Off-tier · Foundation Monitoring

Protected. Without the full commitment.

Foundation Monitoring is for organisations that want the safety net of a managed service, without paying for the full management yet.

We deploy our monitoring stack, watch your environment 24/7, and send you a monthly summary. When something needs human attention, we'll quote you for it, no surprise invoices.

£10
per device, per month
+ £30
per site, per month
Indicative: we'll confirm exact pricing once we know your environment.
Honest scope

What's in. What's not.

Foundation Monitoring deliberately leaves things out. That's how the price works. We tell you exactly what you're paying for, and what you're not.

What you get

What you don't get

Human labour on alerts, billed at our standard block-hour rate
No proactive maintenance visits
No onsite call-outs
No Microsoft 365 administration
No new starter / leaver handling
Honest positioning

Who Foundation is, and isn't, for

It's for organisations that want professional monitoring and threat detection but aren't ready (or don't yet need) to outsource day-to-day IT. Charities running on volunteer admins. Small offices with a competent internal helper. Businesses between IT providers.

It's not for organisations that need someone to pick up the phone when Outlook breaks, or that need help setting up a new starter, or that want monthly proactive maintenance. For that, you want Standard, Plus or Premium.

Most Foundation clients eventually upgrade to Standard once we've shown them what we're seeing in their environment. That's fine. There's no upgrade fee, no contract reset, we just move you across.
