Company Overview
Veteran Pushing Forward LLC is a Phoenix-based, U.S. Marine Corps veteran-owned technology services company providing managed IT, cybersecurity, backup and recovery, network infrastructure, systems integration, and private on-premises AI for professional services firms and government contractors. We deliver secure infrastructure support, documentation, and readiness assistance through clearly scoped prime, subcontract, and teaming engagements.

- Security Setup — MFA, identity hardening, least privilege, firewall/VPN configuration, endpoint protection
- Private / On-Prem AI — client-controlled document retrieval assistant with approved sources and access controls
- Network Design — VLAN segmentation, business Wi-Fi, switching, rack integration, cabling diagnostics
- Systems Integration — server and virtualization deployment, identity integration, configuration documentation
- Backup & Recovery — backup design and monitoring, restore testing, recovery runbooks, retention reviews

Differentiators
- Veteran leadership: founded and operated by a U.S. Marine Corps veteran (2010–2014, honorable discharge); service-disabled veteran-owned.
- Security-first delivery: MFA, least privilege, segmentation, logging, and tested backups built into every environment.
- Client-controlled AI: private AI deployed on approved documents with controlled access — client data never used in public demonstrations.
- Documented and accountable: written scope, acceptance criteria, change control, and restore-test records.
- Local presence: Phoenix, Arizona headquarters with secure remote support and on-site installation and assessment capability.
Customers Served & Contracting Approach
Professional services firms (law, accounting, medical and dental offices, insurance, consulting) and government contractors, including small primes and subcontractors. Open to subcontracting, teaming, and micro-purchase opportunities with clearly defined scope and deliverables.
CMMC services are readiness support only; Veteran Pushing Forward LLC is not a C3PAO and does not perform certification assessments.
