Why Cobaltium
What sets us apart
< 2h
Response time
Emergency response within 2 hours for active clients. Complex issues are resolved and fully documented within 12–36 hours — not days.
NIST 800-53
Institutional grade
NIST 800-53 & CIS benchmarks applied with operational discipline. Law 25 privacy governance. Your systems treated like they matter.
On-Site
On-call response
When a client gets hit, we respond. On-site or remote within hours. Containment, recovery, and a hardened environment on the way out.
The quiet advantage.
We serve companies with 20–250 employees that have no internal IT team. When your environment is unstable, poorly documented, or held together by temporary fixes — we step in, clean it up fast, and build something that holds.
No noise. No endless ticket loops. We own the outcome.
Bob Pellerin brings 35+ years of hands-on IT leadership — from Systems Engineer at Microsoft to CIO managing teams across 50 U.S. offices, to early AI research with the U.S. Navy. He hosts CTOBOB, a technology channel with over 12,000 subscribers and 2M views covering cybersecurity and AI. He founded Cobaltium to give growing businesses the same institutional rigor that Fortune 500 companies take for granted.
"Cobaltium gave us something we didn't know we were missing — complete confidence in our IT infrastructure. As a CEO, I don't want to think about technology. I want to know it's handled. Bob and his team made that a reality."

Bob Pellerin
President & Founder
Built for businesses like yours.
We don't serve everyone. We serve companies where IT failure has real consequences — and where the CEO is tired of managing something they didn't sign up to manage.
20–250 employees
Large enough that IT problems are expensive. Small enough that a dedicated IT department doesn't make sense.
No internal IT team
Your IT is currently handled by whoever is least busy — or by a vendor who takes a week to respond.
CEO or president is the buyer
You make the call. You've seen what bad IT costs and you're ready to fix it properly.
Canada & United States
We serve clients across North America from our offices in Montreal, QC and Houston, TX.

Comprehensive infrastructure hardening
Designed for environments where failure is not theoretical. We stabilize critical systems to eliminate fragility and ensure operational predictability.
Network & server stabilization
Resilience over speed. We assume existing environments are messy. We methodically remove technical debt to establish a calm, stable baseline.
Configuration drift elimination
Drift is an operational risk, not a cosmetic issue. We enforce standardization and rigorous documentation to counter human error and entropy.
Identity & perimeter hardening
Blast-radius reduction. Strict control of Active Directory and edge firewalls. Clarity and control replace ambiguity.
Stability is engineered, not assumed. Hardening is incomplete without documentation and ownership.
