Fixed per-device fee

The same predictable figure every month. Easy to budget, easy to forecast.

Unlimited support included

No limit on the help your staff can request, 9am–5pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). No per-call billing. After-hours cover can be arranged separately.

Adjusts as you change

Add a device and it's added next month; remove one and the fee drops. You only pay for what you run.

Fixed-price projects

Larger work is quoted up front at a fixed price. If it overruns, that's our cost to absorb.

What It Costs

One Price. Fully Protected.

We don’t sell security as an optional extra, because leaving gaps isn’t optional. Every seat we manage is fully protected from day one – support, endpoint security, backup and email defence, in a single monthly fee.

Every Layer, Explained

Four Layers, No Weak Points

Each layer does a job the others can’t. Remove one and you leave a door open – which is why all four are part of every managed seat.

Mandatory · charged per user

StarGate Email Security

$20

Per mailbox / month

  • Dedicated email security gateway beyond M365’s native filtering
  • Deep inspection of attachments, not just a surface scan
  • Suspicious content sanitised and delivered safely, not just blocked
  • Built-in data loss and compliance controls
  • Configured and monitored by Tanglin, not left on autopilot
Mandatory · charged per mailbox

How it scales. A single staff member with one device and one mailbox is $145 + GST a month. If someone uses more than one device – say a desktop and a laptop – each device needs its own SentinelOne protection, so endpoint security is charged per device. Likewise, where a person has more than one mailbox, each mailbox needs its own StarGate subscription.

A note on free email addresses. StarGate protects mailboxes on a business domain you own. Free consumer accounts – such as an @gmail.com address – can’t be protected by StarGate. If your business still runs on a free email account, we’ll help you move to a proper company domain that can be fully secured – a change we’d recommend regardless, for credibility as much as safety.

Servers and enterprise infrastructure: support for servers, firewalls and other enterprise infrastructure is priced on application, based on your environment. Talk to us for a tailored quote.

Included Every Month

Your Outsourced IT Department

Outsourced IT Manager

Tanglin takes on all IT manager responsibilities – strategy, procurement, operations and support – for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Unlimited Remote Support

Your staff can contact us by phone, text or email as often as they need from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (public holidays excluded), with a two-hour response-time objective. Cover outside these hours can be negotiated separately.

Proactive Monitoring

Our systems monitor every device around the clock while it’s online, and we resolve most issues behind the scenes – often before your staff notice anything is wrong.

Patching & Updates

Servers and PCs are kept current with security patches and updates every month, automatically and without disruption.

Continuous Security Auditing

We keep your security posture, policies and configurations under ongoing review, structured around the COBIT governance framework.

Annual Strategy & Budgeting

Each year we produce a review of your IT infrastructure with replacement timelines and budget projections, so technology is never a surprise cost.

Why Fixed-Fee

IT You Pay to Prevent, Not to Repair

You don't insure your car only on the day you crash. You pay a steady premium so you're covered before anything happens – and good IT works the same way.

The break-fix model

  • You paywhen something breaks
  • Your provider earnsmore when you have problems
  • Your costsspike, unpredictably
  • Incentivefix it, then wait for the next failure

The Tanglin model

  • You paya flat monthly fee
  • We earnthe same whether or not things break
  • Your costsare fixed and easy to budget
  • Incentiveprevent failures so they never happen

When your provider only gets paid to fix things, stability isn't in their interest. A flat fee puts us on the same side as you: the fewer problems you have, the better the arrangement works for both of us.

Common Questions

Pricing, Answered Plainly

Is support really unlimited?

Yes. For the regular monthly fee, your staff can contact us for any IT support they need during business hours, with no limit on the number of requests. Business hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Coverage outside these hours can be negotiated separately. The vast majority of support is delivered remotely. If we need to attend on-site, a travel charge may apply.

What happens when we add or remove a device?

The fee is recalculated at the end of each month. Add a device and it's included from the following month; if a device is decommissioned and not replaced, the fee reduces accordingly. You're never locked into paying for equipment you no longer use.

Why is SentinelOne included rather than traditional antivirus?

Traditional signature-based antivirus can only catch threats it has already seen, and with hundreds of thousands of new malware variants appearing daily, that's no longer enough. SentinelOne uses AI to monitor behaviour in real time, works even when offline, can isolate an infected device instantly, and can roll back ransomware damage. For us to take responsibility for your environment, every device must be protected – one unprotected machine puts the whole network at risk.

Why should we back up Microsoft 365 if it's in the cloud?

Microsoft's own terms recommend you back up your own data – they don't do it for you. Email, OneDrive and SharePoint can all be lost through human error, a departing staff member, sync errors or ransomware. Tanglin keeps regular backups of your Microsoft 365 data, so anything can be restored to any point in time.

How does project work get priced?

Day-to-day support is covered by the monthly fee. Larger projects – a server replacement, a SharePoint deployment, a migration – are quoted separately as a fixed price before any work begins. If a fixed-price project runs over, Tanglin absorbs the difference, not you. Any change to agreed scope is costed and approved with you in advance.

What's not included?

The monthly fee covers your desktops and laptops. Phone systems, scanners and printers are supported only for their network connection. Hardware itself, third-party software licences, and after-hours call-outs are charged separately and always discussed with you first.

All prices exclude GST and are indicative of our standard managed-service model. Your exact monthly figure depends on your device count and the options you choose – we'll confirm everything in a written proposal before you commit to anything.
