What does Corey do at Limehawk?

Corey Watson is the Managing Member of Limehawk, a managed IT services provider in Knoxville, Tennessee. He founded the company in 2022 after more than 25 years in IT, and he still does the work: the security baseline, the compliance mapping, and the writeup on every problem the team resolves.

Most MSPs sell a generic stack and bolt compliance on afterward. Corey built Limehawk the other way around: the regulation drives the controls, the documentation, and the audit trail. Clients work directly with the person accountable for the work, not a rotating tier-1 queue.

What does he specialize in?

Compliance-driven IT and legacy systems. Corey maps controls to the specific rule an auditor will ask about (FTC Safeguards, the HIPAA Security Rule, SEC Reg S-P, NAIC Model Law, and GLBA) and produces the documentation that goes with it. That focus fits regulated firms: accounting, financial advisory, insurance, law, medical, mortgage, title, and manufacturing.

He also keeps older equipment alive. When another provider says “you need to upgrade everything,” Corey keeps Windows 98, XP, and 7 machines, SCADA, and unsupported industrial systems running safely, because on a plant floor or in a regulated office, ripping and replacing isn’t always an option.

Why does he write every incident report?

Because accountability is the whole point. Every IT company claims to be proactive and responsive, and none of them show their work. Each report on this site documents a real problem, what Limehawk did about it, and what it cost the client in downtime, signed under the owner’s name. When the fix is public and attributable, “good enough” isn’t. You can read exactly how he operates before you ever pick up the phone.

Limehawk is a proper MSP with month-to-month engagements and numbers walked on a call. No multi-year contracts, no mystery line items. If that’s the way you want your IT run, the fastest way to start is a fifteen-minute call.
