## Pricing and Plans

**Q: How much does managed IT cost in Las Vegas?**
A: Managed IT in Las Vegas typically ranges from $50 to $150 per user per month, depending on tier (Managed IT vs Managed Security), compliance scope (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NGCB, SOC 2), and whether the bundle includes 24/7 SOC monitoring, managed firewall, and security awareness training. CMIT Solutions of Las Vegas provides a written quote within one business day. No per-ticket charges. No surprise bills.

**Q: Does CMIT Solutions of Las Vegas charge per ticket?**
A: No. Managed IT and Managed Security engagements are flat per-user-per-month. We do not charge per ticket, per password reset, per workstation reboot, or per after-hours call. On-demand block hours are available for clients not ready for a monthly relationship.

**Q: Do I have to sign a long-term contract?**
A: Standard agreements are 12-month terms with month-to-month renewal. We do not require multi-year lockins. Multi-year discounts are available on request. Termination requires 30 days’ written notice.

**Q: What’s the cheapest way to start with CMIT Solutions of Las Vegas?**
A: For businesses not yet ready for a monthly engagement, we offer pre-purchased block hours of remote or onsite support at a discounted rate. For most growing businesses, the Managed IT Essentials tier is the lowest-cost path to a flat monthly fee with predictable budgeting.

**Q: Is the first consultation free?**
A: Yes. We provide a free discovery call and written assessment of your current IT and cybersecurity posture, including gap analysis and a written recommendation. No obligation.

## Services

**Q: What is a managed service provider (MSP)?**
A: A managed service provider (MSP) takes operational responsibility for IT — help desk, monitoring, patching, cybersecurity, backup, vendor management, and strategic planning — under a flat monthly fee. Instead of paying per incident, you pay a predictable per-user-per-month price and the MSP is incentivized to prevent problems, not bill for them. A modern MSP includes 24/7 security monitoring, endpoint detection and response, security awareness training, and compliance support.

**Q: Why hire a Las Vegas MSP instead of an in-house IT person?**
A: A Las Vegas MSP gives you a full IT and security team — help desk, network engineer, cybersecurity analyst, vCIO — for roughly the cost of one mid-level IT hire. You get 24/7 coverage, multi-vendor expertise, redundancy when one technician is out, and immediate access to enterprise tools. For businesses under 75 employees, MSP is almost always more cost-effective than a single in-house IT generalist.

**Q: What services does CMIT Solutions of Las Vegas offer?**
A: Managed IT support, cybersecurity, 24/7 SOC and managed detection and response, compliance services (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NGCB, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, GLBA), data backup and disaster recovery, cloud services (Microsoft 365, Azure), unified communications and VoIP, fractional vCIO, IT project services (office moves, network refreshes, cloud migrations), and co-managed IT for businesses with an internal IT lead.

**Q: Do you provide 24/7 IT support in Las Vegas?**
A: Yes. The Managed Security tier and Co-Managed tier include 24/7 SOC monitoring with automated containment and analyst follow-up. After-hours help desk is available as scoped in the engagement.

**Q: Do you sell and manage Microsoft 365 in Las Vegas?**
A: Yes. CMIT is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partner. We bill Microsoft 365 licenses monthly, swap and add licenses mid-month, and escalate tenant-level issues directly to Microsoft. We support Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, Microsoft 365 Apps, and Microsoft 365 Copilot rollouts.

**Q: Can you migrate us to Microsoft 365 or Azure?**
A: Yes. Microsoft 365 tenant provisioning and migration is a core service. We handle email migration, MFA enforcement, conditional access, DKIM/DMARC/SPF setup, OneDrive/SharePoint configuration, Teams rollout, and Azure infrastructure provisioning.

## Cybersecurity

**Q: What cybersecurity services do you provide in Las Vegas?**
A: Endpoint protection (next-gen AV plus EDR), managed firewall, 24/7 SOC monitoring, managed detection and response (MDR), email security gateway, identity and access management, MFA enforcement, dark web monitoring, security awareness training and phishing simulations, vulnerability scanning, and incident response retainer.

