Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do you work with professional services firms specifically or is this a general MSP page?
Affiliated supports a number of organizations classified as professional services. We work with multiple companies in each of these spaces: medical billing companies, design firms, financial services companies, software development firms and engineering firms.
What size firm is this built for?
Firms with roughly 50 to 500 users, typically with one to three internal IT staff or none at all.
Can you help us respond to client security questionnaires and cyber insurance applications?
Yes. Compliance and audit readiness includes documentation, evidence trails, and structured processes built for audits, regulatory reviews, and insurance renewals.
What compliance frameworks do you actually support?
Affiliated holds SOC 2 Type II certification and supports SOC 2, HIPAA, FTC, NIST/CMMC, and PCI-DSS requirements, plus CMMC Level 1 for defense supply chain contractors. Professional obligations such as state bar confidentiality duties and AICPA requirements remain the firm's responsibility, and we support the technical controls behind them.
We already have internal IT. Do you replace them?
No. Co-managed IT is designed to extend an internal team, cover after-hours and vacation gaps, and add security and project engineering depth.
How fast do you respond when a partner cannot work?
Support is 24/7 with direct-to-engineer access and a company-reported average response time of 8 minutes and 42 seconds.
What happens in the first 30 to 90 days?
Discovery call, assessment of the current environment, then a managed or co-managed plan aligned to business goals.
Can you help us adopt AI without putting client-confidential material at risk?
Yes. Aligned AI provides a governance framework covering acceptable use, data protection, and alignment with business goals as firms adopt AI tools.
How is pricing structured?
Most organizations invest in the range of $130 to $165 per user per month for fully managed IT, depending on security stack, compliance scope, and SLA requirements. Co managed support is usually lower per user because responsibilities are shared. We provide a fixed, written quote after a brief assessment.
Do you carry credentials or recognition we can show our partners or clients?
SOC 2 Type II certification, CRN MSP 500 and MSP 150 Elite recognition, two-time Microsoft Regional Partner of the Year, and a Dell Technologies Leadership Award.
