The Diagnostic Layer Before the Expensive Decisions
Strategic IT Services is not an MSP. We are not a CMMC certification body. We are not a C3PAO. We are the step that comes before all of those: a fixed-fee readiness advisory that tells growing companies if they can compete for federal contracts, pass cyber insurance requirements, and answer customer security questionnaires.
I'm Nate. My background is in IT operations, identity and access management (IAM), endpoint management, Microsoft 365, and Azure. I have managed complex environments, including hardware and IT security for the Governor's mansion, 400 state buildings, the Department of Homeland Security, and one of the world's largest asset management firms.
That experience taught me something simple: most small and mid-size companies do not need a $200/hour consultant to tell them they are not ready. They need someone to look at their actual environment, map the gaps, and give them a straight Go, Conditional Go, or No-Go answer.
Our philosophy: clarity beats jargon. You should know where you stand before you write the check for certification, remediation, or a bid you cannot win. A No-Go is not a failure. It is the most valuable outcome we deliver.
