About Old Guard Technology

I'm Justin Tysdal. I started Old Guard Technology in 2009 to give smaller businesses the kind of IT and security that normally only bigger companies get.

My career runs from network administration into security. I ran the security and compliance program for a US software company, then built another from scratch for a software company here in Edmonton — it earned SOC 2 Type 2 and passed every audit after with no exceptions. Most recently I led IT and security for a 500-person engineering and field services firm, including the acquisition that doubled its size and merged both companies onto one Microsoft 365 setup.

These days I run Old Guard on AI too. Agents I built take the first pass at my invoicing, my inbox and my marketing, and I check what matters before it goes out. It's the approach I bring to clients: practical AI that saves real time, on a setup that's secure underneath.

Old Guard is my focus now. You get that same experience without paying for a full-time hire — and when you call, you get me.
