Common questions
What businesses typically ask before a first call.
What kinds of engagements do you take on?
Ongoing managed services for day-to-day IT and security operations, and defined-scope projects for implementations, assessments, and platform buildouts. Most clients start with a scoped project and roll into managed coverage.
How do you price?
Managed services are priced per-seat or per-endpoint monthly. Projects are scoped and quoted up front, usually fixed-price for defined deliverables and time-and-materials for advisory. We share a rate sheet on request during the assessment call.
What is your response time?
Response time is defined per engagement and written into the statement of work. Most managed clients get a same-business-day response for standard issues and a coordinated response inside two hours for incidents. Federal engagements follow the response terms of the contract vehicle.
Do you work with federal and public sector clients?
Yes. Yawstone Holdings LLC is a SAM.gov registered Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB). Cleared personnel on team, framework alignment across NIST 800-53/171, FISMA, RMF, CMMC, and Section 508. See Federal Capability for the full snapshot.
What size businesses do you work with?
Sized for small and mid-sized businesses, typically 10 to 250 seats. We also support larger organizations on scoped projects (ServiceNow implementations and security advisory in particular) that do not require a full enterprise consulting engagement.
