Managed IT Services Seattle, WA
Stratify IT is a managed IT services provider serving Seattle, WA and the surrounding Puget Sound region. Since 2002, we've supported 500+ organizations nationwide — covering day-to-day helpdesk, proactive monitoring, cybersecurity, and compliance for businesses across the Pacific Northwest that need a managed IT partner, not a break-fix vendor.
Seattle businesses span cloud platforms, aerospace and defense, healthcare, biotech, and professional services — sectors with different technology demands and, in many cases, specific regulatory obligations. What they share is the need for IT that stays up, gets resolved quickly when issues arise, and scales as the business grows without constant re-architecture.
We manage your IT infrastructure end to end: endpoints, networks, servers, cloud platforms, security, backup, and vendor relationships. Engagements are scoped after an assessment of your actual systems and business requirements, not a predetermined tier. Contact us to discuss pricing based on your organization's size and needs.
What Our Managed IT Services Cover
A managed services engagement covers your IT infrastructure from end-user support to strategic planning. For Seattle organizations, that typically includes the following.
Helpdesk & End User Support
Responsive support for your team with defined response times, remote and on-site resolution, and escalation paths that don't require users to navigate a ticket queue. Support staff familiar with your systems and workflows from day one of the engagement.
Network & Infrastructure Management
24/7 monitoring of servers, network devices, and endpoints with proactive maintenance to catch issues before they cause downtime. Includes patch management, performance monitoring, and capacity planning aligned to your growth.
Cybersecurity & Endpoint Protection
Layered security covering endpoint detection and response, email protection, access controls, and threat monitoring. For organizations with cybersecurity compliance obligations — CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 — controls are implemented to satisfy those framework requirements from the start.
Cloud Platform Management
Management and optimization of Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and other platforms your team relies on. Includes licensing, configuration, security hardening, and ongoing support — with architectures sized for your current workload and designed to scale without a full rebuild.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Documented backup schedules, tested recovery procedures, and offsite or cloud-based redundancy built around your recovery time objectives. Regular testing confirms systems and data are recoverable before an actual incident requires it.
IT Strategy & Planning
Quarterly technology reviews aligned to your business roadmap, budget planning for infrastructure refresh cycles, and vendor management across your technology stack. Strategic input on decisions before they create technical debt or cost overruns.
For organizations with specific compliance requirements, managed services extend to cover those frameworks directly. Defense contractors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) working toward CMMC 2.0 certification can access CMMC consulting as part of the engagement. Healthcare and biotech organizations receive support structured around HIPAA and research data protection requirements.
Industries We Support in the Seattle Area
Seattle's economy includes industries where IT decisions carry direct operational and compliance consequences. The sectors below reflect areas where we have direct experience — with the technology, the regulatory context, and the operational requirements that shape how IT needs to be managed across each one.
Technology & Cloud Platforms
Security and infrastructure designed to support enterprise sales cycles, including SOC 2 Type II readiness, vendor security questionnaire responses, and access control frameworks that satisfy procurement requirements at large customers. Systems built to handle user growth without requiring a full rebuild at each funding stage.
Aerospace & Defense
CMMC-compliant networks protecting controlled unclassified information (CUI) across aerospace engineering, defense contracting, and supply chain programs. ITAR-ready infrastructure supporting Washington state contractors working on DoD programs who need to demonstrate security posture for contract eligibility.
Healthcare & Biotech
HIPAA-compliant infrastructure for medical practices, research facilities, and healthcare technology companies. Secure data management with integration into clinical and laboratory systems, and controls that satisfy research funding agency requirements.
Professional Services
IT infrastructure for consulting firms, law practices, and financial services organizations built around confidentiality requirements and professional liability considerations. Document management, client communications security, and remote workforce support designed for distributed teams handling sensitive client data.
Our government contracting credentials include SAM registration with CAGE code 0QV14. For aerospace and defense contractors that require a certified third-party assessment organization (C3PAO) review, managed engagements are structured to build the documentation and evidence that assessment requires over time, not assembled at the last minute before an audit.
What Changes With a Managed IT Partner
Many Seattle businesses rely on internal IT staff stretched across too many priorities, or external providers who respond only after something breaks. The result is deferred maintenance, inconsistent security practices, and technology decisions made under pressure rather than planned. For organizations in regulated industries or those selling into enterprise accounts, those gaps show up as failed security reviews, audit findings, and delayed contract approvals.
Predictable Monthly Costs
Fixed monthly pricing scoped to your actual systems, documented before the engagement starts. No variable fees for routine support, and no unplanned bills that land outside the budget your finance team planned around.
Faster Issue Resolution
Support teams already familiar with your systems and workflows resolve issues faster than providers who need to learn your environment under pressure. Response times are measured in minutes rather than hours when the team already knows your stack, your vendors, and your escalation paths.
Broader Technical Coverage
Access to certified professionals across security, cloud, compliance, and infrastructure without the cost of full-time hires across each specialization. Routine operations, complex projects, and compliance initiatives handled within the same engagement.
Infrastructure That Scales
Technology designed to grow with your headcount, product portfolio, and customer base. Add team members, open new locations, or expand services without a full infrastructure overhaul at each stage.
How Engagements Start
Engagements begin with an assessment of your current systems — infrastructure, security posture, support coverage, and existing vendor relationships. That produces a clear picture of where gaps exist and what a managed services engagement would cover, which is the basis for fixed monthly pricing documented before any work begins.
From there, we build a service plan and complete onboarding within two to four weeks, with monitoring and security controls active from day one. Compliance requirements — whether CMMC 2.0, HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI-DSS — are mapped into the engagement from the start rather than treated as a separate project.
