What firewall management costs.
per site, per month
Monitoring and routine rule changes are part of the per-location network add-on. Advanced configuration and site-to-site VPN are quoted per project, because the work varies too much to publish a number honestly.
What moves the price
Four things, and none of them is a discovery call.
A worked example
Eight people, one location. The arithmetic in full, because a range is not a price.
Questions about the price
How much does managed firewall cost per month?
There is no separate firewall fee. Monitoring, firmware and routine rule changes are part of the per-location network add-on. Advanced work is quoted per project.
Why will you not publish a price for advanced firewall configuration?
Because it would be a made-up number. The work depends entirely on what is in the current policy, and we cannot know that until we look. We would rather quote it after twenty minutes of reading your rules than publish a figure we then have to walk back.
Can you take over a firewall somebody else configured?
Yes, and that is the normal case. The first thing we do is document what is actually in there, which frequently turns up rules nobody can account for.
Do you do penetration testing or compliance work?
No. That is specialist work with a specific scope and a report attached, and it is not what a flat per-seat plan buys. If you need it, say so and we will tell you what to look for rather than pretending we can do it.
