Cybersecurity Services in Northern Virginia
Cybersecurity and managed IT for Northern Virginia small businesses — Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Loudoun, Reston, Tysons. Transparent per-user pricing, federal subcontractor compliance help.
Northern Virginia has no shortage of IT providers. It has a shortage of ones that will tell you what something costs without a discovery call, and a shortage of ones that will tell you a requirement does not apply to you.
That is the gap we are here for. We are a cybersecurity-first managed IT provider working with small and midsize businesses across Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Loudoun, Reston, and Tysons — professional services firms, associations, federal subcontractors, medical practices, and the twenty-to-a-hundred-person companies that get quoted enterprise pricing for small-business needs.
Where we fit, and where we do not
We hold a Virginia business address. We do not staff a Northern Virginia office — our engineers work from Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, and support you remotely in your own time zone.
We say that first because in this market it is the decisive question. If your environment leans heavily on on-premises hardware needing regular physical attention, a local provider genuinely serves you better and we will tell you that in the first conversation. If your systems are mostly cloud and Microsoft 365 — as most professional services firms here now are — physical proximity is a premium you are paying for and rarely using.
What we deliver remotely is the whole substance of the job: managed cybersecurity with monitoring someone actually watches, remote monitoring and management, patch management, Microsoft 365 administration and its security configuration, Google Workspace management if that is your stack, restore-tested cloud backup, and helpdesk.
Federal subcontractor requirements, read honestly
Plenty of Northern Virginia firms are being sold compliance programs they do not need. The requirements that apply come from your contract clauses, not from a sales catalog.
- FAR 52.204-21 applies broadly to federal contracts and is genuinely modest — fifteen basic safeguarding controls. Most firms are closer than they think.
- DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST 800-171 apply only if you actually handle controlled unclassified information. Many professional services subcontractors do not.
- CMMC follows from the above. The third-party assessment gate was suspended in July 2026, but the underlying NIST 800-171 obligations and SPRS accuracy expectations did not change, and primes are flowing requirements down regardless.
- SOC 2 is usually a sales requirement here rather than a regulatory one — it shows up when an enterprise client sends a security questionnaire.
We start by reading your contract language. If the answer is “you need less than you were told,” that is the answer you get.
The infrastructure conversation
Because we work remotely, we are candid about infrastructure that creates unnecessary physical dependency. That usually means honest IT infrastructure planning before the next purchase, cloud migration where it genuinely reduces risk and cost, hybrid cloud where a specific application has to stay local, and ongoing cloud infrastructure management. If you need a business phone system that is not tied to a box in a closet, that is part of the same conversation.

Northern Virginia questions we hear most
Why would we pick a Massachusetts provider over a local Northern Virginia MSP?
Sometimes you should not, and we will say so. If your environment needs frequent physical attention, a genuinely local provider is the better answer. Where we tend to win is price transparency and scope honesty. Northern Virginia is one of the most expensive MSP markets in the country, and a lot of that premium buys proximity you may never use plus bundled tools you did not ask for. Our rates are published, identical to every other market we serve, and delivered remotely from the Eastern time zone. Compare the two honestly — that is the only comparison worth making.
Do you have a staffed office in Northern Virginia?
No. We hold a Virginia business address and our engineers work from our Tyngsboro, Massachusetts headquarters. Northern Virginia support is delivered remotely. Physical work is scheduled as a trip or handled through a vetted local technician, and quoted openly rather than implied as included.
We subcontract on federal work. What security requirements actually apply to us?
It depends entirely on your contract language, and the answer is usually narrower than you have been told. FAR 52.204-21 basic safeguarding applies broadly and is genuinely modest — fifteen controls. DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST 800-171 only apply if you handle controlled unclassified information. Many Northern Virginia professional services subcontractors handle no CUI at all and are being sold CMMC readiness they do not need. We start by reading your actual contract clauses before recommending anything.
What does this cost?
Standard $100, Premium $125, Enterprise $150 per user per month, all-inclusive, no long-term lock-in — the same published rates we charge everywhere. Endpoint detection and response, 24/7 monitoring, and ransomware protection are in every tier rather than upsold. Onboarding in 24-48 hours.
