How MSPs Can Strengthen Their Security Posture

As data breaches and targeted attacks on Managed Service Providers (MSPs) present a massive threat, enterprises are asking for assurances on data security. Regulatory compliance, such as SOC 2, is rapidly becoming a “must-have,” not a “nice to have.”

SOC 2 Type II

For MSPs, SOC 2 is considered the gold seal of approval in compliance for the secure handling of data, and a critical differentiator that can help win new business. Obtaining SOC 2 can be a lengthy journey that requires a dedicated compliance team, regular internal audits and vulnerability assessments, and engaging an independent third party assessor to perform semi-annual audits.

Tehama successfully maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance for three of the Trust Services Principles: security, availability and confidentiality. By using the Tehama Platform and taking advantage of Tehama’s SOC 2 compliance, Pythian was able to transition over one hundred of their security controls to Tehama, such as data encryption and strong access control, and achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance in a rapid timeline.

This is a great example of an MSP leveraging Tehama to strengthen their security posture, while reducing the overall cost of maintaining an audit program.

“Tehama is central to Pythian’s SOC 2 compliance program. Offloading access, encryption and availability controls to Tehama has allowed Pythian to focus where we want to spend our time, on our customer processes.” 

— Marc St. Louis, VP Security and Technical Services, Pythian
