Houston and the Gulf Coast
Managed IT services for Houston businesses, led by executives
Updated October 2026
Class IV serves small and mid-sized businesses across Houston and the Gulf Coast, with deep roots in the energy sector. We run day-to-day IT, security and compliance, and add fractional CIO or CISO leadership when the business needs senior direction on budgets, risk, transactions or growth. Our leadership has run IT inside an energy company through going public, so we know what boards, auditors and investors ask for.
Managed IT, run day to day
Help desk, device and user management, Microsoft 365 administration, backups, patching and monitoring, with service levels written for your business. Remote support covers most needs, and on-site work in the Houston area is arranged when the job calls for it.
Built for energy and field operations
Offices, field sites and remote locations each have different connectivity and security needs. We plan for all of them, including separation between business systems and operational networks. See our oil and gas IT page for detail.
Security, insurance and compliance
Cyber insurance questionnaires, customer security reviews and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA and CMMC. We help you answer them accurately and close the gaps they expose.
Leadership when you need it
Executives are an option, not a requirement. Fractional CIO and CISO time is added for specific needs such as acquisitions, due diligence, a budget cycle or a board security briefing.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you have IT staff in Houston?
- Class IV serves Houston as a primary market. Managed services are delivered remotely, which covers most day-to-day needs, and on-site work is arranged for infrastructure, hardware and network projects. When a client needs regular local presence, we staff for it as part of the engagement.
- Do you only work with energy companies in Houston?
- No. Energy is a strength because of our leadership's background, but we also support professional services, financial, healthcare, retail and distribution businesses across the Gulf Coast. What they share is a need for reliable IT and honest advice about where to spend.
