ControlCase, a leading provider of IT Security Certifications and Continuous Compliance Services announced its recent partnership with ConnectWise and FifthWall Solutions. Under this partnership, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can now access the ConnectWise MSP+ security best practices framework from the ControlCase Compliance HubTM platform for both self-assessment and verification by ControlCase. This partnership also provides the rate-quote-bind assistance required for procuring insurance.

ConnectWise’s MSP+ framework is derived from the NIST CSF framework and aims to help MSPs strengthen their cybersecurity program, increase cybersecurity maturity, and ultimately lower their risk of a data breach. MSP+ provides an affordable compliance framework that can be used as the foundation for an MSPs cybersecurity program. The MSP+ program is split into 3 parts:

1. MSP+ Self Assessment – Allows the MSP to access the framework and start implementing controls and closing gaps at their own pace.
2. MSP+ Advanced – Includes assistance with remediation and final verification by ControlCase.
3. MSP+ Mastery – Demonstrates a mature cybersecurity program and is also verified by ControlCase.

“This partnership is a gamechanger for MSPs,” said Mike Jenner, CEO at ControlCase. “Security incidents involving MSPs, and their clients continue to rise. This rise necessitates stringent security controls to be implemented and the MSP+ framework provides a great place for MSPs to start learning about cybersecurity and implementing necessary controls.”
Speaking on the achievement, Raffael Marty, General Manager -Cybersecurity at ConnectWise said “Cyber insurance is a critical element to help partners protect their legacy by building a more cyber-resilient business. This partnership will help MSPs increase their cybersecurity maturity, prepare for and procure insurance; eliminating dozens of steps they and their customers would otherwise have to take.”

The ControlCase Compliance HubTM platform is integrated with ConnectWise Manage. MSPs can complete their MSP+ assessments without ever leaving their PSA. The MSP+ Advanced and Mastery offerings also include real-time compliance status and vital statistics such as risk rating and security milestone planning.
“FifthWall is excited to be the dedicated Cyber Insurance & Risk Management Solution Provider,” said Reid Wellock, President, FifthWall Solutions. “We work with 35+ insurers to limit clients’ cyber exposure and give peace of mind for businesses of any size.” This partnership greatly simplifies MSPs and their clients' access to insurance.”
