Most 25–75 employee law and accounting firms invest between $200 and $300 per user per month for security-focused managed IT services. For a typical firm, that equals $8,000 to $15,000 per month, depending on user count and security requirements. Firms operating in regulated environments—handling client financial data, payment information, or protected records—tend to choose the higher tier because stronger security controls and compliance alignment reduce operational and regulatory risk. The real difference in pricing comes down to how much proactive protection, monitoring, and compliance alignment your firm requires.

Core Security – $200 Per User

Core Security is designed for regulated firms that require strong baseline cybersecurity, structured support, and continuous monitoring.

Included in Core Security:

  • Kaseya 365 security stack
  • Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
  • Managed antivirus
  • 24/7 Cybersecurity Operations Monitoring
  • 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) Threat Monitoring & Response
  • 24/7 Technical Support & Service Desk
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforcement
  • Patch management and vulnerability remediation
  • Quarterly network assessments
  • Datto SaaS Backup (Microsoft 365 backup)
  • IT Glue / My Glue technical documentation platform
  • Continuous Endpoint Monitoring with Automated System Management

This tier provides continuous monitoring, identity enforcement, and structured system management designed to reduce ransomware risk, unauthorized access, and operational downtime.

Not Included in Core Security:

  • Network penetration testing
  • Advanced vulnerability scanning beyond patching
  • Formal compliance documentation drafting
  • Policy creation or regulatory advisory
  • External third-party security assessments
  • Major remediation projects outside contract scope

Formal compliance documentation and audit preparation services are available separately as professional services.

Advanced Security & Compliance – $300 Per User

Advanced Security & Compliance is built for firms with higher regulatory exposure, stricter cyber insurance requirements, or frequent audit scrutiny.

Includes Everything in Core Security, PLUS:

  • ThreatLocker application control
  • DNS filtering
  • Quarterly automated network penetration testing
  • Quarterly vulnerability scanning
  • Enhanced SOC escalation procedures
  • Compliance-aligned reporting summaries
  • Executive-level quarterly security reporting

Quarterly penetration testing and vulnerability scans are automated and amortized into Tier 2 pricing, providing proactive risk discovery without unpredictable project costs.

This tier is designed to reduce attack surface, identify security gaps early, and strengthen compliance alignment.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BDR) – Required

An approved Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution is required for all managed security clients.

Security monitoring alone is not sufficient without recoverability. In regulated industries, firms must demonstrate the ability to restore operations quickly in the event of ransomware, system failure, or data corruption.

BDR pricing varies based on:

  • Server count
  • Data volume
  • Recovery time objectives (RTO)
  • Replication requirements

Security without recoverability is incomplete.

Real Client Example

A 42-employee law firm reduced unplanned IT downtime and security incidents by 37% within six months after moving to a security-first managed IT model that included enforced MFA, Azure identity controls, structured monitoring, and a defined recovery strategy. The firm improved operational stability while strengthening alignment with data protection and compliance requirements.

Who We’re Best For

AzureCrew works best with 25–75 employee law, accounting, healthcare, and financial firms operating in regulated environments across Canada and the United States. Our security-first managed IT model is designed for organizations that require structured compliance alignment, strong identity controls, rapid incident response, and verified business continuity through enforced BDR planning.

Final Takeaway

For 25–75 employee law and accounting firms, managed IT services typically range between $200 and $300 per user per month, depending on the level of proactive security and compliance alignment required. Lower pricing often excludes key protections regulated firms ultimately need.

The right MSP should clearly define what is included, what is excluded, and how risk is reduced every single day—not just quote a number.
