Three ways to work with Adeo — and one recurring artefact.

Engagements are fixed-fee or fixed-term, priced transparently, and scoped to produce a single readable document at the end. Nothing open-ended. Nothing recurring without your written instruction.

Fees are stated within each engagement. Every proposal is in writing before work begins; there are no retainers, renewals, or recurring charges without your signature.

№ 01 — Entry engagement From A$2,400 · Tier II from A$3,500

Quick-Scan.

A five-day, fixed-fee read on a single domain. Used by prospective clients who want a fast, credible view in one area before committing to a broader engagement. Delivered as an executive brief with a prioritised remediation list, supporting working papers, and a walkthrough call to talk it through.

Four variants are available, each mapped to a real operational pressure point we see in Australian SMEs.

Variant A · Tier I From A$2,400

Microsoft 365 Tenancy Security

Conditional access, MFA coverage, privileged role hygiene, sharing posture, email rule anomalies.

Variant B · Tier I From A$2,400

Backup & Recovery Readiness

Scope coverage, restore-test evidence, retention against insurer minimums, ransomware isolation posture.

Variant C · Tier I From A$2,400

Cyber-Insurance Readiness

Targeted gap analysis against your insurer's specific control expectations — ahead of renewal.

Variant D · Tier II From A$3,500

MSP Value & Performance

SLA compliance, ticket-data trends, licence optimisation, invoice accuracy, roadmap progression, vendor markup sanity-check.

Final fee is confirmed in the written proposal — the "from" price covers a standard-scope engagement; larger tenancies, multi-insurer crosswalks, or multi-contract MSP reviews are scoped upward.

№ 02 — Flagship engagement A$7,500 – 15,500

Baseline Audit.

A thorough, independent assessment across security, service delivery, commercial discipline, and MSP governance — measured against the Essential Eight, cyber-insurance controls, and best-practice baselines. Two to three weeks of evidence-led work, concluding with a document that leadership or the board can read and act on.

What you receive

  • A one-page executive scorecard — the same format used in Pulse, for continuity.
  • A technical report setting out the findings and evidence.
  • A twelve-month remediation roadmap with effort, cost, and ownership against each item.
  • An MSP accountability matrix — forwardable to your account manager without edit.
  • An executive readout for your leadership team or board.

Fee

Baseline Audit fees range from A$7,500 to A$15,500, tiered by organisation size and agreed in the written proposal. Every engagement is fixed-fee; there are no time-and-materials surprises.

Editorial, not dashboard. A document, not an app.

Board-grade oversight for roughly the cost of a single helpdesk ticket per month.

Every finding in an Adeo report is cross-walked to at least one of the above. Clients receive the crosswalk as an appendix to the Baseline Audit, so the evidence can be re-used by an insurer, a parent company, or a separate certifying body.

Next step

Not sure which engagement fits?

A thirty-minute conversation is the fastest way to decide. No cost. No sales script. If a Quick-Scan is obviously the right starting point, we will say so; if not, we will recommend the narrower thing.
