How an Agency Could Save $12,936 a Year on BYOD Security

For agencies, bring-your-own-device policies are often part of how work gets done. Contractors may work remotely, move between projects, and use their own laptops to access company applications and files.

The challenge is controlling which of those devices should actually be trusted.

Before HENNGE

This 140-person agency uses Google Workspace Business Standard and works with contractors who access company resources from personal laptops.

The agency wants to make sure sensitive applications can only be accessed from approved devices. Its current Google Workspace plan doesn't provide the level of device-based access control it needs, so upgrading to an Enterprise plan is one option.

For this scenario, the estimated Enterprise price is $28 per user/month.

After HENNGE

With HENNGE Identity, the MSP adds device certificates without changing the client's existing Google Workspace plan.

Device certificates allow the MSP to identify which devices are approved for access. A contractor can still use a personal laptop, but access can be limited to devices that have been registered and issued a valid certificate.

If that contractor leaves the company, changes roles, or loses the device, the certificate can be revoked without changing the user's entire Google Workspace setup.

This gives the agency a practical way to support BYOD while keeping control over which devices can reach company resources.

The client saves $12,936 a year

On Google's flexible monthly billing, Business Standard costs $16.80 per user/month.

Using the $28 per user/month Enterprise estimate for this scenario, upgrading would add $11.20 per user/month.

For 140 users:

Google Workspace upgrade:

$11.20 × 140 users × 12 months

= $18,816/year

HENNGE Identity:

$3.50 × 140 users × 12 months

= $5,880/year

Maximum savings:

$12,936

/year

That price difference also gives the MSP room to build margin into the service.

At $3.50 per user/month, there's up to $7.70 per user/month of pricing room before reaching the additional cost of the Google Workspace upgrade.

For example, pricing HENNGE Identity at $5.50 per user/month would still save the client $9,576 per year while creating $3,360 in annual recurring profit for the MSP.

Pricing note: This example uses a $28 per user Google Workspace Enterprise price for the scenario. Compared with HENNGE Identity at $3.50 per user/month, the client still saves $24.50 per user every month before accounting for the cost of its existing Google Workspace plan.

Have a client with BYOD contractors?

BYOD doesn't have to mean giving every device the same access.

HENNGE Identity gives MSPs a way to control which devices can access client resources while allowing the client to keep its existing Google Workspace plan.
