Contract, one partner, one monthly line item

We built our careers protecting federal systems — from the IRS to the U.S. Census Bureau, where our founding team ran security operations for the largest peacetime mobilization in American history. District Tech Group exists to bring that expertise to the businesses and communities that need it most.

The founding team

Five partners.
Four disciplines.

Every service we offer is led by someone who has done it at the federal level. No generalists — each partner owns a different lane.

John Riley

District Tech Group

John built his career protecting some of the most sensitive systems in the federal government — from the IRS to the U.S. Census Bureau, where he led security operations for the 2020 Census program. He started District Tech Group to bring that same level of expertise to businesses and communities that usually can't access it. He also founded Senior Tech Care after watching too many people lose savings to scams they were never taught to recognize.

  • Community workshops on scam awareness
  • On-site technology programs for senior living communities
  • Monthly subscription plans for individuals and families

Why it matters

The standard we hold
ourselves to.

“I wanted to do things a better way — an easier way. Security shouldn't be complicated, expensive, or out of reach.”

Our founding team has run security operations for some of the largest and most sensitive programs in the federal government. That background shapes everything: how we approach problems, how we talk to clients, and what we're willing to put our names on. We don't sell what people don't need, and we don't hide behind jargon.

Clarity

No jargon, no overwhelm. We explain everything in plain language so you always know where you stand and what you’re paying for.

Federal standard

The same processes trusted at the highest levels of government, applied to organizations that have never had access to them before.

Ownership

Each service is led by a named partner — not a rotating cast of contractors. When something goes wrong, you know who to call.

Access

Plans designed for real businesses and real people, without the cost or complexity of building an in-house security team.
