What ProBleu does

ProBleu is a regional managed IT services and cybersecurity provider headquartered in Bloomington, Indiana, serving regulated and growth-stage small and mid-market businesses primarily across Indiana and Tennessee since 2005 (operating under the ProBleu brand since 2010). The company delivers a unified managed services stack anchored on Microsoft 365, Azure, Google Workspace, AWS, GCP, and Cisco Meraki — combining 24/7 monitoring, automated patching, multi-layered threat protection (EDR, MDR with human-led SOC investigation, ITDR for credential and session-token abuse, email security, immutable backups, and CSPM), co-managed IT augmentation, vCIO/vCISO advisory, and compliance support across HIPAA, FTC Safeguards/WISP, SOC 2, CMMC 2.0, PCI-DSS, GLBA, NAIC, NIST CSF 2.0, and NIST 800-171.

The revenue model blends recurring monthly managed-services subscriptions (FLEX support plans for organizations with 5+ users, Co-Managed IT for clients with 1-10 internal IT staff), subscription-based Managed Detection & Response, tiered AI-powered VoIP services, and project-based revenue from cloud migrations, network segmentation, business application development, AV and access-control deployments, and Cisco Meraki licensing optimization. Distribution is exclusively direct — enterprise field sales for regulated verticals and inside sales for SMB/mid-market — supplemented by content marketing (blog, industry playbooks, free IT assessments) and SEO across city- and industry-specific landing pages. The company reports a 100% US-based team of Microsoft-, Cisco-, and CompTIA-certified engineers, sub-30-minute response during business hours, sub-15-minute threat response for MDR clients, and 15-minute RPO / sub-1-hour RTO targets for business-continuity clients, but discloses no revenue, headcount trend, or funding history.
