Who it's for
Built for high-assurance, always-on organizations
MSP Elite serves leaders who expect Sophos MDR-backed 24/7 security monitoring, compliance-readiness support, and a named team that thinks ahead of audits, incidents, and growth milestones.
Ideal for
- Organizations with elevated security posture and breach-averse leadership
- Compliance-driven teams (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2) needing ready evidence
- 24/7 operations that expect MDR-backed response, not best-effort help desk
- Executives who want a dedicated technical account manager and roadmap cadence
- Environments that rely on resilient backups and disaster recovery validation
- Companies wanting predictable IT spend with maximum coverage baked in
Consider other plans if
Choose MSP Pro when:
- •Security and compliance needs are lighter and do not require Sophos MDR-backed 24/7 monitoring
- •Budget favors full-service support without MDR, Harmony email, or Duo baked in
- •A dedicated technical account manager is nice-to-have rather than mandatory
Choose MSP Select when:
- •You maintain internal IT staff and only need the RMM + XDR tool stack
- •Support is purchased ad hoc via retainers or hourly services
- •Desire to stay month-to-month with zero bundled labor
