CertiNET

What CertiNET does

CertiNET is a micro-scale IT services firm providing cybersecurity, compliance, and IT modernization services to organizations in highly regulated industries, primarily manufacturing and defense. The company focuses on frameworks such as CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) and positions itself as a specialist rather than a generalist MSP, addressing risk reduction, compliance adherence, and security capability uplift for clients in those verticals. Operating with 1-10 employees, CertiNET is a regional player with leadership and service delivery anchored in Yakima, Washington, serving Eastern Washington and the broader Pacific Northwest under a direct, locally-led field-sales motion.

Business model and revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; pricing is quote-based and customized to client requirements, consistent with managed services delivery in regulated environments. No formal product modules, SaaS platforms, or named technology assets are described beyond a generic cybersecurity and compliance technology stack, and there is no AI/ML capability signaled in available sources. CertiNET was founded in 2006, with Jean-Francois Poitras identified as founder/owner. On March 25, 2026, the company was acquired by Convergence Networks, operating since as a wholly-owned subsidiary while retaining local leadership and client relationships in Eastern Washington, and gaining access to broader vendor partnerships and resources through the parent.

The Strategic significance of CertiNET is two-fold: as a regional specialist that converts CMMC and defense-adjacent compliance demand into recurring managed services engagements, and as the Pacific Northwest foothold through which Convergence Networks is consolidating regulated-industry cybersecurity capability. Limitations on visibility — no disclosed revenue, headcount detail, customer logos, or pricing — restrict any deeper financial assessment of the standalone unit.
