After building and managing large-scale IT infrastructure, security operations, and cross-functional technology teams in complex corporate environments, Laz founded Primetime IT Solutions in 2007 with a clear mission: deliver the same enterprise-grade discipline, security rigor, and operational excellence to South Florida's small and mid-market businesses that Fortune 500 companies take for granted.

2007

Founded Primetime IT Solutions

Transitioned from corporate IT to MSP ownership with a singular focus: bring enterprise-grade IT practices, security discipline, and deeply personalized service to South Florida's SMB market. Over nearly two decades, Primetime has grown into a trusted managed services partner for law firms, professional services organizations, and regulated industries that demand structured governance, operational resilience, and uncompromising data protection.

Core Specializations

Laz specializes in designing, deploying, and managing technology environments where security, compliance, and operational continuity are non-negotiable. His hands-on approach means systems are not only architected correctly — they are implemented, secured, monitored, and maintained to enterprise standards.

Microsoft 365 & Hybrid Infrastructure

End-to-end Microsoft 365 architecture including Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, and Intune. Hybrid identity management, tenant hardening, conditional access policy design, and seamless cloud migrations. Laz designs M365 environments that balance productivity with security across the entire Microsoft ecosystem.

Cybersecurity Framework Implementation

Layered security architecture built on SentinelOne EDR, Huntress MDR, Microsoft Defender, and 24/7 SOC monitoring. Implementation of NIST-aligned security frameworks, email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), identity threat detection, data loss prevention, and comprehensive incident response planning. Every client environment is built to withstand modern threat actors.

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

Comprehensive backup and disaster recovery strategies including image-based backup, cloud replication, RTO/RPO engineering, and documented recovery runbooks. Laz designs DR plans that are regularly tested and validated — not just documented and forgotten. When disaster strikes, his clients recover quickly because the plan was built to work under pressure.

Governance, Compliance & Regulated Industries

Deep experience serving legal, professional services, and regulated industries that require structured IT governance, privileged data protection, audit readiness, and documented compliance controls. Laz understands the intersection of technology and regulatory obligation — building environments that satisfy compliance requirements without sacrificing usability or operational efficiency.
