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.

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.

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.

We’d rather lose a deal than oversell one. If something isn’t the right fit, we’ll tell you. If you need something we don’t do, we’ll help you find someone who does.

How we work

No precious-metal plans

No bronze, silver, or platinum tiers that leave you exposed. The protection that matters is part of the service.

Plain English

Clear explanations and honest recommendations, without the jargon.

We own the problem

When something breaks, it’s ours to fix, not yours to chase.

Built on platforms we trust
