FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Trustmark Enhances MSPs' Cybersecurity Defense

Dover, NH — October 29, 2024 – Compliance Scorecard™, a Compliance-as-a-Service platform designed by MSPs for MSPs, has announced its support for the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark program. This partnership aims to bolster MSPs' ability to protect sensitive data and mitigate cyber threats through a globally recognized standard in cybersecurity.

To earn the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark, IT organizations must demonstrate compliance with 177 cybersecurity safeguards derived from multiple international standards. CompTIA’s rigorous evaluation process assesses an organization's operational procedures, infrastructure, and security systems. Companies awarded the Trustmark are recognized for implementing a strong foundational security framework, designed to continuously evolve with industry best practices.

“As a former MSP, we understand the challenges MSPs face when trying to navigate complex cybersecurity and compliance frameworks,” said Tim Golden, founder and CEO, Compliance Scorecard. “This background allows us to offer solutions that are highly relevant and tailored to the needs of MSPs, unlike more generalized compliance tools that might not fully address the operational realities of MSPs managing multiple clients across diverse regulatory landscapes. By integrating Compliance Scorecard with the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark, MSPs can strengthen their cybersecurity posture, streamline operations, enhance client trust, and gain a significant competitive edge.”

Compliance Scorecard leverages its experience to help MSPs tackle each phase of the Trustmark assurance—from initial readiness assessments to full audits—offering actionable insights and practical solutions tailored to the MSP environment. Compliance Scorecard worked with other members of the CompTIA community to help shape the controls, policies, and procedures that are now central to the Trustmark assurance. This insider knowledge of the Trustmark program gives Compliance Scorecard an unparalleled edge in helping MSPs exceed the requirements necessary for assurance.

Key benefits for MSPs using Compliance Scorecard alongside the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark include:

  • Streamlined Compliance Management: Compliance Scorecard simplifies the management of CompTIA Trustmark Assurance with documentation, tracking, and reporting processes. This reduces the burden of compliance and saves time for MSPs.
  • Competitive Differentiation: In a crowded market, the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark sets MSPs apart, especially when managed efficiently through Compliance Scorecard. This combination becomes a key differentiator, particularly when engaging with clients in regulated industries.
  • Risk Management and Reporting: The platform performs risk management functions, helping MSPs meet Trustmark’s high standards. Its Risk Register and customizable reporting tools enable MSPs to monitor compliance risks and generate reports for stakeholders seamlessly.
  • Alignment with Best Practices: Compliance Scorecard’s features, such as Policy Scorecards and Compliance Assessments, ensure that MSPs align their processes with the best practices required for the CompTIA Trustmark, streamlining workflows and enhancing consistency.
  • Efficient Evidence Collection and Audit Preparation: Compliance Scorecard integrates tools including Microsoft Intune, RMM/PSA tools, and MS365 Ecosystem to securely store and manage compliance evidence. This simplifies audits and ensures MSPs can quickly respond to compliance inquiries.
