Our story

About Methodology IT.

Your trusted cybersecurity and IT partner in Los Angeles — dedicated to keeping your business secure, compliant, and competitive.

Since 1997

Three decades of enterprise IT for businesses of every size.

Founded in Los Angeles in 1997, Methodology IT has been helping businesses stay secure, compliant, and productive for nearly three decades. What started as a mission to make enterprise-level IT accessible has grown into a trusted partnership with companies across the U.S. and beyond.

From the beginning, we recognized that small and mid-sized businesses face the same security risks and compliance demands as large enterprises — but often lack the resources to address them. Our solution: democratize enterprise IT by making it accessible, affordable, and understandable for organizations of any size.

Today, we continue to evolve with a rapidly changing technology landscape — helping clients navigate new challenges while maintaining the core values that have guided us since day one: integrity, excellence, and genuine care for our clients' success.

Our values

Six things we don’t compromise on.

These values guide everything we do and shape how we serve our clients and each other.

Sweep the Sheds

Be humble and take responsibility for your own actions. No sense of entitlement — never too big to master the small jobs.

Purpose

Find meaning in everything we do. Step up, take initiative, overcome challenges, deliver differences.

Inclusion

Create space for all voices and encourage authenticity. Diversity of people, culture, and thought — and accountability for change.

Truth

We value honesty with our clients, partners, and each other. Have the hard conversations. Mistakes happen — learn from them and be accountable.

Service

Make positive contributions to our clients, our community, and to each other. Communicate.

Family

Trust, compassion, and empathy guide our interactions. We have our clients’ and each other’s backs.
