Industries: Energy, Oil and Gas
IT for oil and gas, from people who have run it inside an energy company
Updated October 2026
Oil and gas companies run on a mix of corporate offices, field sites and remote locations, and their IT has to hold up across all of them. Class IV provides managed IT, cybersecurity and fractional CIO/CISO leadership for energy operators and service companies in Houston, Denver and beyond. Our founder led IT at an energy company through going public, including board reporting and the controls that held up under due diligence, so the questions your investors, lenders and partners ask are familiar ground.
Field sites and remote locations
Connectivity, device management and support for locations where a help desk ticket cannot wait. We plan for limited bandwidth, harsh conditions and staff who rotate between sites.
Separating business systems from operations
Operational technology and business networks carry different risks. We help draw clear boundaries, control remote access, and document who can reach what.
Transactions, audits and investors
Acquisitions, divestitures, financings and public-company readiness all put IT under scrutiny. A fractional CIO can run IT diligence, integration planning and the controls auditors expect.
Security that matches the threat
Energy companies are frequent targets for ransomware and email fraud. We run endpoint protection, email security, phishing simulation and incident response planning, and we report risk in terms leadership can act on.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you support the industry software oil and gas companies use?
- We manage the infrastructure, access, security and vendor relationships around your industry applications, and work directly with those software vendors when issues come up. Tell us which systems you run and we will be clear about where we support them directly and where the vendor stays the lead.
- Can you help with IT during an acquisition or divestiture?
- Yes. Our leadership has guided IT through transactions on the buy side and sell side, including diligence questionnaires, separation and integration plans, and the controls lenders and auditors review. Fractional CIO time is usually the right fit for a transaction, scoped to the deal timeline.
