Stage One: Starting an MSSP

MSSP Accelerator Essentials

You want to begin – or expand – your cybersecurity offering, but where to start? Whether you’re already selling security services, just getting started with your security practice, or your cybersecurity business is simply an idea at this stage – we know how to get you onto the right track.

MSSP Accelerator Essentials is an MSP-focused, self-paced program that guides you through the setting up of a security practice and helps you set up your go-to-market strategy. We introduce you to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework & CIS Critical Security Controls, help you price and package your resale offering, and share expert knowledge to develop your marketing strategy and sales pipeline management.

We cover all the questions you may be asking about MSSP best practices, resources and marketing – or that you didn’t know you should be.

The solution

At the end of the self-led program you’ll have a clear idea of which security services are profitable to offer your clients, how to successfully onboard and deliver operationally, and have a go-to-market strategy in place.

The program covers:

Targeting and closing sweet spot prospects and handling common objections

Introduction to the framework that will form the basis of your approach (NIST CSF / CIS 20)

Packaging and pricing your security offering in an easy to understand way for your clients

Create a go-to-market strategy and/or assessment of your existing cybersecurity practice

 Create and execute a best-in-class onboarding process, and understand deployment and threat response essentials

Ongoing sales enablement and pipeline assistance working with your internal sales resources

How Does MSSP Accelerator Essentials Work?

How long does it last?
The MSSP Accelerator Essentials program is a self-paced process designed to kick start your security practice, with ongoing sales and operations support.
How is it run?
A modular training program that you work through at your own pace. Subsequent sales enablement will be delivered on a one-to-one basis via weekly remote meetings.
Who can attend?
MSSP Accelerator Essentials will be relevant to MSPs not currently offering cybersecurity, as we can help you to create a go-to-market strategy as well as to MSPs who already have cybersecurity services as we can work with you to optimise them.
Are there any prerequisites for attendees?
No – you just need to be already delivering or planning to deliver cybersecurity services.
