How the MicroShield Plan Works
We designed this to be simple, fast, and easy on your team.
Mini Security & Risk Snapshot
We start with a quick look at your current setup—devices, email, and backups—so we can show you your Risk Meter score and where to focus first.
MicroShield Setup
Our team installs the MicroShield agent on your covered computers, hardens your email, and confirms your backups. Most setups are completed within 24–48 hours.
Ongoing Monitoring & Checkups
We monitor in the background, send you simple monthly health reports, and review your Risk Meter with you every quarter so you’re never in the dark.
Because cyber threats don’t care how small your business is.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still wondering if the MicroShield Plan is right for your business? Start here.
“We’re really small. Are we too small for this?”
Probably not. MicroShield was built exactly for solo providers and very small offices that don’t need a full IT department, but still want to protect their business, data, and customers.
Is this a full managed IT service?
MicroShield focuses on the essentials: endpoint protection, patching, email security, backups, and basic support access. If you outgrow this plan, we can talk about transitioning into a full managed IT partnership when the time is right.
How long does it take to get started?
Most small offices are onboarded within 24–48 business hours once we’ve completed your Mini Security & Risk Snapshot and scheduled a start date.
Do we have to sign a long-term contract?
No. MicroShield is a month-to-month plan. If it’s not the right fit, you can cancel with notice according to our standard terms and conditions.
What if we already have someone “good with computers” helping us?
MicroShield can complement what a helpful staff member or friend already does. We bring specialized security tools, monitoring, and documentation so they’re not carrying the whole weight alone.
Can you help if something goes really wrong?
Yes. MicroShield clients get priority access to our team for incidents or emergencies. Some situations may involve additional project or incident-response fees, which we’ll explain clearly before any work begins.
