Most small businesses we work with invest a few hundred to a few thousand pounds per month, depending mainly on user count and complexity.

Our banded pricing is:

1–30 users: £80 per user / month

31–50 users: £70 per user / month

51–70 users: £60 per user / month

71–90 users: £50 per user / month

91+ users: £45 per user / month systemssecure.uk

There’s also a one-off onboarding fee, which typically equals one month’s service. For example, 10 users would usually be £800/month with an £800 setup, and 50 users around £3,800/month with a £3,800 setup.

Yes. Our whole model is built so small and mid-sized UK businesses can budget for proper protection.

Month-to-month billing, no long-term lock-ins.

Fully transparent pricing – you’ll know your per-user cost and setup fee before you make a decision.

You stay because you feel protected and see value, not because you’re tied into a contract.

The only long commitment is for Cyber Essentials certification, which is a 12-month scheme by design, not our own rule.

Our standard minimum is 10 employees, because below that it’s hard to deliver the full QuantumCare service profitably at our quality level.

If you’re a smaller firm or micro-business, we may still be able to help with a lighter engagement or one-off work—just contact us and we’ll talk it through.

Yes, but it’s simple and predictable.

We charge a one-time onboarding fee to:

- Deploy and configure the security tools

- Do initial hardening and clean-up

- Get full visibility of your environment from day one

That fee is normally the same as your first month’s subscription. For example, if your monthly cost is £1,425, your setup fee is usually also £1,425.

You can choose either:

Ongoing subscription (QuantumCare) – a complete, managed security service that acts as your cyber security department.

One-off or project work – for example, a security audit, incident response, staff training, or a specific project, charged on a pay-as-you-go basis.

That means you can get help for an urgent issue now, without committing to a long subscription – and move into ongoing protection later if it makes sense.

We keep this straightforward:

1. Free 30-minute discovery call – we listen, ask about your setup, risks, and goals, and explain where you are today in plain English.

2. Optional Deep Dive Discovery – a paid, in-depth audit that maps your real risks and gives you clear recommendations, so you don’t waste money on things you don’t need.

3. You can also use the pricing calculator on this page to get a feel for likely costs before you speak to anyone.

No jargon, no pressure—just a clear picture of what’s sensible for your size and sector.

Yes. Our core services are month-to-month with 30 days’ notice – we’d rather earn your trust than trap you in a contract.

The exceptions:

- Cyber Essentials – requires a 12-month commitment because the certification itself is annual.

- Any help with offboarding or handover is available on a simple hourly rate, so you can move safely to another provider or in-house team if you ever choose to.

That’s totally fine.

Systems Secure focuses on cyber security only. We regularly work alongside:

- Internal IT teams

- Outsourced IT providers

- Existing MSPs

We plug the security gaps, provide specialist tools and monitoring, and coordinate with your IT provider so nothing falls between the cracks.

We’re not trying to replace your IT – we’re the security arm that sits beside them.

No. Your subscription covers remote cyber security services: monitoring, hardening, incident response and advisory.

If you want us on-site (for board sessions, audits, or complex changes), you can book:

- Half-day visits

- Full-day visits

These are charged separately, with travel costs clearly quoted up front.

You can try our monthly cyber security service risk-free for the first 30 days.

If you’re not happy in that first month, tell us and we’ll refund your first month’s service fee.

The guarantee does not apply to:

- One-time onboarding/setup work

- Pay-as-you-go or hourly projects

- Subscriptions that include Cyber Essentials or ISO certification costs

If you’re unsure whether a service is covered, just ask – we’ll be clear before you sign anything.

Ultra-cheap options usually cut corners in ways you can’t see:

- Less-experienced staff

- Older or poorly maintained tools

- Providers taking on too many clients to give proper attention

At Systems Secure:

- We focus only on cyber security, not general IT.

- We invest in strong, modern protection stacks.

- We cap QuantumCare at around 20 clients to keep response fast and personal.

Cheap cyber security often just shifts the bill to later, when something goes wrong.

Whether you go ahead with us or not, you’ll leave that call clearer on what you actually need and what it should cost.

We lead the incident triage and containment, and we stay involved to make sure your systems are cleaned up and properly hardened afterwards.

For the full recovery and rebuild (restoring servers, files, line-of-business apps, etc.), we usually work alongside:

- Your internal IT team, or

- Your existing IT provider / one of our recovery partners

They handle the hands-on rebuild, while we guide and validate that everything is secure before you go fully back to business-as-usual.

We also strongly recommend you have cyber insurance in place.
Depending on your policy, it will often cover much of the restoration and rebuild costs, and we’re happy to work with your insurer’s incident handlers and loss adjusters during the recovery.
