You can't be a little proactive; it's either all in or nothing at all You can't "resell" compliance vCIO or CaaS offerings depend on your familiarity in speaking the MSP compliance language. We are talking to a lot of MSPs today who look at compliance in a way that is very short sighted and not what will make a competitive difference in the MSP organization over the long run. What does it mean to "speak MSP compliance?" Understand compliance frameworks which matter to your customers Understand the role your MSP organization plays in customer compliance
