Cybersecurity & Managed IT Pricing Transparent Costs, No Surprises
At Big Sky Cybersecurity, we believe in clear, transparent pricing. We know that every organization’s needs are unique, which can make upfront pricing challenging in some situations. Factors like the scope of work, the complexity of the issue, and the urgency of the response all play a role in determining final costs.
We aim to provide straightforward estimates and clear communication at every stage, so you’ll always know what to expect.
Managed IT Services
Cybersecurity First Managed IT Services When your business needs IT support that thinks like cybersecurity specialists.
Why This Matters: Most managed IT providers bolt security onto their existing infrastructure support.
We build everything from a cybersecurity foundation first. Every patch, every policy, every process starts with "How does this protect the business?
Our managed IT services ensure your systems run smoothly while staying secure. All plans are scalable and can be tailored with additional features to meet your business needs.

| Costs Per Device Monthly | $75 | $95 | Pro + Custom |
| Cost Per User Monthly | $2 | $4 | Pro + Custom |
We're competitively priced within the standard per device range, but our structure eliminates the hidden costs that make others significantly more expensive.
Here's what most providers aren't upfront about: that per device rate is just the starting point.
- Hourly billing for remote support.
- Additional costs for software
- Emergency services fees
- Multi-year contracts with yearly 10%+ increases
When you calculate the actual annual IT spend with some providers you may be spending close to $300+ per device.
Our all inclusive model covers everything upfront because we make money by keeping your systems running smoothly. Those providers profit when things break, and you need hourly support - we profit when everything works perfectly.
The biggest difference when you work with us comes down to expertise. Many IT companies started as printer repair businesses and expanded into managed services without specialized cybersecurity skills. With us you're getting certified and experienced cybersecurity professionals, not generalists learning security on your time.
Bottom line: same base pricing as the market, but 25-40% lower total annual costs because there are no surprise bills, no emergency rates, and no misaligned incentives.
Yes, we can seamlessly integrate our managed IT services with your existing systems. We don't require you to buy pricey equipment or hardware for us to implement managed IT for your business.
Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure and works closely with your internal staff to ensure a smooth transition. We aim to enhance your existing setup without causing disruptions to your operations.
Yes, we offer discounts for both long-term IT contracts and our existing clients. For long-term contracts, we provide tiered discounts based on the duration of the agreement, ensuring that you receive the best value for your commitment. Additionally, we value our existing clients and offer loyalty discounts as a token of our appreciation for your continued partnership. These discounts are designed to make our high-quality services even more accessible while maintaining the same level of excellence and support you expect from us. If you're interested in learning more about our discount programs, we'd be happy to discuss the details and find the best option for your needs.
Compliance as a Service
Most businesses discover they need compliance help after it's too late. We ensure you're protected before the auditors knock.
The reality: Regulatory compliance isn't optional anymore. Whether it's HIPAA, SOX, PCI-DSS, or industry specific requirements, violations don't just cost money - they end businesses. Compliance is ongoing protection, not a checkbox.
Compliance Foundations: Starting at $350/month
Compliance program management for businesses with complex regulatory requirements or those in heavily regulated industries like healthcare.
Essential compliance for practices just beginning their regulatory journey or maintaining basic requirements. Perfect for: Small practices with basic compliance requirements working on their first compliance framework.
Full Compliance Management: Starting at $560/month
Full compliance for practices with multiple practice locations and administrators. Perfect for: Larger practices with strong compliance requirements requiring audit protections and ongoing support.
What you get:
- Compliance program oversight
- Policy management and updates
- Continuous monitoring and reporting
- Risk assessment and remediation
- Vendor risk management
- Incident response planning
- Executive level compliance reporting
- Dedicated compliance specialist
Our HIPAA Services:
HIPAA Security Risk Assessment (SRA)
For non-clients prices start at: $6,500
Complete risk analysis and ongoing compliance monitoring for your entire practice. This isn't a one-and-done assessment - it's continuous protection that adapts as your practice grows and regulations evolve. Includes comprehensive security analysis, ongoing monitoring, automatic compliance tracking, audit-ready reports, and expert remediation guidance.
HIPAA Training & Policy Attestation
$14/month per employee (billed annually)
Comprehensive training with automated tracking and certificate management. No more wondering if your staff completed training or scrambling for certificates during an audit. Includes role-specific training, automated tracking, digital certificate management, and instant compliance reporting.
The difference: General IT and printer support companies don't understand healthcare regulations and treat compliance as a checkbox. We specialize in keeping healthcare practices out of regulatory trouble.
Your practice runs on trust. One HIPAA violation destroys decades of reputation building.
Most IT providers treat compliance as an afterthought - something to bolt onto existing services. Compliance consultants charge premium rates for periodic check-ins that leave you vulnerable between visits.
We treat compliance as continuous protection because regulations and auditors don't pause.
The difference: When your auditor shows up, you'll have real time documentation proving ongoing compliance, not scrambling to piece together evidence from the past two years.
Your competitors are taking shortcuts. When they get hit with violations, you'll still be running while they're dealing with fines, legal fees, and reputation damage.
HIPAA compliance isn't a destination - it's a continuous state. Regulations evolve, staff changes, technology updates, and new threats emerge. The "set it and forget it" approach is why 78% of healthcare data breaches happen at practices that thought they were "already compliant."
