Find the right fit
Three ways we work with you.
No IT team?
Fully Managed IT
We become your IT department: helpdesk, security, infrastructure, and strategy, powered by AlignCORE.
Explore Fully Managed IT →Have an IT team?
Co-Managed IT
We extend the team you already have with coverage, tooling, and specialists, so they can focus on the work only they can do.
Explore Co-Managed IT →Need security or compliance?
Security and Compliance
Advanced defense with AlignSHIELD and governance with AlignASSURE, aligned to CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, and NIST.
Explore Cybersecurity →Why AlignLayerNine
Not another MSP.
Most providers sell security as a premium plan and hope nothing happens. We build it into everything we run, including our own company.
01
We meet the standard we sell
Our own environment is aligned to NIST SP 800-171 and CIS v8, self-assessed against CMMC Level 2 by our own Registered Practitioner, and validated by independent security firms. By design, we never store or process your CUI: client data is strictly separated and privileged access is locked down in layers.
See our security posture →02
Security is the foundation, not a tier
Every managed client starts with 24x7 SOC monitoring, endpoint protection, and identity security in AlignCORE. AlignSHIELD adds zero trust, SIEM, privileged access control, and up to a $500,000 cyber warranty.
How AlignCORE works →03
Advice from operators, not consultants
Our advisors have built and exited software companies, run technology for enterprises, and led operations and finance. We give your leadership answers grounded in running a business, not reading about one.
IT strategy and advisory →04
Global operations, one standard
With offices in Chicago, Naples, London, and Santiago, we run IT operations and deploy projects on every continent, supported around the clock by a dedicated team across phone, email, Teams, Slack, and chat.
Who we are →In our clients’ words
