Breaking Down the Baseline Employee Cybersecurity Assessment – Handling PII
Our recent launch of the Baseline Employee Cybersecurity Assessment provides MSPs with a new tool to add to their prospecting and baseline risk detection efforts. As an MSP, it gives you the opportunity to show prospects and clients that human security plays a key role in protecting their organization and that without proper ongoing training, employees are an easy entry point for cybercriminals.
While a security risk assessment will identify gaps in a business environment, the human element should never be overlooked or assumed to be foolproof.

Introducing the Baseline Employee Cybersecurity Assessment
Is it good or bad news to know that ransomware and phishing are no longer terms that need further explaining to most people? Yes, it is favorable when you’re trying to explain how important a cybersecurity plan is for your clients to have – you don’t necessarily need to start at the beginning when it comes to identifying the risk factors. But having a “place to start” is sometimes comforting to people when they are venturing into the unknown, and while a security risk assessment is critical to a business and an invaluable tool to you as an MSP, sometimes management has a hard time accepting that their team may be part of the risk landscape.
2022 Cybersecurity Budgets
Let’s talk end of year!
Cybersecurity budgets vary across businesses, with some spending millions of dollars each year and others only a small fraction of that. But no matter the size of your client’s cybersecurity budget, there are a few key steps you can take to make sure it’s effective.
Help Your Clients Identify Their Budget
Cybersecurity Agents Unite!
It’s holiday blockbuster season! The time of year when the big screens are full of movie releases that are expected to pull in the crowds that want to watch Marvel and DC Comic heroes unite to save the world. They come from all realms to fight the dark forces that threaten humanity. Together they will save the planet and it usually happens while the human race is blissfully unaware of the dangers that lurk in unknown territories, as they work silently and slowly to initiate our demise and take over the planet.
How to Create an Incident Response Plan
We often discuss the proactive approach that you should take when it comes to cybersecurity. Security risk assessments will identify the gaps, ongoing training will help to strengthen the human risk factor, and tools like Catch Phish will keep the team engaged and learning along with those training programs. But the fact is, you can’t eliminate all the risks that your clients face when it comes to experiencing a data breach. That means that having an incident response plan (IR) should be on your list of “must-haves” when it comes to smart cybersecurity.
Black Friday Scams
Don’t Be Scammed By a Turkey
It’s Thanksgiving week and that also means that the holiday season has officially started for most of us. And just the holiday season of our youth, as in summer vacation from school, this is the time of year when we as adults tend to put our feet up and let our guard down.
Do Your Healthcare Clients Need an Annual Checkup?
Do Your Healthcare Clients Need an Annual Check-Up?
As a Managed Service Provider, you’re in the business of keeping other businesses running. Which vertical they are in, or what products and services they provide may not be the most pressing detail.
Unless you’re talking about healthcare. There are two common views when it comes to supporting clients in the healthcare industry and those are: support their network and leave HIPAA out of it, or to avoid taking on those clients altogether because of the complexity of HIPAA.
IT Nation Week
‘Tis the season for gathering with friends and family and this year feels especially special because of the limited human interaction we’ve had over the past year. Or is it years now? It feels like years. While Thanksgiving is just around the corner, the type of gathering we are referring to is IT Nation in Orlando this month.
If you are not familiar with this event, it is the annual ConnectWise convention held in Orlando Florida where IT professionals get together to taut their wares, discuss new technologies, and have a great time being social. We’ll get to that social part in a minute, but first, let’s cover the basics.
