How does IT as a Subscription differ from traditional IT support?

Traditional IT support (break-fix) charges you only when something breaks — meaning costs are unpredictable and there is no proactive management. IT as a Subscription from G6 Technology replaces that model with a fixed monthly fee that covers proactive monitoring, preventative maintenance, security, and helpdesk support 24/7. You always know exactly what you'll pay, and G6 fixes issues before they impact your business.

Does G6 IT as a Subscription include cybersecurity?

Yes — cybersecurity is built into every G6 IT as a Subscription plan from day one. Unlike most MSPs that charge extra for security, G6 includes endpoint protection, 24/7 SOC monitoring, email security, threat detection and response, and Microsoft Defender management in the subscription. You never have to choose between IT support and security — G6 delivers both.

Who is G6 IT as a Subscription designed for?

G6 IT as a Subscription is designed for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) with 10 to 500 employees that want enterprise-grade IT without the cost of an in-house IT team. It is especially valuable for professional services firms, healthcare providers, legal practices, financial services companies, non-profits, and US government contractors who need reliable IT, strong security, and compliance support.

What is included in G6's IT as a Subscription?

G6 IT as a Subscription includes: (1) 24/7 managed helpdesk with real engineers — not bots; (2) built-in cybersecurity with endpoint protection and SOC monitoring; (3) Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Azure management; (4) device and endpoint management for laptops, desktops, and mobile; (5) compliance support for HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CMMC; (6) data backup and recovery; (7) proactive patch management and monitoring; and (8) quarterly business reviews and reporting.

How much does G6 IT as a Subscription cost?

G6 IT as a Subscription is priced per user per month. The exact cost depends on your team size, the plan you select (Essentials, Professional, or Enterprise), and any specific compliance requirements. Contact G6 Technology at +1 703.348.4466 or info@g6technologies.com for a custom quote.

Frequently Asked

Common questions
answered.

What exactly is IT as a Subscription?

IT as a Subscription is G6 Technology' all-in-one managed IT service. For one predictable monthly price per user, your business gets complete IT management — 24/7 helpdesk, endpoint management, built-in cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 support, cloud management, and strategic advisory. No surprise bills. No hidden fees. No break-fix invoices.

Who is this service designed for?

G6 IT as a Subscription is built for small and mid-sized businesses with 10 to 250 employees. It's particularly well-suited for professional services firms, healthcare practices, legal offices, financial services companies, and government contractors — businesses that need enterprise-grade IT but don't want the overhead of a full in-house IT team.

Is cybersecurity really included — not an add-on?

Yes. Unlike most MSPs that treat security as a premium upsell, G6 includes endpoint protection, managed antivirus, email security, and firewall management in every plan. Professional and Enterprise plans also include 24/7 SOC monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. Security isn't optional when you're with G6.

Do we need to sign a long-term contract?

We offer flexible terms. Most clients start with a 12-month agreement, which lets us properly onboard your environment and build a long-term technology roadmap. We also offer month-to-month options for businesses that prefer flexibility. Contact us and we'll find a structure that works for your situation.

We already have an IT person — do we still need this?

Absolutely. Many of our clients have an internal IT person or IT manager who partners with G6. Your internal IT resource gets to focus on strategic projects and user relationships — while G6 handles the round-the-clock monitoring, security operations, helpdesk volume, patch management, and compliance. It's a force multiplier, not a replacement.

How is G6 different from other MSPs?

Three key differences: (1) Security is built in, not bolted on — enterprise-grade cybersecurity is integrated with every managed IT plan, from day one. (2) We're Microsoft specialists — our entire stack is built on Microsoft 365, Defender, Azure, and Intune, so you maximise the investment you've already made. (3) We're local and personal — based in nationwide, with real engineers who know your business, not a faceless offshore ticketing queue.
