Industries we support in Arizona

Mobile workforces

Northwind encrypts the laptops staff carry. If one is lost or stolen, the data on it stays unreadable.

Defense and semiconductor suppliers

Prime contractors pass security questionnaires and CMMC clauses down to smaller suppliers. Northwind prepares those suppliers to meet both.

Schools, districts and public bodies

Arizona public-sector buyers must choose cloud tools from approved lists. Northwind confirms a tool is listed before the purchase.

How support works on Arizona time

Support for Arizona comes from our Boise office. The same team provides IT for nonprofits. See the full service area.

We support Arizona offices remotely, and our technicians travel for on-site work.

The help desk is open 8am to 4pm Arizona time from March to early November, and 9am to 5pm otherwise. Northwind is available 24/7 for emergencies.

Arizona’s public-sector and defense requirements

Last reviewed . This section summarizes state law and is not legal advice.

  • Arizona’s Department of Homeland Security approves cloud vendors for public-sector use through AZRAMP and publishes the approved list.

    Northwind checks new tools against the AZRAMP and GovRAMP lists for public-sector clients.

  • The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) sets security requirements for companies that handle defense information. Phase 1 self-assessments apply today, and Phase 2 has been suspended since July 13, 2026.

    Northwind runs the self-assessment, closes the gaps and keeps the evidence your prime contractor requests.

Does Northwind provide managed IT services in Phoenix and Scottsdale?

Yes. We support Phoenix and Scottsdale businesses remotely during Boise office hours, adjusted for Arizona time, and work on site when a project needs it.

We supply a defense contractor in Arizona. What does CMMC require now?

Phase 1 of CMMC still requires a self-assessment, a score posted in SPRS and the DFARS 7012 rules, while Phase 2 is suspended. We run the assessment and fix what it finds.
