Shawn Thornton II is the CEO of SMart Biz iT. He helps startups and SMBs get audit-ready, pass enterprise security reviews, and scale with modern, compliant IT. His focus is helping lean teams reduce risk, satisfy auditors, and remove the blockers that slow down enterprise deals.
At Smart Biz iT, Shawn combines modern managed IT with compliance readiness across SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, and cybersecurity insurance prep.
Clients partner with us to:
- Pass SOC 2, HIPAA, and CMMC audits faster and with fewer surprises
- Satisfy enterprise security reviews and unlock new revenue
