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 experience and expertise 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 was not outsourced, the developers have greater control and flexibility when it comes to tailoring the product to MSP needs.
  
  
• Clear Compliance Roadmap: Blacksmith gives MSPs an actionable, easy-to-understand compliance roadmap rather than a blank canvas, dramatically reducing the guesswork and hassle involved in compliance setup.
  
  
• Automated, Expert-Written Policies: Blacksmith drives custom, expert-authored policies that can be tailored for each client’s environment quickly and reliably — making onboarding and ongoing management much easier.
  
  
• Holistic Approach: The platform emphasizes meaningful security improvement and ongoing risk conversation rather than just documentation, ensuring practical and ongoing protection for clients.
  
  
• Minimized Resource Investment: Blacksmith helps MSPs operationalize compliance without adding extra peer groups, time-consuming meetings, or heavyweight training overhead.
  
  
• Scalable and Profitable: Built to help MSPs add more clients with minimal extra effort, Blacksmith supports service profitability and reputation as compliance experts.
