What Agile IT does

Agile IT, Inc. is a privately held, San Diego–based IT consulting and managed services firm founded in 2008 that operates exclusively within the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem to serve U.S. Department of Defense contractors and other federal-adjacent organizations. Its core offerings are organized under three branded pillars — AgileThrive for CMMC compliance consulting, AgileDefend for managed cloud services and security, and AgileAdvisor for strategic IT advisory — supported by a long tail of specialized services spanning Azure Government and Microsoft 365 GCC High migrations, FedRAMP-compliant backups, CMMC Enclaves, Microsoft licensing optimization, M&A IT integration, divestiture support, and complex multi-Active Directory / Entra ID identity work.

The underlying technology stack is entirely Microsoft: Azure Government, Microsoft 365 GCC High, Microsoft Defender, Purview, Intune, Entra, Exchange Online, Teams, and SharePoint Online. The firm encodes its compliance methodology into repeatable frameworks for CMMC gap assessment, POA&M management, and CUI identification. Agile IT holds five Microsoft Partner specializations (Modern Work, Infrastructure, Digital & App Innovation, Data & AI, Security), is a CMMC Registered Practitioner Organization with Cyber AB, and is a registered DoD contractor (CAGE 5ZTE6, DUNS 962415951, UEI TMAAJMPCVJ13).

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements (CMMC compliance, cloud migrations, advisory, licensing optimization) billed project- or time-and-materials-based, alongside recurring managed services contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; a free consultation serves as the entry point for a consultative, enterprise field-sales motion. The go-to-market is content-led (GCC High Guide, NIST 800-171 Guide, CMMC Glossary, comparison guides, whitepapers, case studies) feeding a direct consulting pipeline, with an active presence on LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and Facebook. The addressable customer base is U.S.-based defense and government contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information, and the firm is small (11–50 employees) and privately held with no disclosed external investment.

Direct peers

• Summit 7 Systems: Summit 7 Systems is one of the most established CMMC Registered Provider Organizations, specializing in Microsoft GCC High deployments and CMMC/NIST 800-171 compliance for defense contractors. It is the closest head-to-head competitor to Agile IT in terms of customer base, technology stack, and service offering.
• Ignyte Assurance Platform: Ignyte offers a CMMC compliance management platform plus advisory services for defense contractors, overlapping with Agile IT's AgileThrive compliance and Applied Regulatory Research offerings. Both target DIB organizations navigating NIST 800-171/CMMC.
• Lumen21: Lumen21 is a managed services and compliance provider specializing in CMMC, NIST, and Microsoft GCC High environments for defense and federal customers. It competes directly with Agile IT for CMMC readiness and managed cloud engagements.
• WidePoint (formerly IT Authorities): WidePoint provides managed IT and CMMC advisory services to federal contractors and federal agencies, overlapping with Agile IT's Microsoft-cloud-centric managed services and compliance offerings for the DIB.
• CyberSheath Services International: CyberSheath is a managed security services provider focused on defense industrial base customers, offering CMMC compliance, GCC High migrations, and ongoing managed security. It directly competes with AgileDefend and AgileThrive for the same DoD contractor buyer.
• Maven Security: Maven Security is a CMMC-credentialed consultancy providing CMMC readiness, managed compliance, and Microsoft cloud security services to defense contractors. It competes with Agile IT in the same CMMC RPO channel and serves a similar SMB defense contractor segment.

Broad incumbents

• Booz Allen Hamilton: Booz Allen is a major federal IT services and consulting incumbent with deep DoD relationships, large-scale CMMC and cybersecurity practices, and Microsoft alliance capabilities. It overlaps with Agile IT in defense contractor compliance and cloud security, but at vastly greater scale and as part of a broad federal services portfolio.
• Catapult Systems (an HCL Technologies company): Catapult is a long-standing Microsoft-focused cloud and productivity consultancy, now part of HCL, that delivers Microsoft 365, Azure, and security implementations across federal and commercial clients. It competes with Agile IT on Microsoft cloud deployment but at significantly larger scale and broader scope.
• Microsoft Federal (Microsoft Consulting Services): Microsoft's own federal consulting arm and partner ecosystem sets the platform standards around GCC High, Azure Government, and CMMC that Agile IT implements against. While not a direct competitor for SMB defense contractor work, it shapes pricing, partner economics, and the available scope of services Agile IT can monetize.
• Sikich Industry Edge (Microsoft practice): Sikich is a national professional services firm with a Microsoft cloud and security practice serving regulated and government-adjacent clients. It competes with Agile IT on Microsoft cloud migration and managed services but from a much broader industry and service portfolio.
