Complementary Security Partnerships for MSSPs

Partner with EXTEND to empower your clients with effective governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) practices that support a strong security and privacy posture.

Strengthen Your Position as a Managed Security Provider with EXTEND

You are already assisting your clients with network security, threat detection, and incident response. To demonstrate maturity across their entire privacy and security program, customers also need help with governance, risk management, compliance, cyber insurance, and more.

MSSPs have an opportunity to deliver additional value to clients and prospects in these areas when they can eliminate the obstacles of limited GRC expertise, talent and resource constraints, and time.

In this important growth area, choosing EXTEND as a complementary partner can help you augment and optimize the security services you currently provide.

Audit Preparation

We help organizations conduct independent internal audits and prepare for third-party audits. Using detailed checklists and best practices, we review the implementation of and ongoing compliance with policies and procedures. Together, we can help clients know where they stand for their own benefit or in preparation for a certification or industry audit.

Cyber Insurance Assurance

MSSPs and their clients benefit from EXTEND’s unique cyber insurance expertise. We help customers provide complete and accurate responses to carriers’ security program questionnaires, strengthen their ability to access cost-effective coverage aligned with their risk tolerance, and identify the landmines that lead to insurance claim disputes related to a data breach.
