Help with Cyber Insurance

MSPs have a hard time getting cyber insurance, and it’s also tough for customers, ConnectWise’s Raffael Marty said. ConnectWise has announced a new partnership with ControlCase to ease the process of getting cyber insurance.

“ControlCase has built a assessment capability actually on top of our ConnectWise Manage tool or platform as project templates,” he said. “So when you’re working with a customer or a prospect as an MSP, you want to understand how they look and then, what’s their security posture. Do they have certain processes in place? Do they have certain security tools in place? With the ControlCase tool, you can go through a questionnaire to answer and understand where is the risk and where does the customer, the prospect stand? And that’s the tool that is going to be made available for free on top of ConnectWise Manage for a self assessment of the customer.”

MSPs can then go in and remediate the problems they see and then get certified by ControlCase for compliance with security and privacy requirements, Marty said.
