By leveraging these innovative tools, MSPs can navigate complex regulations confidently and maintain resilient operations. Compliance management has become a critical aspect of achieving sustainable business growth. The need for a holistic approach to managing governance, risk, and compliance has never been more pressing.
The Importance of Governance, Risk, and Compliance
GRC is more critical than ever as businesses face increasing regulatory scrutiny and potential risks.

The Compliance Scorecard platform introduces a centralized repository for attesting, managing, and governing all documentation critical to compliance.

Key Features of Compliance Scorecard
Compliance Scorecard simplifies policy management and risk tracking for MSPs. Key features such as the Risk Register and Asset Management ensure all risks and client assets are meticulously documented and monitored. MSPs benefit from automated asset imports and real-time visibility into hardware, software, and facility assets, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and compliance accuracy. The Risk Register serves as a centralized hub for tracking risks, detailing potential impacts, owners, mitigation strategies, and status updates.
The Asset Management feature ensures comprehensive tracking of client assets across multiple sites. API integrations with tools like Liongard and M365 hardware enable automated asset imports, providing real-time visibility into software, hardware, user accounts, and facility assets. This detailed tracking ensures that all assets are accounted for and remain compliant with regulatory frameworks. These robust features translate into increased efficiency and reduced risk exposure for MSPs, fostering a more secure operational environment.
Detailed Compliance Insights
The Compliance Control Assessment (CCA) Reports provided by the platform offer tailored insights into various compliance frameworks, including HIPAA, FTC, NIST, ISO, SOC 2, and CMMC. These detailed reports facilitate smoother audits and provide clear compliance status to clients, positioning MSPs as knowledgeable and trustworthy partners in governance. The CCA Reports are designed to simplify the audit process, making it easier for MSPs to demonstrate compliance to regulatory authorities and clients alike.
These reports enhance transparency, providing MSPs with the leverage needed to engage clients proactively in compliance discussions. By presenting clear, actionable insights, MSPs can build trust and foster stronger relationships with their clients. The ability to generate comprehensive compliance reports tailored to specific frameworks ensures that MSPs maintain a high level of preparedness for audits and regulatory inspections. This proactive stance is essential in today’s fast-paced digital environment, where regulations are continuously evolving, and compliance is a moving target.
