A managed service provider built on accountability, reliability, responsiveness, and one core value: relationships over deals. Mission-critical IT, secured and managed since 2011.
Robert Hessel started Source 1 Solutions in a single Clearwater office. Today it is a managed service provider with full-time teams in 17 countries supporting businesses in 148 countries. The model is simple and hard to copy: treat a client’s uptime as a duty, not a line item.
That standard runs through everything we do. Level 1 engineers answer every call live, 24/7/365, providing the responsiveness, reliability, and expertise required for complex, multi-site, multi-cloud environments where downtime is never an option. Source 1 Solutions is a certified Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise (NaVOBA).
Hessel is the author of Safe City: From Law Enforcement to Neighborhood Watches, a number one new release on Amazon in its category, and was named one of Industry Era’s Top 10 CEOs of 2020. His mandate has not changed: empower clients, protect what matters, and give back to the communities we serve.
From the help desk to the physical security perimeter, Source 1 Solutions brings specialized teams together across four core practice areas: Managed IT, RF Services, Security & Surveillance, and Electronic Component Sourcing.
Your IT environment is too complex to leave to chance. We take full ownership, monitoring, managing, and optimizing your infrastructure with Level 1 engineers who answer every call live, 24/7/365. Consulting, cybersecurity, compliance, cloud, networking, voice, data, desktop, and IT staffing under one accountable team.
Stadiums, hospitals, industrial plants, and government buildings demand wireless that performs without failure. We design, deploy, and maintain the RF systems that keep teams connected when it matters most, from site surveys and ERCES public safety coverage to two-way radio.
Physical security and cybersecurity are no longer separate disciplines. We deliver one integrated approach: access control systems for business, CCTV and surveillance, smart site monitoring, and life safety, backed by 24/7 SOC monitoring and vulnerability management.
Supply chain disruption does not pause for your deployment schedule. We handle component sourcing end to end, identifying, sourcing, and procuring the exact parts your infrastructure needs, with quality assurance and compliance verification at every step.
Source 1 Solutions maintains certifications and compliance capabilities spanning information security, quality management, federal procurement, RF, and life safety. Credentials include SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, AS9120, GSA Schedule, NaVOBA Veteran Business Enterprise, NICET, iBwave, FCC, and Safer Buildings Coalition, with support for HIPAA and GDPR compliance requirements.
