Is Your IT Provider Meeting Requirements?
The barrier to entry for IT service providers is low—practically anyone with basic IT skills and a laptop can start a business in the MSP space. However, with the rapid evolution of cyber threats, increasing regulations, and the growing expectation for service providers to act as extensions of their clients' businesses—aligning technology with strategic goals—it’s more critical than ever to ensure your provider meets the fundamental requirements to protect your business from risk and liability.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their access to multiple client networks. G6 can work alongside other providers or internal IT Staff to assist with managing the security and risk aspect of your operations.
Here are some key statistics highlighting the prevalence of cyber incidents among MSPs:
- High Incidence of Data Breaches Among MSPs: A significant 87% of MSPs reported experiencing at least one data breach in the past 12 months, with 16% facing more than five incidents in the same period.
- Insufficient Security Measures: Despite the risks, only 40% of MSPs have implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) on their own systems, even though they often advise their clients to use it. This gap highlights a disparity between recommended practices and internal security measures.
- Challenges in Maintaining Security Compliance: Approximately 85% of managed service and security providers face significant challenges in maintaining security compliance for their clients, often due to a lack of resources, expertise, or technology.
