The offer ladder

From a free fit call to a full managed security partnership

Every engagement starts with a free Security Fit Call, and the first paid step is $2,500. Nobody starts at the bundle price. From there, most businesses move into a hardening project, then ongoing managed security, with day-to-day IT support layered in when needed.

Pricing depends on user count, device count, cloud environment, support needs, risk level, and how much cleanup is required. The starting prices below are designed for smaller, straightforward environments. Larger or higher-risk environments are scoped after a Security Fit Call or Tecnico Ready review.

1 Free Free intro call

Free

A short call to understand your business, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment, AI-use risk, email security, cyber insurance needs, and support requirements. We confirm fit before recommending a paid step.

3 Hardening project

Security Onboarding and Hardening

Starting at$3,500

Project to fix the highest-priority gaps your Tecnico Ready review found. We harden identity, email, sharing, and backup readiness, and this project doubles as your onboarding into Tecnico Defend.

Why a separate step? Defend's monthly price covers keeping a healthy environment secure, not repairing years of accumulated gaps. Fixing those is one-time project work, so it is scoped and billed once instead of inflating your monthly fee.

Tenant cleanup
MFA and identity hardening
Admin account cleanup
Email security hardening
DMARC setup or monitoring

Guardz onboarding or tuning
SharePoint or Google Drive sharing cleanup
Backup readiness improvements
Security workflow setup
Monthly reporting baseline

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What should most businesses start with?

Most businesses should start with a Tecnico Ready Security Review so we can identify Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email, identity, AI-use, backup, and cyber insurance gaps before recommending monthly service.

Is Tecnico Defend managed IT?

Tecnico Defend is managed security, not traditional help desk support. Tecnico Manage can be added when a business also needs day-to-day IT support.

Why is pricing listed as starting at?

Final pricing depends on users, active sending domains, your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment, devices, locations, backup scope, support scope, existing security posture, licensing, and required tooling.

Does Tecnico Desk support Google Workspace?

Yes. Tecnico Desk supports small businesses using Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or both.

Does Tecnico Desk guarantee breach prevention?

No. No provider can guarantee breach prevention. Tecnico Desk helps reduce risk, improve visibility, strengthen controls, and provide clearer security reporting.

Can managed IT be added later?

Yes. Many clients start with Tecnico Ready or Tecnico Defend, then add Tecnico Manage when they want Tecnico Desk to support daily IT operations.

Why is Security Onboarding and Hardening separate from Tecnico Defend?

Defend's monthly fee covers ongoing monitoring and upkeep of an environment that is already at a secure baseline. Most businesses need one-time cleanup to get there first. Scoping that work as a project keeps the monthly price honest and makes sure the fixes actually happen.

Honest fit

Who this is not for

Tecnico Desk may not be the right fit if you only need the cheapest help desk, want one-time break/fix support without improving your security posture, or expect security to be fully handled with no owner involvement. We work best with small businesses that want practical IT support, stronger cloud security, and a clearer path to reducing risk.
