Who are we?

Alaska-Grown IT. Statewide Trust.

We’re not your Outside IT team. Ascend was built by Alaskans,
for Alaskans—because we know your tech needs to survive blizzards, spotty internet, and -40°F nights just like you do.

Since 2022, we’ve been the quiet force behind Alaska’s
toughest businesses:

Flying to villages to keep clinics online during storms.

Hardening data for tribal offices and fisheries against threats.

Answering calls at 2 AM because downtime isn’t an option.


Why us?

We speak your language—not tech jargon.

Security first: Compliance isn’t a checkbox here—it’s making
sure your patient records or catch counts stay safe, no matter where you are.

No "remote-only" excuses: If your server freezes,
we’ll find a way to get to you. Snowmachine optional.

End-to-end protection for tribal corps & regional hospitals—zero-trust networks, -40°F-hardened hardware, and compliance that actually works in Alaska.

Hardware solutions

📦 Fly-In Deployables

Pre-configured ‘IT in a Box’ for emergencies—powered up before the coffee’s hot.


🔄 Vendor-Neutral Hardware

No kickbacks, no bias—we spec Cisco, HPE, Juniper, Fortinet, Ubiquity or ruggedized Alaskan builds based on your needs, not ours.

Individual solutions

 ✈️ Statewide Field Support

From Prudhoe Bay to Ketchikan: On-site IT for remote sites, rigs, and clinics. We deploy, no matter the zip code.


💡 Arctic Zero-Trust

We’ve transitioned dozens of Alaska businesses. Expect minimal downtime and local hands-on support during the switch.

Honest answer: Logistics. From bush flights to Arctic-rated hardware, we invest in solutions that actually work here—not just the cheapest option.

Yes. We run simulated attacks mimicking real local threats (e.g., fake "PFD updates," "fuel delivery invoices," or "subsidy application" lures) and provide quarterly training in plain English

We create "micro-training" videos (<5 mins) in easily shareable formats (even via WhatsApp) and designate on-site "security champions" to reinforce best practices.

Yes. Contact us for special pricing for Alaska Native corps, clinics, and community nonprofits.

Shared login abuse. We enforce MFA and teach teams to spot "urgent" fake requests (e.g., "The CFO needs Wire info NOW!"), which spike during fishing/oil seasons.

We’ll work with what you have, but flag critical vulnerabilities (e.g., Windows Server 2012 in a clinic).

We deploy "pop-up IT kits" with satellite comms, pre-configured devices, and solar-powered charging stations—used by geologists and research teams statewide.

Off-season "hibernation mode": We secure dormant systems, automate offsite backups, and test reactivation 30 days before reopening.

Off-season "hibernation mode": We secure dormant systems, automate offsite backups, and test reactivation 30 days before reopening.

Alaska’s variables (travel costs, site complexity) make flat rates misleading. We provide all-inclusive quotes after a free assessment.

While no one can 100% prevent attacks, our layered security includes immutable backups and a recovery pledge: We’ll restore your data at no extra cost if breached and work with your team, insurance, and legal departments to ensure you are protected. 

Absolutely. We conduct Alaska-specific vendor security audits to ensure third-party providers meet your unique needs—checking for HIPAA/FISMA compliance, data sovereignty, and Alaska-proof reliability

Because we’re the only Alaska-born IT team that truly gets it. While Outside providers see Alaska as a challenge, we see it as home—which means we build solutions for the realities of village life, arctic weather, and industries that keep our state running.
