Our Company

Founded in 1988, Systems Engineering is a 100% employee-owned, SOC 2, Type 2-certified IT strategy and managed technology services provider. We deliver secure and scalable technology solutions that drive business productivity while meeting the increasing demands of today’s regulatory and cyber risk landscape. Our U.S.-based team of over 190 network engineers, cybersecurity professionals, project managers, data specialists, and account managers support clients 24×7×365.

We believe that secure technology is a growth engine that enables business. We solve the technical challenges that come with:

  • Digital business transformations
  • Cyber and third-party risks
  • Distributed, remote/hybrid workers 
  • Legacy infrastructures
  • Regulatory and compliance requirements
  • Cyber insurance underwriting criteria

With deep expertise across credit unions, define contractors, manufacturing, construction, local government, professional services, nonprofits, and technology, we bring a security-first mindset to every engagement. We provide strategic and technical leadership, implementation, and continuous support to organizations operating in regulated industries, where proving compliance and managing cyber risks are critical to long-term success.

Compliance as a Core Capability

As compliance mandates evolve and intensify, Systems Engineering helps organizations navigate, implement, and operationalize cybersecurity and IT controls that meet a wide array of regulatory requirements. We assist clients in aligning their IT environments with compliance frameworks and industry-specific mandates, such as:

Our Adaptive Cybersecurity Framework (aCSF) enables clients to improve their security posture and technology stance as a continual process. We’ve combined proprietary best practices derived from 35 years of experience with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to create a flexible tool that assesses where clients are on their cybersecurity maturity journey and delivers a multi-year strategy and implementation plan to address their secure technology priorities. The aCSF is customized to work with clients regardless of their current security profile.

Security and Compliance in Practice

We apply the same cybersecurity and compliance rigor to our own operations. Systems Engineering undergoes an annual SOC 2 Type 2 audit, reinforcing our adherence to the Trust Service Principles of Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. This demonstrates to clients that we hold ourselves to the same standards we help them achieve. Our SOC 2 report is available to clients upon request.

Client Success Is Our Ownership Mindset

As proud participants in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), our employee-owners are personally invested in our clients’ success. We recognize that when clients have secure, compliant, and reliable technology in place, they are empowered to pursue innovation and growth. We work diligently to become a trusted advisor and indispensable partner, delivering mission-critical technology solutions that free leaders to focus on strategic outcomes—not IT concerns.
