# Frequently Asked Questions

We answer your questions about our services, pricing structure, contract terms, transition and security responsibilities.

Direct answers to the questions buyers actually ask when evaluating a managed services provider — pricing structure, contract terms, transition, security posture, certification scope, and what happens when the relationship ends.

The FAQ is written for evaluators rather than for search engines. Where a figure is verified it is stated precisely; where it is not, the answer says so rather than approximating. That includes the questions providers usually avoid: what the minimum term is and why, what is excluded from the ISO certification scope, and whether an Essential Eight maturity position is self-assessed or independently assessed.

Answers cover the commercial model, contract structure, onboarding and transition-in, service scope across the emPOWER portfolio, security and compliance posture, and the practical mechanics of switching provider.

For terminology rather than answers, the MSP/MSSP glossary in this section defines the vocabulary buyers encounter during evaluation. For structured comparisons between delivery models, see the comparison and decision guides.
