Frequently Asked Questions
A practical, no-fluff FAQ that explains how Cyber Command works, why our flat-rate model is different, and how we keep Central Florida businesses secure, compliant, and future-ready.
Foundation, model, pricing, and what makes us different.
Most MSPs sell hours. We sell outcomes. Our flat-rate model aligns incentives: we profit when your systems are stable, documented, and secure. That pushes us to automate, prevent incidents, and resolve root causes, rather than billing more time.
- Transparent, itemized billing: onboarding is built into your monthly rate, and every invoice shows exactly what you’re paying for.
- Quarterly roadmaps: we plan lifecycle, refresh, and modernization with clear budget impact.
- Transparency-first: you always have full visibility into open tickets, technician notes, and reports.
Bottom line: you get a partner, not a timeclock.
Because production issues don’t respect business hours. Our U.S.-based engineers handle overnight patches, monitoring, and escalations with clear SLAs.
- Response times in writing: a live person answers 24x7x365, tickets are created immediately, and a Qualified Network Analyst responds within one hour on emergencies. And in practice? Our typical response runs a fraction of those written commitments.
- Resolution focus: every ticket is worked to resolution with built-in escalation to senior engineers, and recurring issues trigger root-cause problem-management.
- Proactive: maintenance windows scheduled to avoid disruption, with rollback plans.
We price by user, device, or location, whichever cleanly matches your footprint. You’ll see one predictable monthly number tied to the assets we manage.
- Scale both ways: your bill follows your real footprint month by month. Users and devices go on the bill when they start, and fall off when they’re offboarded or retired. Every plan has a simple monthly baseline you can budget around; above it, everything is elastic.
- Mountain Valley Pricing: built to handle seasonal highs and lows without renegotiation. No change orders, no sales calls, just a bill that matches reality.
- No surprises: vendor price changes (like Microsoft 365) are clearly itemized on your invoice. Full visibility, no bundling games.
No separate upfront onboarding invoice. Discovery, documentation, and baseline hardening are built into your monthly rate. And project work beyond your plan is always scoped and approved by you before it begins.
- Day 1–30: asset discovery, credential consolidation, diagramming, patch baselines, and priority security quick-wins from your onboarding assessment.
- Day 31–60: standards enforcement (least privilege, encryption at rest/in transit), zero-trust policies, alert tuning.
- Day 61–90: automation & DevOps improvements, KPI targets, and your first quarterly roadmap.
- 24/7 NOC & Helpdesk: live-answered support around the clock, 24/7/365 monitoring, patching, and remote remediation, with onsite dispatch available whenever hands-on help is needed.
- Backups & DR: enterprise-grade protection options (hourly server backups, virtualization-ready restores, nightly offsite replication, and SaaS backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace) matched to your risk tolerance.
- Cloud Ops: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and SaaS application management, with users, identity, mailboxes, and policies handled for you.
- Cybersecurity: advanced endpoint defense on covered systems, plus a full menu of enhanced protections (24/7/365 US-based SOC, anti-phishing, and security awareness training) sized to your risk profile.
- Vendor liaison: we coordinate with your ISPs, software vendors, and OEMs so you’re never stuck playing middleman.
- Full transparency: your tickets, technician notes, monthly reports, and quarterly strategy reviews keep everything in plain view.
Everything we deliver is spelled out in your Statement of Work: in writing, before you sign.
Hourly models incentivize rework and reacting. Flat-rate forces discipline: automation, standardization, and prevention reduce incidents and cost. That’s better for uptime, budgets, and sanity.
- We track MTTR, patch compliance, backup success, asset health, not billable hours.
- Recurring issues trigger problem-management with documented root cause and fix.
Leaders stay focused on customers and revenue, not support tickets. We build a predictable plan:
- Quarterly IT roadmap: lifecycle, risks, cost projections, and modernization milestones.
- Metrics you can see: monthly reports on your network’s health and trends, reviewed together at quarterly strategy meetings, with clear recommendations for what’s next.
- Exec-ready reporting: clear summaries your CFO/COO can actually use.
Focused on the realities of construction, manufacturing, healthcare, AdTech, and local government.
We serve teams where downtime is expensive and compliance matters: construction, manufacturing, healthcare, AdTech, and local government.
- ERP & finance: Sage 300, QuickBooks Enterprise, job-costing, inventory, and multi-entity environments.
