About NextGridIT
NextGridIT was built to bring experienced infrastructure, security, and operations support to organizations that need serious technical help without enterprise-sized overhead.
The company draws on more than 20 years of hands-on IT experience across network engineering, systems administration, security research, support leadership, cloud migrations, compliance-aware environments, and multi-site operations. Over 100 certifications back that experience — not as wall decoration, but as proof of continuous learning across the domains that matter to clients.
The work is grounded in practical outcomes: organizations that own their own IT, systems with documentation that actually exists, networks that stay up, and security postures based on real risk rather than theoretical severity.
NextGridIT exists to help businesses in Upstate South Carolina build technology environments that are stable, secure, and actually under their control.
That means recommending the right level of infrastructure, security, and process for each organization instead of forcing every client into the same package. It also means doing the work that generic IT support can't or won't — like MSP transitions, vendor lockout recovery, and real compliance assessments.
Security and Vulnerability Research
Active bug bounty researcher on Microsoft MSRC and HackerOne platforms. Daily work in vulnerability assessment, remediation prioritization, and security operations using Tenable.sc and enterprise compliance tooling.
Network and Infrastructure
Built on real-world experience with Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, Active Directory, SQL Server, virtualization, firewalls, BGP/MPLS, and multi-site networking — including a 4,000-account O365 migration with zero data loss.
Compliance and Regulated Environments
Daily experience in DHHS Medicaid compliance operations — HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, MARS-E, and FedRAMP. Has assessed 100+ medical offices and understands what auditors actually look for vs. what checkbox compliance misses.
Local and Travel-Ready
Based in Seneca, SC. On-site work across Seneca, Clemson, Anderson, Easley, and Greenville. Remote and project-based work available nationwide — travel when the project requires it.
Representative Results
Work includes transitioning businesses away from MSPs they had outgrown, recovering access to city infrastructure after a vendor walked away, cleaning up Microsoft 365 tenants that had drifted into unmanageable states, and delivering HIPAA security assessments for medical practices that needed findings prioritized by real risk.
Because client environments are private, NextGridIT does not publicly identify clients or publish sensitive implementation details. Case studies on this site are sanitized but specific enough to show what actually happened and what the outcomes were.
