Blacksmith + ConnectWise:
Integration Overview

With Blacksmith InfoSec and ConnectWise, compliance goes from a disruptive chore to a seamless, value-adding capability — increasing security, margin, and client satisfaction for modern service providers

Blacksmith InfoSec’s integration with ConnectWise Manage streamlines compliance for MSPs by bringing automated compliance tasks and audit workflows directly into the PSA platform technicians use daily. This certified integration optimizes efficiency, eliminates redundant manual work, and ensures audit readiness by automatically mirroring compliance projects and tasks from Blacksmith into ConnectWise, where they can be tracked, worked, and resolved natively. The result is a unified, transparent, and scalable compliance experience—without double entry or jumping between multiple systems.
