Starting an MSP takes less red tape than cutting hair. That gets awkward when lawmakers write cybersecurity rules without enough input from people who actually run IT services. NSITSP legislative chair Ted Giesler explains how MSPs can help shape smarter state policy before a well-intended bill becomes a technical mess.

• Why cyber safe harbor provides a legal defense, not immunity

• How company size, available resources, data sensitivity, and framework choice affect that defense

• Why Ohio’s model spread to five other states, while Oklahoma limited its version to hospitals

• How one Michigan proposal aimed at online pornography also tried to ban VPNs, proxy servers, and encryption
