Frequently asked questions
What is an MSP
An MSP provides ongoing IT management and support under a defined scope, typically priced per user or per device, with agreed service levels and reporting.
How do I compare MSP pricing fairly
Make sure the “seat” definition is the same across providers, then compare coverage hours, inclusions, exclusions, and what work is classified as projects.
Do all MSPs provide onsite support in Sydney
Not always. Some providers are remote-first and charge onsite separately. Confirm onsite availability, response time expectations, and whether visits are included or scheduled.
What should be in an SLA
At minimum, response targets by priority, escalation steps, support hours, and a clear definition of what is in scope. Ask how SLA performance is measured and reported.
What security baseline should an MSP support
A practical baseline includes identity controls, patching, endpoint protection, backups, and a clear incident response process. For Australian organisations, Essential Eight guidance is a useful reference point.
Should onboarding be included in the monthly fee
Usually onboarding is a once-off project with deliverables to establish a stable baseline. Treat it as scoped work with a clear plan, timeline, and handover artefacts.