Here's the reality: The practices getting fined aren't the ones who never tried to be compliant. They're the ones who got compliant three years ago and stopped paying attention.
What changes that breaks "one-time" compliance:
- New employees who need training
- Software updates that affect security settings
- New regulations and guidance from HHS
- Changes in your practice operations
- Evolving cyber threats targeting healthcare
Our ongoing compliance management means you're always current, always protected, and always audit ready. While your competitors are discovering their "easy" compliance is years out of date, you'll be operating with confidence knowing your compliance is taken care of.
One-time compliance is like one-time cybersecurity. It works great until it doesn't.
During a HIPAA audit, investigators don't just check if you have policies - they want documentation proving continuous adherence to those policies. They want to see training records, risk assessments, incident logs, and evidence of ongoing monitoring.
Here's what trips up most practices: They have policies sitting in a binder but can't prove anyone followed them. They completed training two years ago but can't show current certificates. They did a risk assessment once but never updated it.
Auditors see this every day. They know the difference between practices that take compliance seriously and those that just went through the motions.
With our continuous compliance monitoring, you'll have real time documentation for everything. When auditors ask for training records, you'll pull up current certificates. When they want risk assessments, you'll show quarterly updates. When they need proof of incident response, you'll have documented procedures and logs.
The practices that get fined are the ones scrambling to piece together evidence after the audit starts. The practices that sail through are the ones with documentation that proves they never stopped being compliant.
Pentesting
We're the penetration testers who actually test your systems manually, not just run automated scans from across the country.
The Problem with Automated Testing:
- Misses complex vulnerabilities that require human analysis
- No understanding of your specific business context
- Generic reports that don't prioritize your actual risks
- No local support for remediation
Standalone Annual Test: $3,750
- Manual testing by certified cybersecurity professionals
- 3 days of hands-on testing
- Business context vulnerability prioritization
- Local remediation support included
Penetration Testing as a Service: Starting at $250/month
Understanding that every business is different, we offer a flexible pricing structure designed to meet your unique requirements without surprises. This ensures you can make informed decisions based on your objectives and budget.
The pricing of our pentesting services is influenced by factors such as the scope of the test, the complexity of the systems and applications, the number of locations, and the depth of the assessment required.
We tailor our pricing to ensure you receive a thorough and effective evaluation.
Our pentesting services are priced based on the scope and complexity of the engagement. We offer fixed rates for standard tests and customized pricing for more extensive or specialized assessments. This ensures you receive thorough and effective testing tailored to your needs.
No, we do not charge additional fees for follow-up testing or retesting within a specified period. This allows us to verify that any identified vulnerabilities have been properly addressed without incurring extra costs.
Yes, we offer discounts for bundling pentesting services with other security assessments, such as vulnerability assessments or compliance audits. This provides a cost-effective way to enhance your overall security posture with a comprehensive approach.
Incident Response
When your business faces a data breach or cyberattack, fast action is essential. Incident response is often urgent and unpredictable, so we charge an hourly rate to ensure flexibility and efficiency.
The Problem With Other Providers:
- Remote only response from out-of-state teams
- Local IT companies without incident response experience
- Investigations that leave you vulnerable to re-compromise
- Evidence collection that won't hold up with insurance or legal proceedings
How We Work:
- Physical presence at your location
- Certified incident response that clears the threat completely
- Evidence collection that supports insurance claims and legal proceedings
- Montana based team that understands local business needs
When your business is under cyberattack, do you want to explain the situation to someone three time zones away? Or have Montana specialist at your door in 4 hours?
Hourly Rate: $165/hour
When you have a security incident, improper response can damage evidence or hurt your legal position. We provide certified incident response with proper evidence collection. Your IT provider probably does excellent work, but different problems require different skillsets.
Yes, we offer retainer-based pricing options. This allows you to secure our incident response services in advance, ensuring priority access and faster response times when an incident occurs. Retainer packages are customizable to fit your specific needs.
No, we do not charge extra fees for after-hours or emergency incident response. Our team is available 24/7 to provide immediate support whenever you need it, without any additional costs.
We ensure cost predictability by providing clear and upfront pricing, regular updates during the incident response process, and flexible pricing models that adapt to the complexity of the incident. This way, you can manage your budget effectively without surprises.
Digital Forensics
Our digital forensics services are designed for legal cases, HR investigations, and other situations where data recovery and evidence preservation are critical. We follow strict processes to ensure all data is admissible in court.
What We Handle:
- Divorce and custody cases (text messages, social media, location data)
- HR investigations (employee misconduct, policy violations)
- Business litigation (financial records, communications, data theft)
- Criminal defense support (digital evidence analysis)
Starting Price: $1,000 covers 2 preservation points (eDiscovery w/cloud account and/or physical devices)
Complex Cases: If analyzing encrypted devices, retrieving app-specific data, or large-scale investigations, is required we will scope the project and deliver a custom quote.
No, we do not charge additional fees for expedited or priority investigations. Our team is committed to providing timely and efficient service, regardless of the urgency of the case.
Yes, we offer retainer-based pricing options for digital forensics services. This allows you to secure our expertise in advance, ensuring priority access and faster response times when an investigation is needed.
