Here's what our customers are saying

Pricing

Pricing

SITE

£150 per site per month

We define a site as any location where 1 or more of your employees normally work that is not their home address or where 2 of more people normally work. Working from a coffee shop once a week or working from home won’t add to the count but a branch office in the next town or a garage conversion with 2 people working there will.

What's included

Each site license covers;

  • 24x7x365 monitoring – We will proactively monitor all network devices (routers, switches, wireless points, printers, cctv, etc) to ensure everything is working as it should and that there are no known cyber security problems that could be exploited
  • Backup – We will maintain backups of settings on supported devices to help with disaster recovery or problems caused by configuration corruptions
  • Microsoft 365 monitoring – We will monitor specific aspects of your Microsoft 365 account (commonly called your Tennant) to make sure things are working and that you are keeping up with the best practice security principles
  • Patching – We keep an eye on hardware suppliers to make sure patching and security updates to network and wireless equipment are up to date and properly secured
  • Tools for CE and CE+ – By default our site package includes all the software you need to get your site infrastructure to pass Cyber Essentials +. We still have to take the assessment and pay the annual fee to get the certificate but renewal will be simple as we will have kept on top of any none conformities

Server

£200 per physical server or virtual machine

You may not know how many servers you have but that’s fine we can work that out for you. We charge per physical server if you just have physical or per “virtual” server if you have a virtualised setup.

What's included

Each server license covers;

  • 24x7x365 monitoring – We monitor various critical metrics and services to resolve issues before they become problems
  • 9-5 Monday through Friday remote support – If the above monitoring spots something is amiss, we get straight on it
  • Security Updates – We will ensure that all relevant security updates are applied in a timely manner to keep you as secure as we can
  • Next-Gen Anti-Virus – Threats are always changing and evolving and the protection that we provide evolves too. Next Gen Antivirus or Endpoint detection and response (EDR) helps us as part of our layered approach to security
  • Off site backup – Our awesome backup system keeps a copy of your data securely offsite and includes a disaster recovery and business continuity package so that if the worst happens we can have you back up and running in minutes
  • Backup Testing – Backups are only any good if they work! We Monitor and test backups regularly to ensure they are working and valid
  • Tools for CE and CE+ – By default our server package includes all the software you need to get your server to pass Cyber Essentials +

Standard User

£110 per user per month

This covers your normal office staff. They have a laptop or a PC and maybe a company mobile phone, email, documents, teams, some business specific software and printers… they always have printers.

lite User

£27.50 per user per month

Got some users who don’t have a PC or laptop but do need access to email on a company owned mobile or tablet? Maybe warehouse staff or field engineers? No worries, we have a plan for that as well, the Lite User plan is designed to keep those users working smoothly whilst still keeping things secure.

What's included

I’m cheating here… Rather than typing the “standard user” bit out again and making you read it, again; A Lite user is basically the same as a standard user but WITHOUT support for, and the software needed on a PC / Mac / Laptop.

 

 

The not so small print:

All of our support contracts are offered on rolling monthly terms, we want you to be a customer because you love our work not just because a contracts says so. However we do have a 12 month minimum commitment to cover costs for initial license purchases and onboarding.

This is our 2026 offering, prices are per month and are exclusive of VAT.

Some of the tools we use may change during the period of you contract. We make adjustments to the product stack as required to ensure you are using the latest and greatest tech to keep you secure.
