The business of providing Managed IT Services has never held so much risk. The cyber treat landscape is larger and more complex than ever before. At the same time, increases in data and privacy regulations create legal requirements that can be difficult to meet. Although cybersecurity and compliance are top of mind for most MSPs, they are not always at the top of the priority list. The day-to-day distractions that are inherent in the MSP business often get in the way.

OTX Roundtable is a peer/best practices group for small to medium Managed Service Providers looking to reduce their risk, improve the security in their own practice, and attain compliance with legal requirements.

Each group within OTX Roundtable GRC consists of like-minded MSPs that are working toward a common goal such as CMMC Certification, or CIS Security Framework compliance. Years are broken up by trimesters, bracketed by in-person offsite meetings. Each member sets their own goals to attain during the following trimester and reports progress on the previous trimester’s goals. Other members assist, but also challenge other on their goals.

Monthly virtual meetings are conducted to review hot topics, listen to expert guest speakers, roundtable issues.

OTX Roundtable GRC provides a GRC Platform that members can use to perform assessments on their own organization and track progress toward compliance with a number of cybersecurity frameworks and regulations.

Membership in OTX Roundtable keeps risk management, cybersecurity, and compliance at the top of the priority list.

“Being a member of the OTX Roundtable for the past three years has been an invaluable asset as we navigate the complexities of CIS and CMMC compliance.
