The three tiers you sell

The Preferred Plans

Three tiers of managed IT and cybersecurity: Essentials, Professional, and Complete, delivered and supported by our team under your relationship.

Preferred Essentials, Professional, and Complete are a ladder, not a menu: each tier includes everything in the tier below it, plus more. Most clients start at Essentials or Professional and grow into Complete as their environment and compliance needs scale.

The ladder

Every tier includes the full security baseline below. There is no stripped-down option, a client who wants to pay less takes a lower tier, never a hollowed-out one.

In every tier, no exceptions

The security baseline is table stakes, not an upsell

  • 24/7 threat detection & responseIn your language: Verified alarm plus guard response, real people investigate and contain.
  • Multi-factor authenticationIn your language: A second lock on every door, not just the one at the front desk.
  • Patching & updatesIn your language: Central-station monitoring, every device is a watched zone.
  • Email threat protectionIn your language: Front-desk visitor screening before anyone gets in.
  • Security awareness trainingIn your language: Training staff not to hold the door for a tailgater.
  • Restore-tested backupIn your language: The redundant panel that takes over instantly, tested, not assumed.

Plus Microsoft 365 in every plan

Beyond the people

Who covers the firewall? We do.

The plan rate covers people. The equipment below is counted during discovery and covered at the client's tier on the same agreement, so an equipment-heavy shop is priced correctly without a separate network plan, and nothing on the network goes unwatched.

  • Servers
  • Firewalls
  • Switches
  • Wireless access points
  • Storage (NAS)

Hardware purchases and project work are quoted separately, always itemized, never folded into the plan rate.