- Hybrid work: secure access for field crews and remote offices with AVD and zero-trust policies.
- Compliance-aware: deep experience supporting HIPAA, CJIS, and CIS-aligned environments, working hand-in-hand with your compliance stakeholders.
We stabilize legacy apps, standardize images, and bring job sites into policy. The result is fewer support spikes and predictable spend.
- Standard builds: golden images, device compliance, autopilot deployment.
- Job site connectivity: SD-WAN and LTE failover with prioritized traffic (VoIP/ERP).
- DR readiness: layered backup and disaster-recovery options engineered for fast recovery when it counts.
We also cut “soft costs” by reducing technician dispatches and eliminating vendor ping-pong.
Think of us as your platform team: you keep business context and local touch; we handle infrastructure scale and depth.
- Shared visibility: your team sees open tickets, technician notes, and reports right alongside ours.
- Tiered escalation: your team handles L1/L2; we own L3, project design, and security.
- Team enablement: we train alongside your admins and keep standards consistent across both teams.
Your bill flexes with you every month: new users and devices go on when they start, and offboarded users or retired machines fall off. Scale up for the busy season and back down after, with no renegotiation and nothing to ask for.
- New hires provisioned via a standardized checklist (ID, MFA, mailboxes, apps, permissions, devices).
- Departures deprovisioned securely with access reviews and device wipes where needed.
- Seasonal staffing supported with temporary licensing and policy sets.
We share metrics you can verify, not vanity numbers, reviewed with you at every quarterly business review.
- Service: response/resolution times, backlog, first-contact resolution, CSAT.
- Security: patch cadence, MFA coverage, phishing test results, backup success.
- Cost control: cloud spend by service, idle resources, rightsizing recommendations.
Quarterly reviews include a prioritized roadmap with effort, impact, and budget ranges.
Defense-in-depth, cloud modernization, and the path to AI readiness.
We use layered defenses, tailored to your environment and risk profile, and we verify they’re working continuously.
- Endpoints: EDR with behavioral detections, device encryption, least-privilege admin.
- Identity: MFA, conditional access, passwordless options, privileged access reviews.
- Network: segmentation, DNS filtering, geo-fencing, and secure remote access.
- Data: 3-2-1 backup architecture with immutable copies, built for fast, dependable restores.
- People: unlimited phishing simulations and weekly security awareness training available for every user.
And with our managed SOC service, alerts flow to US-based analysts 24/7/365: event correlation, threat hunting, and incident response with proven playbooks.
We don’t “set and forget.” We measure posture, hunt for anomalies, and prove recovery.
- Verification over assumption: 24/7 monitoring, patch compliance tracking, and quarterly security reviews, plus restore drills and tabletop exercises as your program matures.
- Config hardening: CIS baselines for endpoints, Azure/365 security score tracking.
- Change control: documented standards and peer review for risky changes.
AI succeeds when infrastructure, identity, and data quality are mature. Our AI Readiness Checklist scores your environment and maps a practical rollout path.
- Data hygiene: access governance, PII/PHI handling, secure data pipelines.
- Guardrails: DLP policies, tenant restrictions, approved tools, and logging.
- Workflow impact: automation targets (tickets, approvals, reporting), ROI checkpoints.
The outcome is a safe, staged adoption plan (pilot → expand → standardize) with usage & savings tracked.
Yes. We run structured migrations with rollback plans and cost controls.
- Discovery: dependencies, licensing, performance baseline, and right-sizing.
- Pilot cutover: low-risk workloads moved first; validate latency and access.
- Full cutover: scheduled windows, comms plan, smoke tests, and post-cutover tuning.
- Cost governance: budgets, alerts, tags, reserved/savings plans where sensible.
You get full visibility into the work we do for you: open tickets, technician notes, monthly reports, and quarterly reviews.
- Accountability, every quarter: transparent reporting and regular strategy reviews mean you always know exactly where your IT stands.
- Continuity: if you build an internal IT team, we shift seamlessly into co-managed mode and work alongside them.
- Audit season, simplified: monthly reports and quarterly reviews give your auditors, insurers, and board a clear picture of your IT posture.
Your “internal platform team,” on demand. We create paved roads for developers and analysts so releases are faster and safer.
- CI/CD: standardized pipelines, secrets management, and environment parity.
- Observability: logs, metrics, tracing with actionable SLOs and alerts.
- Cost & security: least-privilege IAM, infra as code, ephemeral environments.
