Industries We Serve
Athencia delivers industry-focused IT services that empower professional service firms to thrive in a cloud-first world.
Built for Your Business
At Athencia, we empower professional services firms to thrive in a secure, cloud-driven world. We don’t offer generic IT — we deliver purpose-built solutions that align with the realities of your industry, whether that means safeguarding sensitive financial data, supporting hybrid legal teams, or enabling consultants to work smarter across devices.
Our approach blends modern cloud technologies with deep industry insight to reduce risk, simplify operations, and position your business for growth. Everything we do is designed to be secure by default, intelligent by design, and scalable by nature — so your technology becomes a catalyst, not a constraint.
“We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all IT. Professional service firms operate under unique pressures — compliance, client trust, and constant change. We built Athencia to meet those challenges head-on with a smarter, more focused approach. It’s not just about tech. It’s about delivering peace of mind, enabling growth, and making sure IT works for you — not the other way around.”
– JEREMY PHILLIPS, FOUNDER OF ATHENCIA

Industries We Serve
Each industry has its own IT demands. We design solutions that meet those demands, securely and intelligently.
Accounting & Financial Services
Security and compliance aren’t just concerns in financial services, they’re requirements. We help modern accounting firms stay ahead of audits, safeguard sensitive data, and maintain high client trust.
Your Pain Points:
• Regulatory pressure (e.g., GLBA, FINRA, IRS data standards)
• Staff working across devices and locations
• Rising threats from phishing and business email compromise
How Athencia Helps:
We deploy Microsoft 365 and Defender solutions with advanced email protection, secure collaboration tools, and intelligent data controls. Policies are enforced through Intune across all endpoints — including BYOD — to ensure consistency and compliance without added friction.
Behind the scenes, our 24×7 Security Operations Center continuously monitors your environment, providing real-time threat detection and rapid response. It’s not just IT support — it’s proactive protection that keeps your firm audit-ready and reputationally resilient.
Legal Practices
Confidentiality and uptime are paramount in legal IT. Athencia supports law firms by securing sensitive client files, ensuring operational continuity, and enabling flexible, compliant work from anywhere.
Your Pain Points:
• Protecting privileged communications and case files
• Managing client access and co-counsel collaboration
• Reducing risk from unauthorized devices or apps
How Athencia Helps:
We enable encrypted document workflows, secure mobile access, and automated onboarding/offboarding — all built on Microsoft 365, Defender, and Intune. Legal teams collaborate confidently across offices, courts, or remote setups without compromising confidentiality.
Our 24×7 Security Operations Center adds another layer of assurance, actively monitoring your environment for suspicious activity or potential breaches. We help you protect privileged data — not just in storage, but in transit and in use.
Consulting & Advisory Firms
Consultancies depend on agility, reputation, and client trust — all of which can be damaged by weak IT practices. Athencia supports consultants with reliable, intelligent IT solutions that evolve as fast as your business does.
Your Pain Points:
• Protecting intellectual property and client data
• Working securely across distributed teams
• Streamlining collaboration on shared documents and reports
How Athencia Helps:
We design secure Microsoft 365 workspaces that support collaboration across clients, devices, and regions. Defender and Intune enforce access policies, while our training programs ensure consultants understand and embrace secure best practices.
With 24×7 oversight from our Security Operations Center, your sensitive client data, deliverables, and IP are continuously protected, even when teams are working after hours, on the road, or across multiple geographies.
Architecture, Engineering & Design
Performance, storage, and collaboration define IT in design-centric industries. Athencia helps your team work securely without compromising speed or creativity.
Your Pain Points:
• Managing and sharing large design files
• Field staff needing secure access from any location
• Balancing high-performance tools with strict security
How Athencia Helps:
We build responsive environments that handle large project files across cloud storage and secure endpoints, with Intune managing access policies for field and office teams alike. Collaboration and version control tools are streamlined, never slowing down creativity.
Meanwhile, our 24×7 SOC safeguards your environment from ransomware, intrusion attempts, and insider threats, all without interfering with performance or productivity.
Real Estate & Property Management
From mobile agents to compliance-heavy tenant data, real estate organizations face unique IT challenges that generic providers often miss. Athencia delivers mobility, security, and automation to keep your operations running smoothly.
Your Pain Points:
• Supporting a mobile, mixed-device workforce
• Securing contracts, leases, and PII
• Simplifying IT for agents and office staff alike
How Athencia Helps:
We implement cloud-first document workflows, mobile device policies, and secure access controls tailored for agents and administrators. Sensitive tenant or vendor information stays protected across every phase of your business.
At the core of our offering is real-time protection from our Security Operations Center. Your data is monitored continuously for threats, ensuring compliance and business continuity, even when your staff is spread across locations and devices.
