ATCOS Consulting gives small and medium businesses a senior IT leader — without the full-time salary. We set up and run the essentials: cloud and Microsoft 365, networks and firewalls, security, and compliance. And we give straight, vendor-neutral answers on AI, drawn from systems we operate ourselves.
Four services, in plain English. Every engagement is designed and directed by a veteran IT Director, delivered by a small bench of vetted senior specialists — never a tier-1 queue.
IT strategy, budget, vendor management, security posture, and compliance ownership — reporting to you like an executive, scaled to what a small firm actually needs.
Retainers from $1,500/mo Learn more →Your staff is already using AI. Find out where your data goes, which tools are safe, what compliance requires, and what to do next — in a fixed-fee, fixed-scope engagement.
Snapshot $2,500 · Full from $7,500 Learn more →User onboarding and offboarding done right, Microsoft 365 and Entra managed properly, servers, networks and firewalls maintained, backups verified — fully managed or co-managed.
From $125/user/mo Learn more →Owner-level answers on next IT steps, HIPAA and FTC Safeguards readiness, cyber-insurance questionnaires, and what to buy (or not buy) — before you spend.
Advisory $200/hr · fixed-fee packages Learn more →Most engagements follow the same path — start small, expand only if it earns its place.
No lock-in between stages — each one stands on its own.
Generic MSPs treat every business the same. Your industry has specific software, specific compliance, and specific failure modes — we work in them daily.
Clio ecosystem, confidentiality-safe AI policy, cyber-insurance readiness, and uptime measured in billable hours. We migrate and manage firms on Microsoft 365 + cloud practice management.
IT for law firms →HIPAA Security Rule readiness — MFA, encryption, risk analysis, AI-tool risk assessment — plus multi-location networking that keeps every operatory and exam room online.
IT for practices →The FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS WISP apply to every tax preparer, at any size. We build the written program, implement the controls, and keep you running through filing season.
IT for CPA firms →ATCOS retainers start at $1,500/month for advisory engagements and range to $5,000+/month for embedded, multi-site leadership. Market rates for fractional IT leadership run $5,000–$15,000/month — either way, a fraction of the $160,000+ fully-loaded cost of hiring a full-time IT Director.
A fixed-fee engagement that inventories the AI tools your staff already use, maps where your client data flows, checks each vendor's confidentiality and BAA posture, audits your Microsoft 365 security baseline, and delivers a prioritized roadmap with rough budget. Snapshot tier: $2,500, one week. Full tier: from $7,500 with staff AI policy and training.
Only if you want that. Co-managed mode keeps your existing IT and adds a senior layer above it — strategy, compliance, escalations, and second opinions. Many engagements start as a second-opinion audit of the current setup.
Industry pricing runs $100–$250 per user per month depending on compliance requirements and coverage level. ATCOS managed IT starts at $125/user/month; co-managed escalation support starts at $750/month. Details on the pricing page.
Everywhere — ATCOS is remote-first by design and already manages business infrastructure across multiple countries. Microsoft 365, networking, servers, and compliance are delivered remotely with better response times than a truck roll; meetings happen on Teams or Zoom, and on-site hands are arranged per engagement when physical work requires it.
