QSS Stack

The Managed Security Stack

$90 per endpoint per month. At 200 endpoints that is $18,000 per month. At 1000 that is $90,000 per month, plus $25,000 per year for the required penetration test (minimum, billed annually). Stack-only commercial rate is $70 per endpoint per month. Certified 501(c)(3) nonprofits may request $80 / $60 with a determination letter. Medical offices pay $90. For CONUS organizations, 200–1000 endpoints — utilities, electric cooperatives, hospitals, medical offices, food and process plants, county/city IT, defense/CMMC, and nonprofits. Shield Engineers run the program; AI is how they work.

Complete (w/SOC) Standard Package

Full-scale managed technology operations representing the security stack.

Capability First

A Complete Stack, Sold Per Endpoint

$90 per endpoint per month. At 200 endpoints that is $18,000 per month. At 1000 that is $90,000 per month, plus $25,000 per year for the required penetration test (minimum, billed annually). Stack-only commercial rate is $70 per endpoint per month. The tools are the body. Shield Engineers run the program; AI is how they work. They work on top of allowlisting, ringfencing, and elevation; prevention, EDR, and rollback; DNS-layer protection; email threat, spam, and phishing defense; awareness training, phishing simulations, and dark-web watch; monthly vulnerability scans; and managed SOC on Stack + SOC. Quantity is 200–1000 endpoints. Above 1000, request an enterprise quote.

Stack + SOC

$90 per endpoint per month. At 200 endpoints that is $18,000 per month. At 1000 that is $90,000 per month, plus $25,000 per year for the required penetration test (minimum, billed annually).

Stack-only commercial rate is $70 per endpoint per month. CMMC consulting is $2,500 per month for up to 10 hours*. Hours reset every month.

* Hours reset every month.

Certified 501(c)(3) nonprofits may request Stack + SOC at $80 per endpoint per month ($60 stack). A current IRS determination letter is required. Medical offices pay $90.

Required with Stack and Stack + SOC. Billed once a year, not in the monthly per-endpoint price. Scope can increase for OT or larger estates. Led on the QSS side by Will Burke IV.

Separate from the MSP

The team that installs and tickets your network should not be the only ones judging whether it is safe. Independent Shield Engineers watch the stack. Quantum Shield Secure is separate from the MSP.

What is in the $70 stack

Allowlisting, ringfencing, and elevation; prevention, EDR, and rollback; DNS-layer protection; email threat, spam, and phishing defense; awareness training, phishing simulations, and dark-web watch; and monthly vulnerability scans. The yearly pen test is not in this $70.

Required yearly pen test

Yearly penetration test — $25,000 minimum, required, billed annually. Led on the QSS side by Will Burke IV. Required with Stack and Stack + SOC. Scope can increase for OT or larger estates.

When you want SOC

Managed SOC is a $20 add-on. Stack + SOC is $90 per endpoint per month. CMMC hours are an optional $2,500 block. Above 1000 endpoints, request an enterprise quote.

How to order

$90 per endpoint per month. At 200 endpoints that is $18,000 per month. At 1000 that is $90,000 per month, plus $25,000 per year for the required penetration test (minimum, billed annually). Standard Package is $70. Complete (w/SOC) is $90. Adjust quantity between 200 and 1000 on the quote form. Submitting stores the request — this page does not take a card charge.

In the monthly stack

Allowlisting, ringfencing, and elevationOnly approved software runs. Ringfencing limits what allowed apps can do. Elevation is granted when a task needs it.
Prevention, EDR, and rollbackStop attacks on the endpoint, detect and respond when something gets through, and roll back ransomware changes.
DNS-layer protectionBlock malicious domains at DNS. DNS only.
Email threat, spam, and phishing defenseStop email threats, spam, and phishing before they reach the inbox.
Awareness training, phishing simulations, and dark-web watchTrain the workforce, run phishing simulations, and watch the dark web for exposed credentials.
Monthly vulnerability scansMonthly scans to find what needs patching.

Yearly penetration test — $25,000 minimum, required, billed annually. Led on the QSS side by Will Burke IV.

Required with Stack and Stack + SOC. Billed once a year, not in the monthly per-endpoint price. Scope can increase for OT or larger estates.

Tools Are the Body · Shield Engineers Run the Program

Shield Engineers Run the Program. The Tools Are the Body.

Shield Engineers run the program; AI is how they work. They are the Quantum Shield team that runs the stack. The tools are the body: allowlisting, ringfencing, and elevation; prevention, EDR, and rollback; DNS-layer protection; email threat, spam, and phishing defense; awareness training, phishing simulations, and dark-web watch; monthly vulnerability scans; and managed SOC on Stack + SOC. A yearly penetration test sits on top of Stack and Stack + SOC — $25,000 minimum, required, billed annually, led on the QSS side by Will Burke IV. Proof is William Burke IV (CISO — cyber and pen test) and Terry L. Stockholm (FSO — CMMC). Leadership is Mark A. Putiyon, President, and Sebastian P. Paliath, CEO.

Work across the body

Shield Engineers read allowlisting, endpoint, DNS, email, scan, and — on Stack + SOC — SIEM signals as one event, not three tickets.

Prioritize

They use AI on top of the tools to rank what needs a person today, so a 200–1000 endpoint shop is not drowning in console noise.

Explain

Shield Engineers write what happened and what to do next so plant and IT staff are not decoding console jargon alone.

Keep it one program

Shield Engineers keep those features pointed at the same job.

CONUS · 200–1000 endpoints

Who This Is For

The managed stack is for CONUS organizations running 200–1000 endpoints: utilities, electric cooperatives, hospitals, medical offices, food and process plants, county/city IT, defense/CMMC, and nonprofits. Above 1000 endpoints is enterprise: request a quote.

Utilities

Operators that run OT and IT together and need one managed stack, not a pile of consoles.

Electric cooperatives

Lean IT teams that need a complete stack, not a menu of tools to assemble.

Hospitals

Hospital clinical and administrative endpoints that cannot wait on a custom build.

Medical offices

Clinics and practices that need the same stack as a hospital, sized to 200–1000 endpoints.

Food and process plants

Plants that run production systems beside corporate IT and cannot assemble the stack themselves.

County / city IT

Local government shops that need a complete managed stack for public-sector endpoints.

Defense / CMMC

Defense contractors and CMMC-bound shops that want the stack and optional CMMC hours on the same order.

Nonprofits

Mission-driven organizations that need a complete stack without building a security team first.