**Q: Do you offer a SOC or MDR service in Las Vegas?**
A: Yes. Our Managed Security tier includes 24/7 SOC monitoring with managed detection and response — endpoint, firewall, and identity telemetry feeding a security operations center with analyst-led investigation of alerts.

**Q: What happens if we get ransomware?**
A: Clients on the Managed Security tier get 24/7 automated containment via EDR rollback, immediate analyst engagement, and incident response coordination. Immutable cloud backups allow full data recovery without paying ransom. We also offer incident response retainers for non-Managed clients so you’re not negotiating in a crisis.

**Q: Do you provide security awareness training?**
A: Yes. Phishing simulations, training modules, and reporting are included in the Managed Security tier. We use industry-leading platforms (KnowBe4 or Hoxhunt depending on the engagement).

## Compliance

**Q: Are you HIPAA compliant?**
A: CMIT Solutions of Las Vegas provides HIPAA-aligned IT services and signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for any client handling PHI. We deploy Microsoft 365 Business Premium as the baseline for users with PHI access, configure HIPAA-required technical safeguards (encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, automatic logoff, integrity controls), and provide annual NIST 800-66-aligned Security Risk Analyses. We do not perform audits or issue certifications — we provide the controls and documentation needed to pass third-party audit.

**Q: Do you sign a BAA?**
A: Yes. We sign a Business Associate Agreement on day one for any client with PHI access. We also document BAA coverage for downstream vendors (EHR, telehealth, secure messaging, backup) we recommend.

**Q: Do you handle NGCB compliance for Las Vegas casinos and sportsbooks?**
A: Yes. We support Nevada Gaming Control Board technology standards for Las Vegas casinos, sportsbooks, racebooks, and hospitality operators. We’ve helped Las Vegas sportsbooks achieve NGCB-aligned launches in under 90 days.

**Q: Do you support PCI-DSS for Las Vegas retail businesses?**
A: Yes. We support PCI-DSS v4.0 compliance including cardholder data environment scoping, network segmentation, POS device management, payment data flow documentation, and required quarterly scans.

**Q: Can you help us achieve SOC 2 compliance?**
A: Yes. We support SOC 2 Type I and Type II readiness — Trust Services Criteria control implementation, evidence collection, vendor risk management, and audit coordination. We do not issue the SOC 2 report (that’s the auditor’s role) — we make sure you’re ready to pass.

**Q: Do you help with CMMC for defense contractors?**
A: Yes. We support CMMC 2.0 Levels 1 and 2 readiness for DoD contractors. We do not perform the assessment itself (that’s the C3PAO’s role) — we provide the IT and security controls to pass.

## Comparisons and Switching

**Q: How is CMIT Solutions of Las Vegas different from a national MSP?**
A: We are locally owned and operated. Account decisions, technicians, and vCIOs are based in the Las Vegas valley — not an overseas call center, not a regional dispatch queue. We’re backed by the CMIT Solutions national network for tools, vendor pricing, and bench depth, but the people you talk to are local.

**Q: What if we already have an MSP and want to switch?**
A: We handle the transition. Free discovery call, written transition plan, parallel-run period if needed, coordinated handover of credentials and documentation. We’ve onboarded Las Vegas clients from larger MSPs and from break-fix shops. Typical onboarding is 2–4 weeks for Managed IT and 4–8 weeks for full Managed Security including compliance scoping.

**Q: What happens to our data and credentials if we ever leave CMIT Solutions of Las Vegas?**
A: You walk away with full documentation — passwords, network diagrams, asset inventory, vendor contacts, change history, and access to any accounts we provisioned on your behalf. No charge. No held-hostage credentials. The client owns their stack on day one.

**Q: Why should we choose CMIT over a smaller local Las Vegas IT shop?**
A: We combine local accountability (same-zip-code ownership, named local technicians) with national-network capabilities (vendor pricing, shared playbooks, 24/7 NOC and SOC resources from the 250-office CMIT system). A small local shop can match the first half but rarely the second. For regulated industries — healthcare, gaming, legal, accounting — the documented compliance playbooks alone are typically the deciding factor.
