Blacksmith proudly received two awards from the great people at MSP Influencer!

We were awarded the 2025 Vendor Excellence Award for vendors going above and beyond for MSP partners, a distinction our compliance tool earned through “disciplined, engineering-driven approach to helping MSPs build stronger, more secure, and more compliant environments.”

From MSP Influencer:

“Clients consistently highlight Blacksmith’s communication, structured methodologies, and commitment to transparency. The team’s emphasis on education and clear documentation empowers MSPs to adopt better practices, improve their internal processes, and deliver stronger security outcomes to their own customers. This combination of rigor, partnership, and professionalism makes Blacksmith InfoSec a deserving recipient of the 2025 Vendor Excellence Award.”

We were also awarded the 2025 MSP Media Impact award for our podcast, Get NIST-y!

From MSP Influencer:

In a world filled with fear-based marketing and vague cyber claims, Get NIST-y stands out as a refreshingly honest, technically sound, and deeply valuable resource. Their work embodies the spirit of the MSP Media Impact Awards: creators who move the industry forward through insight, education, and meaningful contribution.

We sincerely thank Joe and everyone at ForzaDash and MSP Influencer for this recognition, and for everything they do for the IT channel!
