: service and security.
27• products in the register — 19 live, 4 in beta, 4 still in build. We publish the breakdown rather than one flattering total. Here is the half that runs the business and defends it.
Ticketing, CRM, quoting, contracts, billing, CMDB. The system of record your technicians live in all day.
Replaces ConnectWise Manage or Kaseya BMS.
Threat detection, intelligence and AI-adjudicated triage. Opens a ticket in Service against the exact same client object — no matching, no drift.
Replaces a standalone SIEM or XDR console.
Self-documenting IT: the estate, the credential vault, network and rack topology, cross-client health. Fed by the platform, not by a technician remembering to update a wiki.
Replaces IT Glue or Hudu.
18• compliance frameworks mapped once and reused across tenants, with evidence pulled live from the platform — not screenshots on a shared drive.
Replaces Vanta or Drata.
The unfiltered catalog: governance and identity.
Including the two we will not call live, on a slide a salesperson would rather not hand you. The badges here match the badges on the website, to the word.
300• monitors across our own estate, with public status pages generated directly from live data.
Scope: our own estate, published publicly.
A branded assurance posture for each of your clients, rendered from live GRC data rather than a PDF somebody updates once a year.
Replaces the annual security questionnaire scramble.
Push MFA on the shared identity model, with every approval landing in your own audit log. The architecture is live on a deliberately small set of our own accounts. Fleet rollout is the part we have not earned yet.
Not live. Says so here, says so on the website.
Zero-trust network access. The ZTNA path is proven and the portal runs; the secure web gateway layer is still to come, so the product does not carry a live badge.
Aimed at Todyl and the VPN concentrator.
Tamper-evident e-signature, hash-chained into the same audit spine and anchored to Bitcoin. Real code. Not in front of your clients yet.
Replaces DocuSign for documents that must be provable.
Continuous pentest, anti-ransomware, canaries, uptime and alerting, a private AI gateway, and four free public tools that need no login. All on the same kernel, the same client graph, the same audit log.
The full register is published at argos-os.com/products.
We publish what isn’t finished. Nobody else in this category does.
Every vendor here has a list like this. We are the only one that puts it on the website, with a permanent URL, in the primary navigation, next to the pricing page.
A roadmap badge is not an apology. It is the reason you can trust the things we do call live. If a vendor never publishes a gap, either the product has no gaps, or the list exists and you are not allowed to see it.
To be precise: “unfinished” on our list only ever means polish, breadth, or proof at scale. It never means an open security weakness. Those are stop-ship, and they appear in a commit that reverts something, not on a webpage.
Bounded AI: the machine recommends, humans pull the trigger.
Automated response is the easiest demo in security and the hardest thing to be trusted with. The failure mode is not a missed detection — it is taking a client’s domain controller off the network mid-morning, and them hearing about it from their staff instead of from you.
Argos Overwatch protocol
Confidence-tiered break glass
On endpoints you have explicitly enrolled, and only there: critical 60s, high 180s, medium and low never•. Everywhere else, and at every other confidence level, the machine waits for two people. Every approval, refusal and rollback is written to the append-only log with the real actor attached.
Status: dry-run verified only
Built and verified end to end in dry run. We have not yet applied a live lockdown• to a production endpoint. We would rather tell you that than demo something that falls over in front of your client.
You own your stack. The renewal date will never own you again.
We can prove 1,301• tickets resolved end to end. Our real number is higher. We have been the customer holding the empty box — so this pillar is not a policy, it is a scar.
Your data
Open-format export, any day, no exit fee. Tickets, assets, documentation, evidence, and the audit log itself.
164,356 events emitted, 100% delivered• — an event cannot be lost without losing the write it describes.
Your brand
Completely white-labeled from the first login. Your name in front of your clients, not ours.
Hosted by us — standard, or a dedicated isolated instance under Argos Sovereign. We do not offer customer self-hosting, and we will not pretend to.
Your exit
No auto-renewal. No multi-year trap. Leave any day, and take everything with you when you go.
Your exit is a download, not a negotiation.
We self-host our own substrate — identity, secrets, timestamping, and source control across 84• repositories. That is why there is no per-seat license tax flowing through to your bill. It describes our infrastructure, not yours.
Soft launch · September 2026
We stand up your platform. Free for 30• days.
- The whole platform — not a crippled trial tier, not three modules, not a demo tenant seeded with fake clients.
- We do the setup — tenant, identity, branding, first imports. You do not spend week one configuring it.
- A direct line to the founders. We run an MSP too. No tier-one scripts.
What we want from the first cohort
To be the vendor you can shout at. A small founding group, direct to the people who wrote the code, with roadmap influence that is real because the cohort is small.
To be checked. Break the audit log. Trip a detection. Reproduce the psql refusal on your own instance. If anything in this deck turns out to be untrue, we would rather you find it in week one than a customer find it in year two.
To earn the numbers we do not have. 26• client companies run on this platform today — all of them ours. Argos OS customers: 0•. The first ones are not a statistic to us.
Three things you can do right now, without our permission.
Take our published chain head, look up block 959874• on mempool.space, compare. That is the entire ceremony, and we are not in it.
On day one of the trial, open psql and try to edit the audit log. The database will refuse you•, exactly as it refuses us.
Four public tools at argos-os.com — a cyber scorecard, an email-security grade, a full-site audit, a breach-exposure check. No form, no login, no sales call attached.
“Go break our audit log. You can’t. That’s the point.”
Every number in this deck has a scope, a date, and a link to its evidence. Three of them can be checked by a stranger without our cooperation: the block in the blockchain, the database that refuses to be edited, and the list of things we have not finished.
