Your MSP Is Not the Client's Unpaid Compliance Department

September 15
20 mins

Episode Description

It started with one questionnaire. Now you're the compliance department, and apparently that's included in the flat rate. On Get NIST-y, Blacksmith InfoSec's cybersecurity and compliance podcast for MSPs, we're talking about who owns the program and who pays for the work.


- Name one executive owner at the client before work starts. Your day-to-day contact doesn't have to be that person.

- Check the contract before charging for new work. Catching up on patching you already owed is different from adding a managed compliance service.


We answer:

- Our client wants to "get compliant," but every task comes back to us. When do we insist on an internal owner?

- How do we keep questionnaire help from turning into unlimited compliance work under a flat-rate MSP agreement?
