Most IT providers sell security the way cable companies sell TV: one big bundle, take it or leave it, signed for a year. If you only wanted three channels, tough \u2014 you\u2019re paying for two hundred. We think that\u2019s backwards. So we broke our managed-security stack into four products you can buy individually, priced per device, per month, with no contract and no minimum bundle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s called \u00c0 La Carte Security<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 the exact same EDR, identity protection, automated patching, and remote monitoring we run for our flat-rate managed clients, sold one line item at a time. Pick what you need, skip what you don\u2019t, and cancel anytime. This post walks through what each product actually does, what it costs, and how to put a stack together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enterprise-grade security, one line item at a time. No bundles. No contracts. Cancel anytime.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Four steps, and only the last one is ongoing. There\u2019s no on-site visit, no reimaging, and nothing to rip out if you change your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Configure.<\/strong> Pick your products and how many of each. Every product is priced on its own quantity \u2014 one product\u2019s volume never changes another\u2019s rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pay.<\/strong> Card on file, billed monthly. Your invoice tracks what\u2019s actually installed \u2014 add a laptop mid-month and it shows up on the next cycle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Install.<\/strong> One installer with your products baked in. Run it on each machine \u2014 a few minutes each, no on-site visit, no reimaging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • We watch.<\/strong> From there it\u2019s a 24\/7 SOC on your endpoints, patching on your schedule, and monitoring that flags problems before they become outages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The installer is a single signed script that carries whichever products you bought. Run it as an administrator and it silently enrolls the machine \u2014 here\u2019s what that looks like on a workstation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
