Simply IT is an authorized partner with the vendors behind the tools we deploy — cloud, security, communication, and procurement. Partnerships mean we get factory-direct support, certified deployment paths, and pricing tiers we can pass through to clients.
Each vendor below is an active partnership behind a layer of what we deploy — productivity, security, network, communications, and the procurement infrastructure that ties it all together.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DEPLOY.
The function-by-function makeup of a Simply IT-managed environment. Layered, not single-vendor — picked for the specific job each tool does best.

Layered endpoint protection. SentinelOne for AI-driven behavioral threat detection; Microsoft Defender for Business for Microsoft 365-integrated coverage.
Email Security

// Memberships
LOCAL ACCREDITATIONS & NETWORKS.
Beyond vendor partnerships, Simply IT is plugged into the local Ocala business community and the veteran-owned-business network. Each link below points to the third-party directory entry — independent verification of who we say we are.
Simply IT is an authorized partner with each vendor listed above. That means we have an active reseller and deployment relationship — not a generic free-tier signup or a one-time training certificate.
We do not currently hold third-party security attestations like SOC 2 ourselves. Where compliance matters (HIPAA-aligned environments, FTC Safeguards-aware deployments, ABA-aware legal infrastructure), we configure our clients' environments to support their compliance program — and we deploy on top of vendor enterprise tiers that carry the underlying SOC 2 attestations, BAA agreements, and audit logging required.
If a vendor partnership or membership shown above ever lapses, this page is updated. If you spot something out of date, please let us know — info@simplyit.biz.
