One of the most frequently asked questions from small local businesses to large global enterprises is what does Managed Security cost? The average cost for a MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) is impacted by the size and complexity of the IT environment, number of geographic locations, and type of security services required. In evaluating the cost for managed security services, many industry analyst’s point to the TCO (total cost of ownership). The TCO for security includes factoring the overall cost of internal security staff, infrastructure, compliance, and security incident and response. The starting cost for managed security services for a business with 15 IP’s is $750 per month. Reducing the cost of security is of course very important – but a major benefit of TrustNet’s MSSP is our ability to keep our clients protected. This enables your IT organization and business to focus on their core strengths and business priorities.
