Our Mission
Our mission at Secure IT Systems is to fix the broken information security industry. Not only do we respond to incidents, but we also solve as many weaknesses as we can in your security environment. Being with organizations before, during, and after a breach is the only way we can truly improve their security and protect the sensitive information entrusted to them.
Our Style
Our approach isn’t “cookie cutter.” We recognize that each organization is different, and every security program is at a different stage of maturity. We get to know your security program intimately, use an information security risk assessment to inform the vCISO team what your strengths and weaknesses are, and then apply industry best practices to provide next steps that’ll help you make improvements.
Our Focus
Information security is all we do. We don’t do IT, sell hardware, or provide telco services. We only do security. Because of this, our virtual CISO team can provide unbiased recommendations that will actually make a dramatic impact to the way you do security. Our vCISO team works hard to be a partner—collaborating with and educating your team every step of the way.

Our Core Values and Principles
Information security is not as one-size-fits-all as others would lead you to believe. Secure IT Systems works hard to assess your most significant vulnerabilities (information security assessment), put a plan together for managing those risks (information security roadmap), and helps you execute that plan (information security program development).
We apply industry standards to assess existing information security programs (administrative, physical, and technical security controls), and we develop, implement, and manage information security programs tailored to each client’s specific security need
- We tell the truth
- We are collaborative
- We are supportive and driven to serve
- we do whatever it takes
- Information security is a business issue
- Information security should drive business.
- Information security is not “one size fits all”
- People are the biggest risk
- “Compliant” and “Secure” are different
- There is no common sense in information security
- There is no “easy button”
“I chose Secure IT Systems as a trusted advisor and solution provider for our Cyber Security and Compliance initiatives. At a time when our firm was engaging in a planned office move, hardware upgrades, and requiring us to work from home, we engaged Secure IT to evaluate our security and compliance posture, the engagement was smooth and efficient. Secure IT’s reputation is well deserved, and I recommend them to any organization seeking help with their security plan.”
