BetaBoxTS is a Clarksville, Tennessee technology agency serving government contractors, small businesses, and e-commerce companies. Tony Pentecost founded it and still runs it.
THE STORY SO FAR
BetaBoxTS opened as a technology practice for organizations too small for enterprise vendors and too important to run unprotected.
Government contracting clients brought NIST 800-171 obligations, so we reorganized around a security-led standard for every client.
HostPhenix, ZeroHour, SecurityOrg, and CyberThreds launched as operating businesses. Each one runs on the standard we sell to clients.
More than a hundred client relationships across three practice areas, still answered in plain English.
THE COMPANY
Plenty of vendors can describe their services. Fewer can explain who answers the phone. BetaBoxTS is a founder-run company — no acquisition story, no rotating account managers, no offshore escalation maze.
Three practices share one bench. Build handles software development, Run delivers managed IT on infrastructure the company owns outright, and Defend covers security and compliance.
Our own brands live on the same hosting, tooling, and security posture we recommend to clients. Engineers move between practices, so the person who built your application can also harden and monitor it. See the results in our case studies.
Client work is mapped to CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171, with hardening guidance from CISA applied to every managed environment — one standard, one phone number, no finger-pointing.
The company is small on purpose: senior people, long client relationships, and standards the founder still signs off on personally.

ONE STANDARD
