Who We Are
Stratify IT (formerly Strategic Response Systems) is a New York City-based IT consulting and managed services firm that has been in operation since 2002. Over 23 years, we've worked with 500+ organizations nationwide across industries including legal, architecture, engineering and construction, healthcare, financial services, hospitality, retail, entertainment, and nonprofits. We also support Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors navigating CMMC 2.0 compliance requirements, where the consequences of a misconfigured environment extend well beyond operational disruption.
Our approach is vendor-agnostic. Every engagement starts with your environment, your workflows, and your specific business objectives — not a predetermined stack. Whether you're a 20-person firm needing a reliable managed services partner or a defense subcontractor working toward CMMC Level 2 readiness, we scope our work around what the situation actually requires.
Where most MSPs treat infrastructure and compliance as separate workstreams — often requiring clients to coordinate between multiple vendors — we integrate both from the start. For organizations operating in regulated environments such as government contracting, healthcare, and financial services, that means your IT environment is built and maintained with frameworks like CMMC, HIPAA, SOX, and PCI-DSS in mind rather than retrofitted later. Clients work with a consistent helpdesk backed by engineers who know their environment, reducing the overhead of managing multiple relationships and the gaps that come with them.

Frequently Asked Questions
