Streamline Communications

What Streamline Communications does

Streamline Communications was a private, Utah-based technology advisory firm headquartered in Murray that specialized in cybersecurity services, most notably Virtual CISO (vCISO) engagements and the orchestration of incident response resources for clients experiencing cyber events. The company's documented operating model centered on connecting clients — including a manufacturing-sector enterprise that suffered a ransomware attack — with specialized incident response teams (specifically IGI's Incident Response Team) and then converting those one-time crisis engagements into ongoing security leadership, policy development, and employee training programs.

The firm's core product was its vCISO service, under which it provided continuous cybersecurity strategic guidance, including identification of security gaps (e.g., outdated virus protection, insufficient network controls), implementation of new tools and policies, and workforce training to improve client security posture. Evidence of the underlying technology stack is limited; no proprietary platform, patents, or AI/ML components are documented, and the offering appears to be services-led rather than product-led.

In October 2025, Streamline Communications was acquired by Bluewave Technology Group, a U.S.-based IT sourcing and advisory partner with 10,000+ clients under management and $35M+ in monthly IT spend under management. The acquisition absorbed Streamline into Bluewave's broader portfolio spanning cloud, CX, security, contact center, UCaaS, network, and AI advisory solutions, ending Streamline's independent operating status. Pre-acquisition firmographics indicated 11–50 employees and no disclosed revenue or funding history.
