Patch Management Built for the Smallest Businesses
Big-firm security. Small-business pricing.
Most IT service providers are built for companies with 50, 100, or 500 endpoints. Their minimum contracts, onboarding fees, and per-endpoint pricing reflect it — and if you run a business with 3 computers or 15, you've probably been quoted more per machine than a company ten times your size.
Ground Level IT was built the opposite way. We focus exclusively on the businesses everyone else overlooks: sole proprietorships and the smallest of small businesses, with 1 to 20 endpoints.
Is Ground Level IT right for your business?
We're a strong fit if you are:
A sole proprietor — a consultant, trade person, freelancer, or independent professional whose computer is the business
A family business or micro-company with a handful of workstations and no IT staff (or an "IT person" who is really just whoever knows the most about computers)
A professional services firm — accounting, legal, real estate, insurance, design — where client data confidentiality matters and downtime means missed deadlines
A remote-first business with team members working from their own locations, all of whom need their machines kept current and secure
Running between 1 and 20 endpoints on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux
What you get at this size that you won't find elsewhere:
No minimum contract size. 1 endpoint or 20 - you pay per endpoint, month to month or annually, and nothing else.
A fixed, published price. $20/month per endpoint for our Fundamental Patching tier, $40 for company-wide custom patch windows, $60 for per-endpoint control. Listed plainly on our pricing pages - no "contact us for pricing," no surprise onboarding / setup fees.
Enterprise-grade tooling, scaled down to fit. We use the same professional patching platform used by large organizations — SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 certified, covering 600+ applications — but our scope is deliberately narrow: patching and vulnerability remediation, done extremely well, at a price a one-person business can justify.
Scope discipline. We don't sell you a bundle of services you don't need. If you just need your machines patched and vulnerabilities closed - the single highest-value IT investment a tiny business can make - that's exactly what we do, and exactly what you pay for.
Why patching matters more when you're small
A 500-person company can absorb a ransomware event; it hurts, but they have cyber insurance, IT staff, and MSP backing them up. A one-person business often cannot. When your laptop is your invoicing system, your CRM, and your books, keeping it secure isn't an IT expense - it's protecting the business itself.
