Incident response (containment, forensics, recovery) is contracted separately — ad-hoc rate or per-incident retainer. We do that work; we don't bake worst-case cost into seat pricing.
Common questions
Before you sign up
-
A 60-minute call where we look at your environment together — Microsoft 365 settings, dark web exposure, basic perimeter — and tell you what's actually risky and what isn't. You get a written report within 48 hours. No card, no obligation. About a third of firms we walk through this don't need us yet — we'll tell you so.
-
Yes. Monthly plans cancel at the end of the current billing month. Annual prepay isn't refundable mid-term, but we won't auto-renew you and you keep access until the period ends.
-
No setup fee. No per-seat overage. The published monthly price is what you pay. The only thing not bundled is incident response work, which is quoted per engagement.
-
Yes — as a separately-contracted engagement, anchored by GCIH-certified experience. Available either ad-hoc (hourly) or as an annual retainer. It's intentionally not bundled into seat pricing; IR is high-variance work and bundling it would force everyone to overpay for the average year that doesn't include an incident.
-
Yes. Written Information Security Plans, incident response playbooks, tabletop exercises, and risk assessments are scoped engagements — most commonly under our Custom tier, or as standalone projects for Guard / Shield customers when they're due.
-
Guard is the briefing-and-monitoring tier — we watch your environment, pull dark web exposure, scan your perimeter quarterly, and send you a weekly operator-reviewed briefing plus a monthly board PDF. Shield adds the things that require continuous human attention: real-time email threat scanning with auto-quarantine, 5-minute M365 monitoring, auto-remediation, vendor risk, a remediation tracking workflow, the AI copilot, urgent advisory emails, and a same-business-day response window. If your inbox or M365 environment is mission-critical, Shield.
-
Ohio. We're a US-only operation — no offshore SOC, no overseas tier-one. Every briefing, every email verdict, and every operator action is performed by a person on our team.
-
We can sign a Business Associate Agreement for Shield and Custom engagements. If you handle PHI and need a BAA in place, mention that on your first call — we'll walk through the sub-processor chain with you before you sign.
