Defense Contractor IT Services

At ITS Team, we provide specialized IT services for defense contractors across Southern California — with a sharp focus on compliance, security, and operational reliability. We help small and midsize businesses in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) secure their systems, close audit gaps, and remain mission-ready.

Whether you're located in San Diego, Riverside County, or nearby, generic IT support is not enough. You need a partner who understands federal cybersecurity requirements and has real-world experience supporting high-security defense operations. That's exactly what we deliver.

What Happens When IT Isn’t Mission-Ready

Defense contractors face unique pressures — from compliance audits to cyber threats to government contract requirements. Unfortunately, most SMBs in the DIB are supported by generalist IT providers who lack the experience to meet these challenges. The risks are high, and the consequences are real.

  • Failed Audits Without CMMC and NIST alignment, your business could fail an audit and become ineligible for future DoD contracts.

    Data Breaches and Cyber Incidents 
    Outdated or misconfigured security tools leave you exposed to ransomware, phishing, and nation-state threats — especially if you're handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

    Contract Loss and Non-Compliance Penalties 
    Even minor IT lapses can result in severe contractual consequences, including loss of prime contracts and federal funding.

    Lack of Strategic Guidance 
    Most MSPs don't understand DFARS, CMMC maturity levels, or the implications of the NIST 800-171 controls — leaving you with poor advice and inadequate coverage.

Why DoD Contractors Trust ITS Team for IT Services

Deep Expertise in the Defense Industrial Base
We've worked with some of the most respected names in the defense sector — including Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Hughes Aircraft. That experience translates into a level of precision and discipline that we now bring to smaller contractors.

CMMC and NIST 800-171 Compliance Specialists
We don't learn on the job. We know how to implement technical controls, write System Security Plans (SSPs), and support ongoing compliance with federal cybersecurity mandates.

Layered Cybersecurity Infrastructure
Our approach includes endpoint protection, encrypted communication systems, advanced threat detection, and recovery plans — all mapped to DFARS and NIST frameworks.

A Process That Works

Frequently Asked Questions About Defense Contractor IT Services

What makes your IT services different for defense contractors?

Our services are built specifically for companies operating in the Defense Industrial Base. Unlike generic IT providers, we understand the intricacies of CMMC, NIST 800-171, DFARS, and how IT ties directly into contract eligibility and audit success.

How do you help us pass a CMMC or NIST 800-171 audit?

We start with a detailed gap analysis to identify where your current systems fall short. From there, we provide remediation planning, help develop required documentation like SSPs and POA&Ms, and implement technical controls aligned with your target maturity level.

Can you help with DFARS compliance?

Yes. We've helped multiple contractors ensure they meet DFARS 252.204-7012 and related clauses by implementing secure information systems, logging, reporting capabilities, and encrypted data storage and transfer solutions.

Do you provide documentation support like SSPs and POA&Ms?

Absolutely. We either draft or assist in developing System Security Plans (SSPs) and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) as part of our remediation services. These documents are essential for compliance and must be audit-ready.

What size businesses do you typically support?

Our focus is on small to midsize DoD contractors — typically businesses that don't have an internal IT department but still handle sensitive defense-related information and need help achieving and maintaining compliance.

Do you offer long-term managed services or only consulting?

We offer both. Some clients engage us for specific compliance initiatives, while others rely on us as their full-service managed IT provider. Our goal is to be as involved as needed to keep you compliant, secure, and operational.
