## About

ArchiTECH MSP is a veteran-owned managed IT services provider (MSP) and managed security services provider (MSSP) headquartered in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Founded by Lucas Edwards (10+ years public sector IT experience) and Tyson Dube (25+ years IT experience, U.S. Navy veteran), ArchiTECH delivers enterprise-grade cybersecurity to small and mid-size businesses at an affordable price point.

The company operates on a "security-first" philosophy — every client engagement begins with a proven 6-step security framework (Discover & Assess, Secure the Perimeter, Harden & Patch, Detect & Respond 24/7, Empower Your Team, Review & Improve) before any IT services are delivered.

ArchiTECH applies a prevention-first methodology with 24/7 SOC-backed monitoring across its entire client base.
