Do you support Google Workspace?
Not yet — Microsoft 365 is supported today. Google Workspace integration is on the roadmap, so Workspace-first organisations will be able to run the same Essential Eight assessment and continuous monitoring. Email
[email protected] and we’ll let you know the moment it ships.
Why isn’t this $19/month?
Because the alert “a Global Administrator was added without MFA” is worth more than $19. A standard Australian cyber-consultant Essential Eight engagement runs AUD $1,500 – $5,000 once. Aegis Eight monitors the same surface continuously, with evidence retained, so the work doesn’t go stale the moment a config drifts. Pricing starts at A$149 because below that the customers we attract aren’t the ones we can help.
How are users counted?
Active Microsoft Entra members and external members in your tenant — the same count Microsoft uses for licensing. Guests and disabled accounts are excluded. We read the count straight from your tenant on first scan; if you outgrow a tier we’ll email you before changing your plan.
Is there a contract?
Monthly. Cancel anytime from the dashboard or by replying to any Aegis Eight email. On cancellation we stop scanning immediately and purge customer data within 30 days on request — see the security page for detail.
What does an alert look like?
Plain-English email with the change, the timestamp, the underlying Graph evidence, and what Essential Eight control it affects. Example: “Alex Chen was assigned the Global Administrator role on 2026-05-31 14:22 UTC. MFA registration: not yet completed. Evidence: snapshot 8c4f… SHA-256 a91d…”. No noise from routine activity — alerts fire when something material to Essential Eight posture changes.
Will I get an email every day even when nothing changed?
No. Drift alerts are change-triggered, not scheduled. On a scan day where the diff against the previous snapshot finds nothing of severity high or above, nothing arrives in your inbox — the dashboard just shows “no changes since last scan”. The monthly maturity reassessment is a separate scheduled artefact and goes out on its own cadence regardless, because it’s a deliverable, not an alert. You can optionally enable a weekly or monthly “all clear” digest in your dashboard settings — it is off by default.
Do you sell this through partners / MSPs?
Yes — see the MSP section below. MSPs get a multi-tenant dashboard with a regression list across all managed tenants, and per-tenant pricing instead of per-seat.
How do I pay?
Card payment via our PCI-compliant payment processor at checkout. Prices are in AUD; if you need USD or NZD invoicing, email
[email protected] and we’ll set it up.
Will Aegis Eight ever change my Microsoft 365 settings?
No. Every Microsoft Graph permission Aegis Eight requests is read-only — there is no write surface anywhere in the product. The full list, mapped to the Essential Eight control each scope supports, is on the
permissions page.
