Published Pricing for Managed IT and Security
Most IT companies make you sit through a sales call to hear a number. Ours are published. Security tiers are priced per device, per month. A free 15-minute assessment tells you which tier fits and how many devices you're counting, and your number comes back in writing. Capstone has run IT and security for practices in Springfield, Dayton and Columbus since 2004, and some clients have stayed 20 years and more.
- AI endpoint security with ransomware rollback
- DNS and web protection
- 24/7 monitoring
- Document backup
- Everything in Tier 1
- 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR)
- Network and identity monitoring
- Dark-web monitoring
- Perimeter scanning
Full network monitoring depends on business-class infrastructure. The assessment determines fit.
- Everything in Tier 2
- Email security
- Archiving and compliance
- Monitoring, patching, alert review, and document backup on top of your security tier
- Hands-on work at the published $150/hour rate
- Your number depends on how many people, computers, and locations you have, so it is set after the 15-minute assessment and put in writing before you commit.
A device is a computer or server we protect. Device count isn't headcount: shared workstations count once. Regulated practices (HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, Ohio Rule 1.6) typically land in Tier 2 or 3, and the assessment sets your exact tier and count before you commit to anything.
“…They were involved with the installation and maintenance of the network system and continue to provide excellent service at a reasonable cost…”

Pricing Questions
Because a device is countable. You can walk your office and count computers, and each one shows on the invoice, so the security tiers are priced that way. Managed IT adds a per-user and per-site part because support follows people and locations, and that number is put in writing at the assessment before you commit.
Tier × device count. The free 15-minute assessment establishes both: which tier your industry and insurance call for, and how many devices you're actually protecting. You'll have your exact monthly number before you commit to anything.
Your monthly fee moves with your device count. Anything else that can change it is spelled out in your agreement. No per-ticket billing for the protection itself — alerts, questions about your covered tools, and the automated response are all inside the monthly price. Hands-on work beyond the stack is billed at the published $150/hour rate, your authorized contacts decide who can approve it, and the point of the stack is that those hours are rare.
Project work — a migration, an office move, new infrastructure — is scoped separately at the published $150/hour rate, and you'll see the scope in writing before work starts.
Yes. Setup is a one-time charge, quoted in writing before you sign.
You own your data, the hardware you have paid for and your credentials. When you leave, we hand over your credentials and the current documentation for your systems on request. On our managed plan, you have thirty days after the agreement ends to retrieve your data. Moving to a new provider, exporting history and briefing the next company are quoted as a separate project.
