Your AI Source on the Central Coast
AI training, AI setup, AI automation, private AI and the IT support underneath it, from one local team in Orcutt serving Santa Maria, the Santa Ynez Valley and San Luis Obispo County.
CoastDigiTech AI Academy
Plain-language lessons on using Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot well and safely, for anyone who uses AI at home or at work. A new chapter every month, chosen from the questions people are asking right now.
AI Workspace Setup
We put AI to work inside your workspace: projects for every client and job, branded design templates, and connections to the Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tools you already pay for. Configured securely, documented, and handed over.
AI Workspace Setup
One Setup. Three Things That Change How Your Office Works.
CoastDigiTech sets up Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini or Microsoft 365 Copilot for small offices and home offices in Santa Maria, Orcutt, the Santa Ynez Valley and San Luis Obispo County. Configured securely, documented, and taught to your team. Setup from $500 per user; discovery from $350.
Projects
A workspace for every client, job and part of the business, loaded with your documents, price lists and instructions so answers are specific to you, not generic.
Designs
Branded templates for proposals, slide decks, flyers and social posts. What the AI produces already matches your colors, fonts and logo.
Connections
Linked to the email, calendar and files you already use in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, with automations that carry the output to the next step.
Included With Every Setup
Data-safe plan selection. We confirm how your plan handles your data before anything is loaded.
MFA and least privilege. Secure sign-in and only the access each person needs.
A one-page AI use policy. Clear rules your team can follow, and an answer for your insurer.
Training and handover. Hands-on training with your real work, plus written documentation.
AI Automation Workflows
Automate the Work Eating Your Team’s Week
Invoice routing, lead follow-up, report generation, document processing and alert triage, built on n8n with the logic documented, the failure paths handled, and credentials scoped to least privilege rather than pasted into a workflow.
Self-hosted or VPS, your choice. We run n8n on a server you own or on a private VPS we set up and harden for you, so your workflows and data stay under your control instead of living on a third-party automation platform.
- Process discovery
- Workflow build on n8n
- Self-hosted or private VPS deployment, hardened and backed up
- Error handling and alerting
- Documented handover

Private AI
Why a Self-Hosted AI Model Protects Your Privacy
Public AI services process your prompts and files on their servers. A self-hosted model runs on your own server or your own private cloud account, so the conversation starts and ends on equipment you control.
Self-hosted open models are not as capable as the top cloud models for every task. We help you decide which work stays private and which can use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. Hardware is quoted separately.
Best For Privacy-Focused Industries
Who Should Consider a Self-Hosted AI Model
Self-hosting reduces where data travels, but it does not make an organization compliant on its own. Access controls, logging, backups and your own policies still apply, and we build those in. This is general information, not legal advice.
Web Design and Development
Fast, Secure Sites You Own Outright
Fast, secure, maintainable sites. Hardened WordPress, restore-tested backups, monitored uptime, and a handover that leaves you owning the domain, the hosting, and the code. Built by the same person who implements SIEMs, which is an unusual combination in this market.
- Custom WordPress
- Security hardening
- Tested backups and monitoring
- Full ownership handover
IT Support
On-Site IT, Wi-Fi and Cybersecurity
Most technology problems are not really about the device. They are about a network set up once by whoever installed the internet and never touched again. We fix the underlying setup at your home or office, at a flat rate.
Flat-rate pricing, quoted before anyone comes out. One visit from $145, with monthly plans available.
Cybersecurity and Hosted SIEM
Logs That Someone Actually Reads
Most small businesses have logs and nobody reading them. We stand up and host a SIEM, connect your firewalls, servers, endpoints, and cloud tenants, then write detection rules tuned to how your business actually operates. The tuning phase is the one most implementations skip, and it is why most SIEMs end up ignored.
- Log source onboarding
- Detection engineering
- Alert tuning and noise reduction
- Hosted and maintained
Compliance and Audit Readiness
Answers Your Insurer and Auditors Can Verify
Cyber insurance renewals and customer audits now ask questions most businesses cannot answer. We run the gap assessment against CIS Controls v8.1, close what is missing, and assemble the evidence so the answer is documented rather than asserted. For food processors, that extends to FSMA 204 traceability and SQF records.
- CIS Controls v8.1 gap assessment
- Cyber insurance questionnaire support
- Evidence library
- FSMA 204 and SQF records
Our Process
How a Project Works
Fixed scope, written up front, with a rollback path.
01
Assess
A working session to map what you have, what breaks, and what the manual work is actually costing in hours.
02
Scope
A written statement of work with fixed deliverables, timeline, and price. No open-ended hourly engagements.
03
Implement
Built in a test environment first, validated against your real data, then cut over with a documented rollback.
04
Hand Over
Runbooks, documentation, and a working session with the people who will own it. You can operate it without us.
Pricing by Service
Starting prices for each service. You get a written, fixed quote before any work begins.
