NextGen was built in McHenry County, for the organizations that hold McHenry and Lake Counties together. That comes with obligations beyond the service agreement.
Every nonprofit client receives our all-inclusive nonprofit rate — enterprise-grade security priced for a program budget, not a profit center.
When a referral becomes a client, the referrer can direct a $250 donation to the local nonprofit of their choice. Most do — and we love that.
Any mission-driven organization in our counties can request our security assessment free — and keep the full report whether or not we ever work together.
We show up where our clients are — local business and nonprofit communities, veteran networks, and the vendor partners whose tools protect our clients every day.
Active in the McHenry and Lake County business and nonprofit communities — chambers, nonprofit networks, and the events where local mission-driven leaders gather. If your association wants a plain-English cybersecurity talk for members, we present at no charge.
Proudly veteran-owned and connected to the veteran business community. We prioritize veteran-owned vendors and subcontractors where quality allows — and we'll always take the call of a veteran starting a business.
Our client protection is built on named partnerships: Blackpoint Cyber, Emsisoft, IronScales, Synology, and Atera. We choose partners on capability, publish the stack, and hold them to the same standard our clients hold us.
We maintain a trusted bench of adjacent specialists — nonprofit accountants, HR consultants, insurance brokers, grant writers — and refer clients without kickbacks. If you serve the same community and work the same way, introduce yourself.

Our free IT security assessment gives your leadership a plain-English report on your risks, your compliance gaps, and exactly what it would cost to fix them. No obligation, no jargon.
