What Is Co-Managed It Services?

PRICING

IT Support Pricing Brisbane

No mystery invoices and no lock-in contracts. Bridge IT publishes its rates. Security, device management and backup start at $81.45 per user per month with a 24/7 security operations team included, ad-hoc support is $175 per hour, and every managed client is backed by our published service level agreement: urgent issues get phone or remote support within 2 hours, non-critical within 4. All prices ex GST.

SECURITY LEVELS

One Simple Per-Person Price, Everything Watched 24/7

Every user is priced the same way: one level across your whole business, covering each person, their email and Microsoft 365 account, and their computers. No per-device charges, no separate products to juggle. A 24/7 security operations team watches your devices, email and Microsoft 365 logins, ready to step in at any hour.

Good to know

✔ One level across your business. Every paid Microsoft 365 licence is covered at the level you choose, so there are no unprotected accounts. Staff without a computer are charged at the email-only rate.
✔ Extra computers are included. Up to 2 computers per user on B-Secure and 3 on B-Secure Plus, so a desktop and a laptop cost the same as one.
✔ Microsoft 365 security settings management: $50 per month per business. Microsoft changes its security settings regularly, so we manage yours continuously with a dedicated tool, keeping your account locked down and lifting your Microsoft Secure Score.
✔ Servers: $75 per month each, managed and protected.
✔ Help desk and portal included, with support work billed at our hourly rate as you need it.
✔ No lock-in contract. Billed monthly; change or cancel at any time. Microsoft 365 licences are the only exception: they’re annual subscriptions that renew every 12 months from their start date, and are quoted alongside your plan.

HOURLY WORK

Ad-Hoc IT Support

Ad-Hoc IT Support

$175 / hour

Pay-as-you-go help with no contract, ideal for one-off problems, projects and second opinions. Billed for the time your issue actually takes. Also the rate for work outside a managed plan: projects, on-site visits and structured training.

WHY ONE PLATFORM?

Attacks Rarely Stay in One Place

A scam email leads to a stolen login, which leads to a hacked laptop. When your email security, device protection and training run on separate systems, each one sees only part of the picture. Our security levels put everything on one screen, so we can follow an attack from start to finish and act faster, with a 24/7 security operations team ready to step in.

Insurers have noticed. They increasingly favour 24/7 security monitoring, and some now require it. One study found insurance claims from businesses with 24/7 security monitoring were typically 97.5% lower than from those relying on antivirus alone.*

— Watched around the clock: devices, email and Microsoft 365 logins, 24/7.

— One accountable team: no vendor gaps, no finger-pointing, one place to call.

— Evidence, not assurances: plain-English security business reviews are your best answer to insurers, regulators and clients.

The defensibility test

If the worst happens, the question you’ll be asked by your cyber insurer, by regulators under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and by your own clients is simple: what reasonable steps were you taking? A professionally managed security level answers it: devices protected and watched 24/7, email filtered, logins monitored, staff trained, backups running and restorable, and security reports proving all of it.

THE FINE PRINT

Inclusions & Exclusions

Your security level covers what keeps your systems running, secure and monitored; the inclusions are listed above. To avoid surprises, here’s what sits outside it and is quoted or billed at our standard hourly rate:

  1. “Add, move, change” (AMC) work: new hardware or software, relocations, and configuration changes are billed hourly. Minor changes (a new user, a new email address) are simply part of the plan.
  2. On-site visits: plans are remote-first, which keeps them affordable; on-site attendance is normally billed at the hourly rate.
  3. Data migration & data recovery projects: quoted as fixed-fee projects before we start, never lumped into the monthly fee.
  4. Structured training: quick tips and advice are always free; booked training sessions are billed hourly.
  5. Legacy systems: outdated or unsupported software and hardware may be excluded at our discretion.

Plans also don’t cover: equipment we don’t manage; issues caused by unauthorised changes, non-recommended use, or maintenance we were prevented from performing; product warranties (these remain with the vendor; we coordinate claims on your behalf); hardware purchased elsewhere (the supplier’s terms apply); consequential loss of profit; and operating-system upgrades for out-of-date workstations, which are charged subject to the hardware’s age and condition. Out-of-warranty mission-critical devices such as servers and backup appliances are renewed immediately; we sell all major vendors’ warranties.

Service hours: Monday to Friday 08:30–17:00; all other hours and public holidays are outside-hours. The 24/7 security operations team watches your systems around the clock regardless. Fair use: plans are sized on average client usage. If your usage is materially and persistently excessive, we’ll talk to you first about adjusting your plan before any extra charges apply. Project work outside an agreed scope is always quoted separately.
