## Products and prices

- [Protect](https://fourwindsdigital.com/products/prod-secured): Compliance programme. From €2,950. We find the compliance gaps that catch out Irish small businesses, fix them, and prove it. A second scan shows the fixes from outside, and dated documents prove the rest. You get a score against a published set of basic cyber security requirements (CyFun Basic) and an evidence pack to show insurers and customers.
  - Up to 10 staff: €2,950. The whole programme: the scan, every fix, the second scan, the score and the evidence pack.
  - 11 to 25 staff: €4,950. The same programme, for more accounts, devices and people to train.
  - 26 to 50 staff: €7,500. The same programme, for a larger business. Over 50 staff, we quote.
  - Two parts are also sold on their own: email protection, €450 once, and a GDPR pack, €650 once. What you paid comes off Protect if you take it within three months.
- [Build](https://fourwindsdigital.com/products/prod-build): Connect and automate. From €1,500. We join up the systems you already use and automate the jobs that repeat. Every enquiry lands in one list with replies tracked, bookings go through to payment, reports fill themselves, and every automation retries and alerts a person when it fails.
  - One connection: €1,500. Two of your systems joined, so data moves between them without anybody retyping it.
  - Up to five workflows: €3,000. Jobs that run by themselves: enquiries routed, bookings into payment, invoices raised, reports sent.
  - Larger jobs are quoted.
- [Support](https://fourwindsdigital.com/products/prod-retainer): We run it. From €450 a month. We keep what we built or secured for you working. We watch up to five of your systems, fix failures by the next working day, keep your website up to date and send you one report a month on enquiries, bookings, revenue and cost per booking. Your Google and Meta ads can be added on.
  - Support: €450 a month. Up to five systems watched and kept working, and one report a month.
  - Ads add-on: +€400 a month. On top of Support: your Google Ads and Meta accounts managed. You pay for the ads yourself, straight to Google or Meta.
