Security News > 2020 > May > Cybersecurity and compliance: Vital priorities for MSPs and their clients

Cybersecurity and, to a lesser but growing extent, compliance are the most pressing priorities for MSPs and their customers this year, according to a Kaseya survey of 1,300 owners and technicians of MSP firms in more than 50 countries.

"As more small and midsize businesses look to maintain vital security operations and decrease IT costs internally ahead of an economic downturn, they will lean on the expertise and services provided by MSPs to keep their companies operating."

On top of the concern for their own organization's security, MSPs must contend with increased cyber risks to their clients.

Two-thirds of respondents reported that their clients struggle to meet compliance requirements, and nearly one-third reported an increased need for compliance services in the past two years.

This presents an opportunity for MSPs to develop and leverage a niche expertise in this space to help clients maintain compliance with an increasingly complex set of regulations.
