Frequently Asked Questions
This tool gives a directional, ballpark range based on San Diego-area managed IT pricing benchmarks and the number of users, service tier, and industry you select. It's a useful starting point for budgeting, but your actual quote will depend on a real assessment of your network, existing hardware, software licensing, and compliance scope. Mytek Pros always follows up a tool estimate with a free, no-obligation network evaluation before issuing a formal proposal.
Regulated industries such as healthcare (HIPAA), financial services, and government contractors (CMMC, NIST, SOX) require additional compliance documentation, stricter access controls, audit support, and security monitoring layered on top of standard managed IT. Multifamily and affordable housing developers often have lighter but still meaningful compliance and resident-data considerations. These requirements take extra engineering and administrative time, which is reflected in the industry multiplier.
Basic Monitoring covers remote monitoring, patching, and alerting without a full helpdesk. Full Managed IT (Standard) adds unlimited helpdesk support, proactive maintenance, vendor management, and vCIO strategic guidance. Managed IT + Security (Premium) layers on managed detection and response (MDR), advanced endpoint security, and compliance management support (HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, ISO, NIST, SOX as applicable) for organizations with regulatory or cyber-insurance requirements.
The core estimate is priced per employee/user per month, which is how most MSP contracts are structured and is standard in the San Diego market. The tool also shows an estimated device count (roughly 1.5-2x your headcount) for reference, since advanced per-endpoint security add-ons (like MDR) are sometimes priced per device rather than per user. Your final quote will itemize exactly which devices and servers are covered.
Yes. Supporting more than one physical location typically adds network complexity (additional firewalls, site-to-site connectivity, on-site visits), so the tool adds a flat surcharge per additional location beyond your first. For multi-building affordable housing or multifamily communities, Mytek Pros can also scope shared infrastructure like property-wide WiFi, access control, and surveillance separately from the managed IT estimate shown here.
