[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Cost-effective cybersecurity services do not need to come with a high price tag.<\/strong> For years, I have said that in cybersecurity consulting, you get what you pay for. Many traditional cybersecurity vendors offer services at a low cost, but their service quality is often lacking which can put your organization at risk. On the other hand, legacy accounting firms typically provide high-quality services\u2014at a steep cost. But what if you did not have to choose between price and quality?[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]CyberAssurance is built differently.<\/strong> We believe organizations deserve world-class cybersecurity services without unnecessary expenses. Our approach is built on transparency, efficiency, and expert-level cybersecurity consulting, ensuring that you receive cost-effective cybersecurity solutions without sacrificing quality. We achieve this by maintaining a team of highly skilled cybersecurity experts, leveraging advanced technologies, and following cybersecurity best practices to provide comprehensive and resilient cybersecurity solutions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Legacy Business Model: The High Cost of Overhead<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]Legacy accounting firms operate with significant overhead. Their structure is built on multiple layers of high-cost professionals:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]Equity partners:<\/strong> Bill clients $500\u2013$600+ per hour.
\nIncome partners:<\/strong> Similar rates to equity partners.
\nManagers and directors: Start at $300 per hour, often exceeding $500.
\nSenior associates:<\/strong> Bill between $180\u2013$300+ per hour.
\nJunior associates:<\/strong> Typically start at $150 per hour.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]Every engagement involves at least an income partner and a manager or director, driving up costs before meaningful work begins. You are also paying for large back-office administrative teams and high operating costs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Hidden Costs in Cybersecurity<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]Beyond high hourly rates, legacy accounting firms introduce hidden costs in cybersecurity. These firms disregard additional fees because the fees are not recognized as revenue on their books. While these fees do not count as revenue for the firm\u2019s top line, the fees significantly increase the client\u2019s final bill.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Travel Time Charges<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Some firms bill full rates for round-trip travel, while others charge full rates one way\u2014either way, you are paying for non-productive time at premium hourly rates.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Inflated Travel Expenses<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]While travel costs are usually passed through, consultants often book more expensive flights, rental cars, and accommodations. Per diem meal allowances can total $100+ per day, further increasing the overall costs paid by the client.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Technology Fees<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Many legacy accounting firms add a mandatory \u201ctech fee\u201d that starts at 5% of total consulting fees. While legacy accounting firms justify the tech fee as a \u201ctransparent\u201d way to cover their investments in technology to keep client data secure, clients often view this as an unnecessary surcharge. Worse yet, these fees do not count as consulting revenue, meaning firms treat them like a tax, charging clients without appreciating the fact that they increased the client\u2019s overall bill.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
