About Us

Technology Transition Paradigm offers a modern, multi‑paradigm approach to IT services—one that adapts to your business needs and ensures you get the right solution, the right provider, and the right price.

We operate through three strategic service pillars:

1. Managed IT & Security Services

For organizations under 200 employees, we provide high‑touch, direct IT support emphasizing security, redundancy, and operational efficiency. Our team deploys enterprise‑grade technologies such as Intune, ThreatLocker, and immutable/indefinite backup solutions to keep your environment protected, compliant, and running smoothly.

2. MSP Strategy & Advisory Services

For larger organizations or those with nationwide or regulated operations, we serve as your expert advisor—guiding you to the right Managed Service Provider (MSP) aligned with your requirements. Our vetted provider network includes specialists in CMMC, NIST 800‑171, SOC 2, HIPAA, GLBA (FTC Safeguards Rule), and ISO 27001, ensuring alignment with industry and compliance standards. 

3. IT Performance & Compliance Assurance

If you already work with an MSP that may be underperforming, replacing them is not always the best solution. In such cases, Transition Paradigm performs independent vCISO and vCIO gap analyses, technical audits, contract and pricing reviews, and full IT Best Practices & Cybersecurity Audits. These assessments help businesses identify vulnerabilities, measure service performance, and uncover cost‑saving opportunities across licensing, contracts, and technology platforms. 

At Technology Transition Paradigm, we don’t just support IT—we redefine how businesses engage with technology. Whether you need a trusted IT partner, an MSP optimization strategy, or expert guidance on IT spending and security, we help you navigate the best path forward—on your terms.
