Paragus IT Welcomes Robyn Garcia as Vice President of Security and Compliance

WORCESTER — Paragus IT, a strategic IT services firm for small to medium-sized businesses, recently welcomed Robyn Garcia as vice president of Security and Compliance, further strengthening the company’s leadership team as it continues its rapid growth.

Garcia brings more than 20 years of experience across IT operations, cybersecurity, compliance, and infrastructure leadership in both public and private sector environments. In her new role, she will oversee Paragus’s security and compliance strategy, helping clients navigate increasingly complex regulatory, risk, and governance requirements — including frameworks such as CMMC and HIPAA — while advancing the company’s own internal security posture.

As one of her first initiatives, Garcia will lead Paragus through its CMMC Level 2 certification, reinforcing the company’s commitment to meeting the highest standards for security and compliance in support of government contractors and regulated organizations.

Most recently, she served as director of Operations at ArcLight IT, where she led company-wide operations, strategic planning, and process improvements to drive efficiency and scale. She previously held senior IT and cybersecurity leadership roles at Revolution Space, Howard Energy Partners, and Weaver Technologies. She began her career as an information systems technician in the U.S. Navy, where she worked within highly regulated and security-critical environments.

“I’m excited to join Paragus at such a pivotal moment,” Garcia said. “Paragus is a dynamic, fast-growing, and forward-thinking organization, and the fact that it’s employee-owned makes the culture even more special. This role is an incredible opportunity to help organizations fuel growth while taking a practical, business-aligned approach to security and compliance.”

Delcie Bean, founder and CEO of Paragus IT, said Garcia’s experience and leadership style make her a strong addition to the team.

“Robyn brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise, strategic vision, and real-world leadership experience,” Bean said. “We’re thrilled to welcome her to Paragus and confident she’ll play a key role in shaping the future of our security and compliance practice.”

With Garcia’s addition, Paragus’s service leadership team is now 100% women, and the company’s senior leadership team is now 70% women, reflecting Paragus’s ongoing commitment to inclusive leadership and diverse perspectives.

Garcia holds an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in management information systems, along with industry-recognized certifications, including CISSP and CompTIA Security+. She is currently completing a master of liberal arts degree in cybersecurity at Harvard University.
