The Price Is Right: A Guide to Bundling and Pricing Security Services

Tiers or no tiers? Too expensive or not expensive enough? Getting your security stack bundled and priced so that you make good margin and your customers all have the same baseline protection, with options to add on, may seem like a black art. Our panel of MSPs will share their calculation tips and strategies for the customer conversation.

Presenters:

Erick Simpson, Ed Correia, Will Nobles

The MSP’s Court

Attorney Brad Gross answers all your questions on the risks and liabilities associated with providing cybersecurity. Do both you and your clients need cyber insurance? Should you fill out those security questionnaires for your client? Does your marketing put you at risk for being sued? Should you label yourself an MSSP? Find out the answers to these questions and more.

Compliance as a Service

CMMC, HIPAA, FedRAMP, CCPA, and more. It’s an alphabet soup of federal and state privacy and compliance regulations that your customers—and by extension you as their MSP—have to navigate. What is the opportunity to add compliance as a service to your portfolio and what is the risk? Our experts who are in the trenches will share the ins and outs of getting started and keeping you and your customers out of hot water.

Presenters:

Leia Kupris Shilobod, Karl Bickmore, Rebecca Herold

Ransomware Story Slam

When your customer gets hit with ransomware, it can be a harrowing event. Three MSPs share their white-knuckle rescue and recovery stories and the lessons learned. You get to vote on who had the best outcome and take away some strategies to apply to your own incident response.
