for business Book a risk assessment Every price, published.
No quotes to chase. No surprise bills.
Prices exclude tax. You keep paying Microsoft for the licences you already own, at cost, and we estimate any extra platform usage up front, so you see the whole cost before you commit.
Twelve packs, one page.
Per person, per device or fixed. Nothing is priced per alert or per incident, so a bad month never costs you more.
