Macktez uses a carefully chosen collection of software tools (referred to collectively as “Macktez Management”) to proactively administer and support our clients’ technology systems.
For many businesses, to purchase and manage all of the software needed to do this on their own would be prohibitively complex and expensive, but by bundling services and pooling the time to manage them across our clients, we are able to offer them at industry leading costs and on a flexible monthly term. This reasonable monthly subscription covers both our cost for the software and our time required to manage, maintain, and support these technologies, and allows client costs to predictably scale up and down according to current needs.

Core Suite
$500 per month (base cost), plus $75-100 per identity per month
When holistic improvements to a client’s IT infrastructure, digital security, and user experience are desired, we recommend enrolling in the Macktez Management Core Suite.
While each of the included services can be purchased individually, they have been bundled together here to reduce total cost, simplify billing, and provide a comprehensive solution to the myriad of needs in front of the most companies.

Identity Management
$30 per identity per month
Identity Management simplifies and tightens security by allowing staff to use the same passwords for their local computers and a range of critical web services, reducing the number of passwords they need to keep track of and streamlining the process of hiring and termination. It uses secure bindings to reduce room for errors and close security gaps without dependence on a physical office.

$35 per workstation per month
Workstation Management provides a core set of tools on end user computers that permits remote access, software patching, antivirus and malware protection as well as asset management, inventory, and documentation. Additionally, they permit enforcement of standard security policies such as screen lock, and local encryption. To keep this cost as low as possible, support is billed hourly and only as needed.

Cybersecurity Awareness Management

Cybersecurity Awareness is an essential element of any organization’s security strategy.
