# Simple Plan IT > Operational Security Intelligence for defense contractors, SaaS companies, and growing businesses. Simple Plan IT is a US-based Operational Security Intelligence partner founded by A-Jay Orr. The promise: See. Verify. Respond. We help organizations see what is exposed, verify whether it is a real threat, and respond before it causes damage, through managed detection and response, threat hunting, security operations, offensive security assessment, and compliance management, for small and mid-size businesses, defense contractors, and SaaS companies. Location: Columbus, Ohio. Serving clients across the United States. Contact: info@simpleplanit.com | 614-484-0918 ## What we believe Every company that has ever been breached had security tools in place. The tools did not fail because they were the wrong tools. They failed because no one was watching when it mattered most. We watch. Every hour. Every day. US-based security engineers actively hunting inside your environment, so that when something happens, we have already stopped it. Tools alert. They do not investigate. They do not decide. They do not act. In the time between an alert firing and someone doing something about it, a criminal already inside your network can move through your systems, harvest credentials, escalate privileges, and reach the data that matters most. Most businesses find out they have been breached an average of 197 days after it happened. ## Services ### Shadow Network Assessment Offensive security. We get inside your network the same way a criminal would, then we show you everything we found. A physical device ships to your location. You plug it in. Our engineers now have inside access, the same access a real attacker would have after bypassing your perimeter. We probe, harvest, move laterally, and report everything. No automated scanners. Real engineers, real criminal techniques. URL: https://www.simpleplanit.com/shadow-network-assessment ### Managed Overwatch Security Managed security, 24/7/365. US-based security engineers watching your environment around the clock. Every alert reviewed by a human being. Every anomaly investigated immediately. We build a behavioral baseline specific to your organization and hunt continuously for anything that deviates from it.

We learn your business, write every policy, gather every piece of evidence, and sit with you through the audit. Your team does not write a single policy.

URL: https://www.simpleplanit.com/compliance/cmmc-level-2 ### SOC 2 The standard enterprise customers ask about most. Losing deals without it is a real cost. URL: https://www.simpleplanit.com/compliance/soc-2 ### GLBA Required for SaaS platforms serving financial institutions, auto dealers, or mortgage companies. URL: https://www.simpleplanit.com/compliance/glba ### HIPAA Required for healthcare and adjacent industries. Documentation requirements are specific and enforced. URL: https://www.simpleplanit.com/compliance/hipaa ## How it works 1. Discovery call. We learn your business, your environment, your team, your current tools, and where your real risk lives. 2. Risk assessment. We map exactly what is exposed, what is missing, and what needs to happen. 3. Deployment. We deploy the right services for your situation. Your team does not carry the technical weight. 4. Ongoing coverage. Active monitoring, continuous compliance management, and regular reporting. ## Founder A-Jay Orr is the founder of Simple Plan IT.
