Pricing: frequently asked questions

What counts as a managed device?

Our support plans are priced per workstation or laptop, per month. On Advanced IT & Security, a device means a workstation or laptop; servers and firewalls do not add user coverage. Servers and firewalls are managed under their own services, Managed Servers and Managed Firewalls, and are priced separately. A quote has one support plan, and it applies to every device in the quote.

Why is the Microsoft 365 baseline charged once per organisation?

Because it looks after your Microsoft 365 tenant as a whole, not individual people or devices: administration of users, groups, mailboxes and settings, and a tenant-wide security baseline covering multi-factor authentication, conditional access, anti-phishing and secure sharing policies. It is £125 per month per organisation (provisional) and is added once to every support plan. Microsoft 365 licences are not included and are billed separately.

What does "provisional" mean?

Prices and plan inclusions on this page are indicative and subject to scoping, a technical review and approval by Pulsar IT. Your formal proposal confirms the final prices, contract term and service levels. A quote is not a contract: services start only after Pulsar IT approves your quote and both parties sign the Order Form and Master Services Agreement.

How do Basic and Enhanced vulnerability scanning differ?

Basic Endpoint Vulnerability Scanning (£2.50 per device / month, included in Advanced IT & Security) finds vulnerabilities: an agent on each workstation and laptop detects missing updates and known vulnerabilities, and the findings are reported to you. Enhanced Vulnerability Management, CVE Remediation & SIEM (£10 per device / month, provisional) is an optional upgrade that replaces it, adding prioritised vulnerability management, managed CVE remediation within the agreed scope and endpoint security telemetry sent into our SIEM. It needs Endpoint Protection on each device. They are alternative levels, so you are never charged for both.

When does SOC coverage start?

Advanced IT & Security includes Pulsar IT Managed SOC endpoint monitoring at no additional SOC fee. 24/7 Managed SOC analyst coverage applies only to workstations and laptops that have been successfully onboarded, and monitoring of each device starts once it has been onboarded. With other plans, Managed SOC is available on application. How Pulsar IT Managed SOC works.

Can we change plan later?

Talk to us. Plan changes are agreed with Pulsar IT, and your contract term, any onboarding costs and service levels are confirmed in your formal proposal before you sign. You can compare the cost of each plan at any time in the quote builder.
