The Importance of the Shared Responsibility Model
For decades MSPs have used the adage "We take care of IT so you don’t have to." Back when MSP services included remote monitoring and management, managed AV, and managed firewall services, this was largely a legitimate claim. The MSP was analogous to the HVAC company. Nobody on staff was typically responsible for the heat or AC system.

Helping Small and Medium Managed Service Providers Manage Risk in Today’s Landscape
The IT Managed Services business has never been more risky. Increasingly MSPs are becoming the target of cyber criminals. They are being used as the conduit to get to their clients. Recently, several MSPs unwittingly became party to the distribution of malware, infecting some of their clients.
Most MSPs have implemented strong security in part throughout their organization but many have not followed a structured security framework designed to eliminate gaps. Why? Time and focus. It is on their list of priorities, but it never makes it to the top of their list. That is because they are trying to go it alone.
