About us

Founder-led. Small by design. Accountable for every engagement.

Secured IT Solutions has delivered IT and cybersecurity services since 2010, led by a founder who still works alongside the team.

Our Story

Secured IT Solutions was founded in 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada, built around a simple idea: our clients deserve a cybersecurity partner that treats their mission as seriously as its own compliance obligations. Our leadership and technical staff bring backgrounds in cybersecurity, information assurance, governance, risk management, and IT consulting, and many of our engineers hold the clearances needed to work directly alongside federal program offices on sensitive systems.

As a woman-owned, 8(a) certified small business, we built the company from the ground up to meet the highest procurement and operational standards. Not to check a box, but because disciplined, accountable operations are exactly what protecting critical systems requires, in government or industry.

We’re a small firm by design. It means the people who scope your assessment are the same people who deliver it.
