Security and IT, without hiring for it.
Cyber security, IT support, and managed monitoring for Phoenix businesses, delivered by our referral partner Whispering Dragons, an independent Phoenix-based MSP. You'll work with them directly.
What Whispering Dragons Delivers
Three service lines, scoped per business.
Cyber Security
Protection against ransomware, phishing, and data breaches, plus employee awareness training. Tailored security processes for businesses that can't afford a full-time security team.
IT Support
Onsite or remote troubleshooting across the Phoenix metro. Real humans who pick up the phone and know your setup, not a national queue that resets every ticket.
Managed IT
Proactive monitoring, maintenance, and patching. Cloud backups, system reporting, and custom hardware when your business outgrows off-the-shelf machines.
Who This Is For
If any of this sounds like you, we should talk.
You just got hit by a ransomware email or a data leak.
Whispering Dragons handles incident response, recovery, and the awareness training that stops it from happening again.
You have no IT person and your laptops haven't been patched in a year.
Managed IT covers monitoring, updates, and backups across every device so nothing is forgotten.
A client contract or your insurance is asking for proof of security controls.
Whispering Dragons scopes the framework you're being asked about (HIPAA, PCI, or similar) on the discovery call before quoting, so you know what's actually achievable.
Your team is growing and everyone's working off personal laptops.
Endpoint management gets every device onto the same policies, antivirus, and backup schedule.
The Partnership
Two specialists, one recommendation.
Disclosure: independent partner. Mutual referrals, no money flows in either direction. Also our own MSP.
We build your apps, SaaS platform, or website. Whispering Dragons keeps the laptops, network, and backups locked down. They're a separate Phoenix-based MSP, but they're also our own MSP, which is how we know their work firsthand. Every IT or security client we get, we send to them. Every web client they get, they send to us.
For security work, you'll engage Whispering Dragons directly. Skip the middleman. Reach them at (623) 295-1730, [email protected], or visit their site.
- Independent Phoenix-based MSP we refer all our IT clients to
- Onsite + remote across the Phoenix metro
- You work with them directly, no middleman fees
- Transparent monthly tiers (Iron / Steel / Titanium), custom add-ons available
Why Not The Alternatives
The cheaper paths each fail differently.
One person can't cover the whole stack.
A single IT hire runs $80k+/year and still can't be on call 24/7, can't specialize in security AND networking AND backups, and takes a long vacation eventually. A small MSP team covers the same surface for less.
You're a ticket number, not a client.
National chains route your urgent issue into a queue with hundreds of other companies. Whispering Dragons is Phoenix-based, and the same engineers handle you every time, so they actually know your network.
Works until something actually goes wrong.
DIY security is fine until the first real incident. By then the backups aren't tested, nobody knows where the password vault is, and the cleanup costs more than three years of managed service.
Pricing
Published tiers, plus custom scope.
Whispering Dragons publishes three monthly packages (Iron at $400, Steel at $800, Titanium at $1,200) plus custom add-ons for cloud backups, compliance work, and beyond. Final pricing depends on device count, user count, support hours, and any compliance scope. Reach out to them for a quote sized to your setup.
Visit Whispering DragonsCommon Questions
Answered before you ask.
What does Whispering Dragons actually deliver?
Cyber security, IT support, and managed IT. Plus custom hardware, system monitoring, and cloud backups. Phoenix-based, onsite or remote. See Whispering Dragons' site for the full current catalog.
Do they handle HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2 compliance?
Compliance work is scoped framework-by-framework on the discovery call. Whispering Dragons can map the controls you're being asked about (or that your insurance requires) and tell you what's achievable on your current setup. No blanket compliance promises before that conversation. (Mesquite Dev is not a Business Associate, QSA, or compliance auditor; certification is a contractual matter between you and Whispering Dragons under their agreement.)
How fast do they respond to issues?
Response speed depends on the service tier you sign for. Get the specifics on the call before committing. For real emergencies, they're Phoenix-based and can be onsite same day.
Do you handle the IT work, or just refer us to them?
Refer only. Whispering Dragons delivers all IT and security work, and you engage them directly. We're the web side (custom sites, software, SaaS). If a project genuinely spans both lanes, we'll coordinate with them on your behalf, but for pure IT work you skip us entirely and call them. No middleman fees.
What's a typical monthly cost?
Whispering Dragons publishes three monthly tiers: Iron ($400), Steel ($800), and Titanium ($1,200), with custom add-ons available on top. Your final number depends on device count, user count, support hours, and any compliance work in scope. Get a real quote on the discovery call.
Can I keep my current IT person?
Yes. Whispering Dragons can augment an existing in-house person (covering the specialties they don't, like security or after-hours response) or fully replace one. Both happen.
The breach is always cheaper to prevent than to clean up.
If you already know it's an IT or security issue, go straight to Whispering Dragons, that's where the work happens. If you're not sure whether it's web, IT, or both, ask us and we'll point you in the right direction.
