CompassMSP Acquires Simplegrid to Expand IT and Cybersecurity in Regulated Industries

CompassMSP has acquired Simplegrid Technology, Inc., a New Jersey-based managed services provider specializing in financial services, legal, and healthcare organizations. The move extends CompassMSP’s reach in highly regulated industries, where compliance, uptime, and security are core to business operations. For clients, the acquisition means access to broader resources and expertise while preserving the high-touch service model that defined Simplegrid’s reputation.

Simplegrid built its foundation on tailoring IT and cybersecurity strategies to industries where technology decisions directly affect regulatory standing and business continuity. CompassMSP brings additional layers to that model: expanded cybersecurity services, advanced cloud capabilities, and a national network of professionals who can step in with both strategic guidance and operational support.

The acquisition also strengthens CompassMSP’s position in the Northeast, a region with a dense concentration of healthcare systems, law firms, and financial institutions. These sectors face constant pressure to protect sensitive data, navigate regulatory change, and invest in technology that drives efficiency. By joining forces, CompassMSP and Simplegrid are aligning to meet those demands head-on, delivering solutions that not only secure operations but also help organizations plan for growth.

For clients, the outcome is a blend of local expertise and national reach. The combined company is positioned to provide both immediate tactical support - such as handling cybersecurity threats or managing IT environments - and longer-term strategic direction, including cloud migration, compliance audits, and risk management frameworks. The focus remains clear: delivering IT and cybersecurity that stand up to the complexities of regulated industries while keeping business goals at the center.
