Interplay

When compliance requirements, cyber insurance applications, or board questions start piling up, IT maintenance alone won't cut it. You need strategic security leadership.

But for many growing organizations and local nonprofits, bringing on a full-time executive CISO isn't realistic.

Our Virtual CISO (vCISO) service gives you access to executive-level cybersecurity guidance tailored to your size, budget, and risk profile.

Here’s what a vCISO brings to your team:
• Clear risk management frameworks tailored to your industry
• Stress-free preparation for compliance and insurance audits
• Proactive security planning that protects your long-term growth
• Honest, jargon-free advice for leadership and board members

We go live TODAY at 1:00 PM PST for our webinar, "Agentic AI for Seattle Business and Nonprofit Leaders."

Between all the headlines and vendor pitches, it’s hard for leaders to know where AI reality ends and marketing hype begins.

In this session, we’re breaking down what Agentic AI actually is, where it can save your team real time, and how to explore automation safely without putting your security or data at risk.

Sometimes the best reviews aren't the long ones.

A client recently summed up a support ticket in four words: "Quick and clear response." No fluff, no frustration — just someone getting unstuck fast.

That's not a one-off. It's why our customer satisfaction rating on support tickets sits at 98%. When you call Interplay, you get a real, local, in-house expert — not a ticket number lost in someone else's queue.

Fast answers. Plain language. No drama. That's hands-on IT, and it's how we like to do business. 🙌

Quick question: when's the last time your IT provider fixed something before you even knew it was broken?

For the Downtown Seattle Association, that wasn't always the case. After growing from 25 to 65 employees, their old tech setup couldn't keep up — every fix felt reactive, like putting out one fire after another.

So they came to us over a decade ago looking for something more proactive. We restructured their infrastructure, moved key systems to the cloud, and built in the kind of strategic thinking that catches problems early.

The result, in their own words: "There were no IT issues at all once they took over. It was seamless."

That's the kind of "boring" we're proud of. Read the whole story below. 👇

What if your software didn't just give you answers — but actually completed tasks for you?

That’s the promise of Agentic AI. But between the tech headlines and standard vendor pitches, it can be hard for leaders to know where reality ends and marketing hype begins.

Ever ask AI a question, only for it to give you an answer that sounds 100% convincing... until you double-check and realize it made the whole thing up?

You aren't alone. We recently wrapped up our webinar, "If AI Is So Smart, Why Is It So Wrong?" where we unpacked why AI hallucinations happen and how leaders can navigate them safely.

If AI Is So Smart, Why Is It So Wrong? - Interplay AI is being promoted to businesses and nonprofits as a powerful way to increase efficiency, reduce administrative burden, and drive greater impact.

A few years ago, our friends at IslandWood got hit with a ransomware attack. It could've been a disaster — instead, their systems were back up in hours and their data fully restored the same day.

Why? Because we'd already helped them put a solid backup plan in place, long before they needed it.

"We think of Interplay as part of our family," says Julie, IslandWood's IT Manager. That's the kind of partnership we love — especially with a nonprofit doing work as meaningful as theirs, getting kids outside and into nature.

Big news: Interplay just launched our vCISO program! 🔒

Here's the short version: a vCISO (virtual Chief Information Security Officer) gives your organization strategic cybersecurity leadership without the cost of a full-time executive hire. For small and mid-sized businesses feeling the pressure of growing cyber threats and compliance requirements, it's a game changer.

Our blog breaks down exactly what a vCISO does and how to know if your business needs one. And if the answer is yes — our new vCISO program is purpose-built for organizations just like yours.
