Secure Productivity Stack for 50–500 Users
One vendor. One bill. Okta identity, Microsoft 365 (or Google Workspace) productivity, and Proofpoint email security — licensed, implemented, and supported by one US-based team instead of three separate vendor relationships.
Built for professional services, media and entertainment, biotech, fintech, and other mid-market companies that have outgrown basic tools but don't want to staff a full internal security team.

The Core Stack, Layer by Layer

Layer On What You Need
Every add-on plugs into the same stack under the same contract — no new vendor relationship to manage.

Explore HRIS Automation →Compliance & Backup
Compliance archiving, endpoint backup, and extra HIPAA / SOC 2-style compliance consulting layered on top of the core stack.
Talk to Consulting →Why Bundle Instead of Buying Each Piece Separately
Three vendors bought separately means three support queues and three renewal dates. Here's what changes when one team runs all of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on pricing, migration, and how the tiers work.
Do I have to use Microsoft 365, or can I run this on Google Workspace instead?
Either works. Okta and Proofpoint sit on top of whichever productivity suite you choose, so swapping Microsoft 365 Business Premium for Google Workspace Business or Enterprise doesn’t change the Okta configuration or the email security policies underneath it.
What happens to my current licenses and data during migration?
Iron Cove runs a phased rollout — a pilot group first, then department by department — so mailboxes and files move with zero data loss while your team keeps working. Nothing gets cut over in one all-or-nothing weekend.
Is the $40–55 per user/month range a firm quote?
No — it’s a planning range for the Essential tier, not a quote. Final pricing depends on your exact user count, current licensing agreements, and how much of your environment needs to be rebuilt versus migrated as-is. We quote every engagement individually after a free environment review.
What’s the actual difference between the three tiers?
Essential covers the core stack — Okta, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and Proofpoint — plus implementation. Complete adds Iron Cove Managed Services so we keep running the environment after go-live. Premium adds compliance-specific pieces: Dropbox, archiving, enhanced compliance support, and Copilot.
Do I still need an internal IT person if I buy this stack?
Most clients keep a generalist IT contact for hardware and local troubleshooting, but hand identity, email security, and productivity administration to Iron Cove instead of hiring a dedicated Okta admin or security engineer.
How is this different from buying Okta, Microsoft, and Proofpoint directly?
Buying direct means three vendor relationships, three support queues, and three renewal dates you track yourself. Iron Cove holds all three under one contract and one team that already knows how the pieces are configured together — so a ticket doesn’t get bounced between vendors while your users wait.
