Why Charles IT?

Charles IT is the Connecticut Compliance Expert, your friendly, no-nonsense IT team focused on helping companies in highly regulated industries make their technology work for them. Here, IT is personal: We know that disaster recovery, cloud services, and complex compliance from HIPAA to CMMC and DFARS are only half the work. The other half is about helping people – building real relationships that deliver real results and create raving fans that are excited to call us part of the team. Call us day or night, snowstorm or hurricane, and we’re on call and on point with a smile and a solution, every time.

We got this.
Love, Charles
