Scott P. Nicholson is Managing Member and Principal Consultant. His background spans healthcare, nonprofit organizations, and defense contracting.

He is interested in the secure and ethical use of AI to support clients’ needs. He holds CCSP, CGRC, and CCP credentials, a Master of Science in Management from Friends University, and a Bachelor of Science in Gerontology from Wichita State University.

Scott's professional affiliations include InfraGard, ISACA, ISC2, FAIR Institute, The Cyber AB, SecureWorld Kansas City (Advisory Council Member), and Cyberr.ai (Founding Member). Organization logos link to their websites; Cyberr.ai's Founding Member label links separately to Scott's profile. These are professional affiliations, not claims of organizational endorsement of N4.

N4's principal has a CCP credential; this should not be interpreted as a claim of completed CMMC client engagements or authority to provide certification assessments. Specialized legal, engineering, and CMMC needs may be referred to independent providers. Legal advice and representation are provided by independent attorneys. Palladium Innovations delivers its services through separate client engagements.
