I'm Nate Howard. I assess your security posture, design your infrastructure, and implement the fixes myself. No ticketing system. No account manager. Just the engineer who does the work.
I help Metro Detroit businesses build secure, reliable infrastructure. Manufacturers, professional services firms, and growing companies who need enterprise-grade engineering.
I assess your current environment using an AI-powered platform that produces cryptographically signed findings. You get a clear picture of your security posture and what needs attention.
I don't just hand you a checklist. I implement the technical controls: network segmentation, access controls, encryption, logging, and monitoring. The actual engineering work that secures your business.
FortiGate firewalls, proper network segmentation, encrypted backups, SIEM deployment. I design and build infrastructure that meets your security requirements and actually works.
After implementation, I stay available for security questions, configuration changes, and audit preparation. Direct access to the engineer who built your infrastructure.
I use an AI-powered security assessment platform that produces cryptographically verified findings. Every vulnerability, every configuration issue, every security gap is documented with proof.
Comprehensive security assessment of your infrastructure. AI-powered analysis with cryptographic proof of findings.
Clear remediation roadmap organized by risk and compliance impact. No consultant-speak. Just what needs to happen and in what order.
I do the engineering work myself. Network segmentation, firewall configuration, access controls, logging, encryption. Actual implementation.
Documentation, ongoing monitoring, and peace of mind. Your infrastructure is built right and stays that way.
I spent my career at Presidio and Sentinel Technologies supporting and securing infrastructure for enterprises. Fortune 500 networks. Multi-site deployments. The kind of engineering that smaller companies assume they can't afford.
I started Third Level IT because growing businesses deserve that same level of expertise. Not a help desk. Not junior techs following scripts. An engineer who does the work himself.
Enterprise-grade engineering without enterprise-grade overhead. I chose boutique consulting over corporate life because I wanted to stay hands-on with the work that matters.
When you work with me, you get me. Not an account manager who takes notes and disappears. Not a rotating cast of technicians. The same engineer from assessment through implementation through audit.
No proposals that take three weeks. A conversation about your compliance deadline and what it will take to meet it.
