Cybersecurity & IT for Government and Public Sector

Secure. Compliant. Mission-Ready.

Public sector organizations face growing cybersecurity threats, evolving compliance mandates, and constant pressure to do more with limited resources.

Preferred helps government agencies and contractors modernize their technology, strengthen security, and meet compliance standards, all with reliable, transparent support that delivers measurable results.

As a CMMC Level II–ready provider, we understand what it takes to protect sensitive data, maintain uptime, and ensure accountability in every environment.

Your Challenges

Government agencies and contractors operate in some of the most demanding IT environments.

Balancing compliance, performance, and cost control can be overwhelming, especially with limited internal staff and legacy infrastructure.

We help solve these common challenges:

Compliance complexity across CMMC, NIST 800-171, DFARS, and local mandates

Outdated systems that create vulnerabilities and inefficiencies

Fragmented vendors and unclear accountability for cybersecurity oversight

Limited in-house expertise to meet growing security expectations

Budget constraints that make modernization difficult

Increased risk of ransomware and phishing attacks targeting public data

How Preferred Supports Government Contractors and Public Agencies

We deliver secure, compliant, and cost-effective IT solutions designed for public entities, government contractors, and organizations working toward or maintaining CMMC compliance.

Our proactive approach combines strategic alignment, constant monitoring, and human-centered partnership — giving you peace of mind that your systems are secure, compliant, and mission-ready.

How Preferred Helps

Phishing and social engineering defense

SOC-backed 24/7 threat monitoring and response

3. Modernization for Performance and Efficiency

We understand that agencies and contractors are faced with difficult choices for cloud collaboration. When handling sensitive government information or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you need the right tools and the right expertise to maintain efficiency, security, and privacy.

At Preferred, we utilize our outcome driven process and wide range of knowledge, to recommend the right solution for your business. Whether that be a move to the regulated Microsoft GCC tenant, siloing data to only be accessed and shared by the right staff members, or a novel solution specifically built for your workflows and needs, we have you covered. Our team ensures continuity, accessibility, and cost savings without compromising compliance or security.

4. Predictable, Transparent Pricing

Public budgets demand predictability. Our flat-rate, fully managed model eliminates hourly billing and ensures consistent support.

You’ll always know your costs, your coverage, and your compliance standing.

5. Strategic Partnership, Not Just IT Support

Through our Business Cybersecurity & Technology Review (BCTR) process, we align your technology with operational objectives — ensuring your IT strategy supports efficiency, risk management, and mission outcomes.
