Where Blacksmith Adds Value

• Built by Compliance Experts: While both platforms are built for MSPs, Blacksmith was created by experts in the compliance and vCISO space, not a former MSP. This means the combined experience and expertise of a team of compliance professionals is in the product’s DNA, not an add-on.
• Developed In-House: Blacksmith has been, and continues to be, developed entirely in-house by the company founders. Because Blacksmith’s development is not outsourced in any respect, the developers have immense control and flexibility when it comes to tailoring the product to MSP needs.
• Clear Compliance Roadmap: Blacksmith gives MSPs an actionable, prioritized, easy-to-understand compliance roadmap with proprietary guardrails rather than a blank canvas, dramatically reducing the guesswork and hassle involved in compliance setup.
• Automated, Expert-Written Policies: Blacksmith gives you cross-mapped, expert-authored policies that can be tailored for each client’s environment quickly and reliably — making onboarding and ongoing management a breeze.
• Holistic Approach: With Blacksmith’s approach to incident response planning, risk assessments, and TPRM, our platform emphasizes meaningful security improvement and ongoing risk conversation rather than just documentation, ensuring practical and ongoing protection for clients.
