Boutique technology transformation · Secure AI
Technology built around your business.
Secure AI. Intelligent automation. Connected digital experiences. BSTS is a boutique firm for organizations that want their technology transformed — not replaced.
Keep what works. Connect what is disconnected. Automate what is repetitive. Build what is missing. Secure the foundation.
The BSTS difference
Your existing systems are an asset, not an embarrassment.
Most consultancies earn their keep by convincing you to start over. We earn ours by making what you already own work harder. The fluency your team has in its current tools is real operational capital — we protect it, connect around it, and replace things only when replacement genuinely wins.
No rip-and-replace reflex
Every recommendation carries a written reason. A system that works, integrates, and is secure enough to keep — stays.
Weeks of disruption avoided
Connection and automation projects land in weeks and leave muscle memory intact. Migration is the last resort, not the opening offer.
No licenses, no commissions
BSTS resells nothing. Our only incentive is the one you set: an operation that runs smoother than it did last quarter.
Five lanes, one promise
Everything we do fits one honest sentence.
Keep what works. Connect what is disconnected. Automate what is repetitive. Build what is missing. Secure the foundation.
Keep what works
Stack assessment & modernization strategy
Most technology projects fail by replacing too much. We start by mapping what you already run, what it costs, and what it quietly does well — then we protect it.
Connect what is disconnected
Integration & data unification
Re-keying the same reservation into three systems is not a staffing problem — it is an integration problem. We make your existing systems talk to each other.
Automate what is repetitive
Intelligent workflow automation
If a task is performed the same way every day, software should perform it. We automate the repetitive middle of your operation and leave judgment to your people.
Build what is missing
Custom software & secure AI implementation
When the market genuinely lacks the tool you need, we build it — small, sharp, and secured from the first commit. This includes responsible, well-scoped AI.
Secure the foundation
Security architecture & readiness
Security is the floor the rest stands on. Our practice is informed by NIST CSF 2.0, OWASP secure-development guidance, and Zero Trust principles.
Not sure which lane your problem lives in? That is normal — most problems live in two.

The BSTS Method
Five stages. A working pilot by week six.
No black-box discovery phases, no strategy decks that never ship. The method is public because we are happy to be held to it.
01
Listen
Week 1
We learn how your operation actually runs — not how the org chart says it runs. Shadowing real workflows beats reading vendor brochures.
02
Map
Weeks 2–3
Every finding lands in one of five lanes: keep, connect, automate, build, or secure. Nothing is recommended without a reason attached.
03
Prove
Weeks 4–6
Before any large commitment, we ship one small, high-visibility win. You judge us on working software, not slideware.
04
Build
Roadmap-paced
Roadmap items ship in short cycles with demos at every step. You always know what is live, what is next, and what it costs.
05
Steward
Ongoing, optional
Technology drifts. We offer ongoing stewardship — monitoring, tuning, security review — or a clean handover to your team. Your call.
CONCEPT DEMONSTRATION — NOT A CLIENT CASE STUDY
Hospitality, made concrete
Solara House: a fictional hotel, a real approach.
A fictional 28-room boutique hotel on a coastal town square, invented by BSTS to show — concretely — what keep, connect, automate, build, and secure look like in hospitality.
- A reservation is touched by hand up to four times before check-in
- Guest preferences survive only if the right person is on shift
- The nightly report takes 40 minutes of copy-paste after close
- No one can say which packages actually sell without an afternoon of digging
The PMS and POS stay
Both systems work and the staff is fluent in them. Replacing either would burn a year of muscle memory for zero guest-visible gain. They are documented, secured, and kept.
One guest record, everywhere
The PMS, POS, and booking engine are joined through their existing APIs. A dietary note captured at booking now appears on the restaurant's seating sheet automatically.
The repetitive middle of the guest journey
Confirmation, pre-arrival, and post-stay messages compose themselves from the unified record and go out on schedule. The nightly report assembles itself at close. Staff review, they no longer re-key.
A small AI concierge assistant — drafts only
An assistant drafts replies to routine guest emails from house knowledge: hours, parking, late checkout policy. Every draft waits for a human send. It never invents policy and never touches payment data.
A baseline informed by NIST CSF 2.0
Access review, least privilege on guest data, encrypted backups, and a one-page incident plan the whole team has read. Security sized to a 28-room operation, not a compliance theater production.
Security first, honestly stated
A foundation you can describe to your insurer without flinching.
Our practice is NIST-aligned and informed by NIST CSF 2.0, OWASP secure-development guidance, and Zero Trust principles. For teams headed toward SOC 2, we provide readiness support — and we are precise that readiness is not certification.
- Identity, access, and least-privilege review on every engagement
- Encryption in transit and at rest as a default, not an upsell
- A written incident-response starting point your team has actually read
- Responsible AI boundaries: private data stays private, humans approve actions
Plain-language claims policy
- We say
- NIST-aligned · SOC 2 readiness support · OWASP-informed
- We never say
- certified · compliant · government approved · guaranteed secure
- Because
- framework references describe our methodology — they do not imply certification, endorsement, or an audit opinion.
Built to fit
We customize around your stack — whatever your stack is.
Property systems, point of sale, practice management, spreadsheets with ten years of institutional memory: we meet your tools where they are. Integration through real APIs where they exist, resilient auditable bridges where they do not.
Adapters, not ultimatums
Your vendors do not have to change for your systems to cooperate. We build the adapter layer that makes cooperation possible.
Your vocabulary, your workflows
Tools we build use the words your team already uses. Software that fights its users gets routed around — so we design with the people on shift.
Portable by design
Everything we deliver is documented and handover-ready. If we ever part ways, your stack remains yours — connected, automated, and understood.
Who you work with
Led by a practitioner, not a sales team.
Every BSTS engagement is led by founder Jacob Bevier — trained in both artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, and shaped by environments where systems have to work under pressure.

BSTS OS
The operating system behind every engagement.
Assessments, roadmaps, projects, risks, automations, and decisions — one connected workspace, the same discipline we bring to your stack applied to our own. Explore the interactive demonstration with fictional data.
Demonstration environment — do not enter real client or sensitive information.
Start here
Tell us how your operation actually runs.
The BSTS technology assessment takes about ten minutes. It costs nothing, commits you to nothing, and even if we never speak again, the act of answering it tends to clarify what your stack needs.
