TARBH TECH | Managed IT & Security

We don't just manage IT.
We own the outcome.

Fixed-price managed IT and security for businesses that want transparency, not excuses.

The Challenge

Sound familiar?

Most businesses put up with IT that does not work for them. These are the patterns we hear every week.

Your IT provider disappears when things break

You call, you wait, you chase. Reactive-only support means problems fester while you are stuck in a ticket queue. Your business keeps moving — your IT provider does not.

You have no idea what you're paying for

Opaque pricing, vague scope, and surprise invoices. You get a monthly bill but no clarity on what is included, what is extra, or whether you are getting value for money.

Security is an afterthought, bolted on after the breach

No proactive baseline, no hardening, no monitoring until something goes wrong. You find out your defences are weak only after they have already been breached.

Our Answer

A different kind of MSP

We built Tarbh Tech around three principles that address these problems head on.

Engineered Baseline

Every client environment is engineered towards a 75%+ Microsoft Secure Score target. We deploy a comprehensive security baseline before we consider the engagement live.

True Ownership

We do not just monitor. We manage. Your IT operations are our responsibility, governed by clear SLAs and published metrics. When something breaks, we fix it. When something needs improving, we recommend it and make it happen. Accountability is built into every engagement.

Fixed Per-User Pricing

No surprises. Published pricing, published scope. You see exactly what's included before you pick up the phone. Every tier includes our security baseline as standard.

The Solution

Five tiers. One standard.

COSAINT (kuh-SAHNT) – from the Irish word for “protection”

Every tier includes our security baseline as standard. Pick the level of IT management that fits your business.

How we work

A three-stage operating model that builds security first, then keeps everything running and improving.

Step 1

Baseline

We deploy our engineered security baseline across your environment. Every device, every identity, every mailbox — engineered towards a 75%+ Secure Score target.

Step 2

Operate

We take full ownership of your IT operations. Helpdesk, monitoring, patching, user management — everything runs through our team. You focus on your business.

Step 3

Improve

Monthly reporting, quarterly reviews, and continuous improvement. We identify opportunities, recommend changes, and keep your environment ahead of threats.

What every client gets

Our security baseline is included in every tier. These are the foundations we deploy before anything else.

Microsoft Secure Score optimisation

Every tenant engineered towards a 75%+ Secure Score target, adapted to your environment. Continuous monitoring detects drift.

Endpoint protection on every device

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint deployed and managed across all workstations, laptops, and mobile devices.

Email threat protection

Ironscales email security with AI-powered phishing detection, impersonation protection, and automated remediation.

Identity and access management

Entra ID with conditional access policies and multi-factor authentication. Zero-trust principles applied from day one.

CIS baseline alignment

Every tenant configured against CIS Microsoft 365 benchmarks. Documented controls that satisfy auditors and cyber insurance providers.

Monthly security reporting

Automated monthly reports covering Secure Score trends, incidents, threat landscape, and recommendations for improvement.

Real results, real businesses

The work was of the highest standard. The team impressed from the very outset with their ideas, aptitude and diligent approach to tasks and projects. In terms of automation engineering, they ticked all the boxes and more and met every requirement asked of them. They also gave excellent contributions outside of their specific role and built up strong relationships with team members and other IT colleagues in the relatively short time they were here, with excellent contributions well beyond the brief. If I could persuade them that the weather here is as nice as Sydney, I'd have them back on the team in a second.

– David M., Senior IT Leader, Asset Management

A consistent high performer. They needed little direction on the most complicated architecture designs and deployment activities. Always focussed on the task at hand and communicated well at all levels. Would work with again without hesitation.

A unique talent: the ability to operate at almost any level within large and complex IT environments. Extremely capable and regularly called upon to span teams and levels within teams to construct large scale infrastructures and resolve problems within and between them. Also a very friendly, approachable team and ideal to work with. If I had the role to stretch those talents I would hire them tomorrow.

The numbers speak for themselves

What a single in-house IT hire costs a ~50 user Irish business versus a managed service team.

In-House IT Hire

Salary EUR 65,000 - 85,000
Employer PRSI (11.05%) ~EUR 8,000
Pension, benefits, training EUR 10,000 - 15,000
Total per year EUR 85,000 - 110,000

Single point of failure. Holiday cover, sick leave, and resignation risk not included.

Better value

Managed Service

EUR 51,000 - 69,000
from EUR 35/user/month for a ~50 user organisation
Full team coverage, no single point of failure
Security baseline included as standard
Scales with you: per user, predictable
No holiday cover, recruitment, or training costs

50-user organisations rarely keep expert sysadmins engaged long-term. A managed service gives you a team of specialists for roughly half the cost of a single hire.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes you different from other MSPs?
We publish our pricing, SLAs, and security metrics publicly. Every client gets an engineered security baseline as standard. We operate on a fixed per-user model with published scope. Most MSPs hide this information — we lead with it.
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. We handle everything from day one. Our onboarding process is designed for business owners and office managers, not IT professionals. You tell us what you need — we make it happen.
What if I'm locked into a contract with my current provider?
We can work with you to plan a smooth transition. Many clients start with a security assessment while their existing contract winds down. When you are ready, we handle the full migration.
How quickly can you onboard us?
Our standard onboarding framework covers approximately 90 days. The security baseline is typically deployed within the first two weeks, with full operational handover completed over the following weeks. Complex environments with legacy infrastructure, large endpoint fleets, or multi-site deployments may require a longer phased approach. Timelines are agreed during the discovery phase and documented in your onboarding plan.
What size companies do you work with?
We work with businesses from 10 to 250 users, primarily in Ireland and across Europe. Our sweet spot is 20-150 user organisations that have outgrown break-fix IT but are not large enough for a full internal IT team.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Our standard agreement is 12 months, which allows us to fully deploy the security baseline and establish operational rhythms. After that, agreements roll monthly. COSAINT Cyber starts at just 5 users with a 12-month term.
Does the per-user price cover everything?
The published per-user price covers everything listed in your chosen COSAINT tier, including all software licensing, support, and security tooling. Work outside the tier scope (such as one-off projects, on-site visits, hardware procurement, or custom integrations) is quoted and agreed separately before any charges apply. There are no surprise invoices.
