Salinas, CA — [February 9, 2026] — Alvarez Technology Group, a leading California-based managed IT and cybersecurity services provider, is celebrating 25 years in business, marking a quarter-century of helping organizations operate securely, efficiently, and confidently in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
Founded in 2001 in Salinas, California, Alvarez Technology Group began as a small IT consultancy focused on helping local businesses navigate the rapidly changing technology landscape. Over the past 25 years, the company has grown into a full-service managed IT and cybersecurity firm serving 200+ organizations across California, with deep expertise in regulated and security-sensitive industries.
Today, Alvarez Technology Group is recognized as one of the most established and security-focused IT providers in the region, supporting clients across professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, and government and defense contracting.
“Reaching 25 years is a reflection of our commitment to doing things the right way – investing in security, process, and people long before it became industry standard,” said Luis M. Alvarez, President and CEO of Alvarez Technology Group. “Technology has changed dramatically since 2001, but our mission has stayed the same: protect our clients, earn their trust, and help them operate with confidence.”
A Legacy of Security, Compliance, and Innovation
As cyber threats and regulatory requirements have intensified, Alvarez Technology Group has remained ahead of the curve by prioritizing independent validation, compliance readiness, and continuous improvement.
The company is among the top 5% of managed service providers worldwide to achieve the MSPAlliance Cyber Verify™ AA rating, an independent audit of cybersecurity practices. In addition, Alvarez Technology Group also earned the GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark and is a CMMC Registered Provider Organization (RPO), authorized to guide government contractors through CMMC and NIST 800-171 requirements.
Over the years, the company has earned consistent industry recognition, including multiple appearances on the CRN MSP 500, MSPMentor 250, Inc. 5000, and MSSP Alert Top 250 MSSPs lists – reflecting sustained growth, operational maturity, and cybersecurity leadership rather than short-term success.
Leadeship Rooted in Cyber Defense and Community
President and CEO Luis M. Alvarez brings more than two decades of cybersecurity and leadership experience, including 21 years of service in the U.S. Air Force supporting cyber operations and defense intelligence. That background has helped shape Alvarez Technology Group’s security-first culture and disciplined approach to risk management.
Beyond technology, the company has remained deeply involved in the local community, supporting regional business organizations, nonprofits, and civic initiatives throughout California’s Central Coast.
Looking Ahead
As Alvarez Technology Group enters its next chapter, the company remains focused on helping organizations navigate emerging challenges – from cybersecurity threats and compliance pressures to cloud transformation, operational resilience and artificial intelligence.
“The next 25 years will demand even greater accountability from technology partners,” Alvarez added. “We’re committed to continuing our investment in security, compliance, and people so our clients are prepared for whatever comes next.”
