Cybersecurity Services for Ntiva

Ntiva runs about 700 people from McLean across six locations, and its client base leans heavily on government contractors, a natural consequence of sitting where it sits. Private equity has backed it since 2022 and it has been buying regional providers since.

Serving government contractors from Northern Virginia means inheriting their obligations. A contractor holding controlled unclassified information carries CMMC requirements that flow down from its primes, and those requirements are not advisory. They determine eligibility. The contractor's IT provider becomes the party expected to implement, evidence and sustain them, which is a materially different job from keeping laptops working, and it arrives whether or not the provider signed up for it.

CWS delivers the CMMC and federal compliance work as a specialist function alongside Ntiva's managed IT. Assessment, remediation and the ongoing evidence collection an audit needs, under Ntiva's brand. The managed service keeps doing what it does well, and the compliance obligation stops being answered by people whose day job is something else.
