Pricing

Enterprise protection,
without the enterprise bill.

Most organizations assemble their security from a handful of separate products, each billed on its own terms. Here is what that costs at published rates, what we charge instead, and why running it as separate products costs you response time as well as money.

The Comparison

What a multi-vendor stack
costs to run.

Published list pricing for the most widely deployed enterprise tool in each category. Set your endpoint count and both columns recalculate.

endpoints

Drag or type. Both columns recalculate, including the log volume the SIEM would be billed for.

What this model assumes
  • Our side is an estimate band rather than a rate card. Most of it is the engineers and analysts who actually work your cases, and that costs the same per endpoint whatever your size, so the rate moves only a little as the deployment grows. You are paying for people rather than for licenses.
  • $184.99 per endpoint per year for EDR. Published list price of the most widely deployed enterprise endpoint platform (CrowdStrike Falcon Enterprise).
  • $32 per asset per year for vulnerability management. Midpoint of the $26 to $38 range commonly cited at enterprise scale (Tenable).
  • $24 per endpoint per year for separate patch tooling.
  • $84 per identity per year for identity threat detection, counting one identity per endpoint. Dedicated platforms are commonly quoted between $5 and $15 per identity per month.
  • 0.25GB per endpoint per day of log ingest at $1,200 per GB per day per year. Enterprise SIEM is usually quote only and commonly cited between $150 and $2,000 per GB per day (Splunk Enterprise Security); the one major platform that publishes a rate lists $4.30 per GB pay as you go (Microsoft Sentinel), which lands in the same region.
  • The analyst line is not modeled, because round the clock staffing does not scale linearly with endpoints. It is a real cost on the left and it is included on the right.

Negotiated enterprise pricing sits below list, sometimes well below. Tell us what you actually pay and we will compare against that instead of against these.

Our own figure excludes anything genuinely project shaped: IT infrastructure work, GRC engagements, dedicated single tenant hosting, and retention beyond our standard window. Those are quoted separately so they are never buried in a per endpoint rate.

These are not final pricing. Please contact us for an official quote.

Separate products cost you minutes, not just money.

Every product is another console. During an incident your responder authenticates to the EDR to see the process tree, the SIEM to correlate it, the identity tool to check the account, the vulnerability tool to find the way in, and the patch tool to close it. The average attacker needs 29 minutes to break out. Tool switching is not an inconvenience in that window, it is the window.

Why

Four reasons our number
is lower, none of them magic.

We are not undercutting the market by cutting detection. The savings are structural, and we would rather show you the structure than ask you to trust a discount.

We built the platform

Most providers our size license somebody else's agent and somebody else's SIEM, then add their margin on top of the vendor's. HVXM is one codebase we own, so nothing underneath us is charging rent.

Zemi does the first pass

The expensive part of a SOC is a round the clock tier one team sorting signal from noise. Zemi does that the moment an alert lands, so our people spend their hours on the cases that are real.

There is nothing to integrate

Connectors, log shipping, tuning and the consultant who understands the seams are where security budgets quietly disappear. One agent and one console means no seams and no project before you are covered.

No implementation fees, no analyst overhead

No onboarding project, no integration consultant, and no separate line for the people watching your alerts. Zemi takes the first pass and our engineers work the cases, both inside the rate rather than billed on top of it.

How We Quote

What moves the number,
and what does not.

So you can estimate before you speak to anyone, and so nothing in the quote is a surprise.

Moves the price

How many endpoints, and what kind. Servers and domain controllers carry more weight than workstations because they carry more risk and more work. How much you log and how long you keep it, since storage and retention are real costs. Larger environments get a slightly lower per endpoint rate, which is the only volume discount we run. IT infrastructure and GRC work is scoped separately, because it is genuinely project shaped.

Does not move the price

How noisy your month is. Alert volume, case count and response actions are not metered. A quiet month and a bad month cost you the same, which is the entire point of buying a managed service rather than hours. There is no onboarding fee, no implementation charge, and no incident response invoice arriving after a bad week.
