About AITS

An IT partner built for scaling businesses.

Founded in 2016 in Gaithersburg, Maryland. We bring enterprise-grade IT, cybersecurity, and cloud services to organizations across the DMV — and beyond, when our clients need us there.

Our story

How we work, why we're here.

AITS was founded in 2016 with a simple thesis: small and mid-sized businesses deserve the same caliber of IT support that enterprise companies take for granted. Not a watered-down version of it. The real thing — proactive monitoring, security expertise, structured onboarding, named technical contacts who actually know your environment.

For nearly a decade, we've delivered on that thesis for a deliberately diverse set of clients. A specialty manufacturer coordinating across the Atlantic. A sole-practitioner CPA navigating IRS data security rules. A property management firm running a multi-tenant life sciences building. A performing arts academy where every dollar of technology investment has to justify itself against programming.

Each engagement looks different on the surface. Underneath, the standard is the same: treat IT operations as something that should support the business quietly, not something the business has to manage on top of everything else.

David Stillwell

Founder & Principal

David founded AITS in 2016 after years working inside enterprise IT environments. The pattern he saw repeatedly: small and mid-sized organizations were either underserved by big providers who didn't pay attention to them, or stuck working with shops that didn't bring real engineering depth. AITS was built to close that gap.

As the principal, David is technical and engaged with the work — not a sales-only founder. He stays close to engagement design, to the security and compliance posture of every account, and to the technology decisions that shape how AITS delivers. Clients work with senior people who actually understand the systems they're being trusted with.

What we believe

The commitments behind every engagement.

⚡ Proactive over reactive

We resolve issues before they become incidents. Most of our clients never see the work because the work prevents the problem.

🔒 Security as a baseline

Every engagement starts with a security posture conversation. We hold ourselves to SOC II–aligned operations and use cleared US-based analysts for monitoring.

📋 Predictable, transparent

Flat-rate agreements, clear scope, no surprise charges. You know what you're paying and what you're getting before signing anything.

🤝 Right-sized for you

A sole practitioner needs a different engagement than a 200-person manufacturer. We design what fits, instead of forcing every client into the same mold.
