From Checklists to True Compliance-as-a-Service (EP 947)

MSPs are being dragged into compliance whether they’re ready or not, and this episode gives you a practical roadmap from people who’ve already done it. Tim and Shanna break down how to launch compliance-as-a-service, reduce your legal exposure, and finally get paid for work you’re already doing for free.

Why Listen:

• Learn how Compliance Scorecard evolved from a simple checklist into a multi-module GRC platform built by an MSP for MSPs.
• Hear real stories about CMMC, HIPAA, New York DFS, SOC 2 and cyber insurance requirements driving new revenue and risk.
• Understand how to document client decisions so “we told you no” is provable when lawyers and insurers get involved.
• Discover how to reposition your QBRs/TBRs from “ticket counts” to executive-level risk and business impact conversations.
• See why assigning a dedicated compliance champion inside your MSP is the crucial first step before tools.
• Get a preview of Compliance Scorecard’s AI-driven policy experience that explains policies “like I’m five” and tests user understanding.
