The Quick Take
Cynomi is a Security Growth Platform powered by CISO Intelligence that turns compliance services into a full security practice. Compliance is an outcome of good security, and the platform is built so your team can deliver both. The depth that looks like overkill on a features page is what lets you build recurring security advisory services on top of compliance delivery, moving partners from documentation-level engagements to $2,500/month security advisory.
Compliance Scorecard is a governance as a service (GaaS) platform built around policy management, compliance documentation, and risk assessments for MSPs. Focused experience for teams that want a centralized compliance repository with structured policy workflows.
Cynomi starts with security program delivery and guides partners from assessment through remediation, with compliance mapped throughout. Compliance Scorecard starts with governance documentation and measures progress through policy adoption and compliance scoring. Both approaches lead to compliance outcomes.

Cynomi Redefines
Compliance and Cybersecurity Management
Cynomi is easy to get running, but the ceiling is high enough that your team never outgrows it.
Simple, Intuitive, Built to Use
Continuous Security Between Assessments
Smarter Automation, Stronger Outcomes
Intelligence Over Information
Scalable Design, Unlimited Growth
Feature Deep Dives
Simple, Intuitive, Built to Use
Simplicity at the starting line matters. The question is whether the tool you pick today still serves you a year from now, when clients expect more than a compliance score and a policy library.
Cynomi’s wizard-driven workflows deliver the same fast start. Any team member can run assessments, generate policies, and build remediation plans with limited CISO-level expertise required. Partners describe it as “putting us in the expert seat very quickly.” And the platform keeps delivering as your practice matures: posture scoring, risk registers, executive reporting, cross-framework mapping. No ceiling, no replacement shopping.
- Visual dashboards with posture scoring and spider graphs that clients immediately understand
- Guided workflows that make junior team members effective from their first engagement
- A platform that grows with your practice instead of limiting it
Continuous Security Between Assessments
A framework snapshot is useful for an assessment or a board meeting. Less useful for the 11 months in between, when environments change, new risks emerge, and clients expect the MSP they are paying monthly to keep them moving forward.
Cynomi tracks security posture continuously. Automated assessments, real-time scoring, prioritized remediation that updates as tasks get completed. When a client asks “are we more secure than last quarter?” you have a concrete answer and a next-quarter plan they can approve on the spot. That ongoing visibility turns project-based compliance into a retained security relationship.
- Continuous posture scoring that reflects actual progress, not periodic snapshots
- Automated risk identification that catches emerging gaps between formal reviews
- Prioritized remediation so your team always knows the next step to recommend
Smarter Automation, Stronger Outcomes
Compliance Scorecard’s v10 release introduced 30+ AI prompts across policy, assessment, and reporting workflows. While that’s meaningful investment in compliance documentation automation, Cynomi agentifies and automates a broader surface: environment analysis, tailored policies, prioritized remediation roadmaps, executive reports that drive advisory conversations.
Partners report 75-80% less manual work while improving delivery quality. Automated scoring helps you deliver faster. Automated advisory helps you charge more.
- Tailored policy templates generated from each client’s actual environment and risk profile
- Automated evidence collection from cloud and on-prem systems
- Prioritized recommendations ranked by business impact, not alphabetical control order
Intelligence Over Information
A score and a set of policies answers “where do we stand?” It does not answer “what should we fix first?”, “how do we explain this risk to the board?”, or “what will remediation cost?” Those questions separate a compliance report from a security advisory engagement.
Cynomi’s CISO methodology transforms compliance and risk data into prioritized roadmaps and executive-ready reports. Your team walks into client meetings with strategic recommendations, not status updates. That is what supports advisory-level pricing.
- Executive-ready reports that translate technical findings into business risk language
- Prioritized remediation roadmaps tied to each client’s specific risk profile
- Strategic guidance embedded in every workflow, so your team delivers it consistently
Scalable Design, Unlimited Growth
At five clients, any tool works. You fill gaps with manual effort and keep margins reasonable. At 20 or 30 clients, the economics change. If your platform only handles scoring and documentation, your team does advisory work manually for every account. Hours multiply, quality varies, margins compress.
Cynomi replaces that overhead with structured, repeatable delivery. One analyst manages 20+ client security programs because the platform handles methodology, documentation, prioritization, and reporting. Partners have increased client capacity by 40% without adding staff. Choose a platform that still works when the practice succeeds.
- Multi-tenant architecture designed for service provider economics at scale
- Standardized delivery that maintains quality whether you have five clients or 50
- Portfolio-level visibility that surfaces upsell opportunities across your client base
Which Platform Is Right for You?
Different priorities, different tools.
Cynomi may be the better fit if:
- You are starting a compliance practice and want to build it on a foundation that supports full security advisory
- You want to charge premium MRR for security services, not compete on price for compliance documentation
- Your team does not have deep security expertise, and you need a platform that guides them through delivery
- You plan to grow beyond 10 clients and need economics that improve with scale, not degrade
- You want one platform that handles assessments, policies, remediation, reporting, and cross-framework mapping
- You are thinking about where your practice needs to be in two years, beyond what you can launch this month
Compliance Scorecard may be the better fit if:
- You need a centralized governance repository for policy attestation and tracking
- Your clients need structured document management with revision control
- Your practice is focused on compliance outcomes more than security advisory
- You want a dedicated Compliance as a Service (CaaS) platform
What Our Partners Say
Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re looking for a compliance or GRC platform, Cynomi is designed for the same starting point. Partners are operational within days, onboarding is wizard-driven, but the difference is there’s limited CISO-level expertise required. The benefit is with Cynomi you do not switch platforms in six months when clients start asking for more than compliance scoring.
Most partners deliver client assessments within days. Streamlined, template-driven onboarding with no lengthy configuration or professional services requirement.
Partners typically start with compliance-focused engagements and expand into full security advisory within the first quarter. Compliance frameworks, risk assessments, posture scoring, remediation planning, executive reporting — all available from day one. Use what you need now, grow into the rest. That trajectory moves partners from $500/month compliance services to an average of $2,500/month security advisory.
Both, and they reinforce each other. 40+ compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and more), with real security programs where compliance is one outcome. Your clients get a security roadmap and a compliance posture. You get a service worth charging for monthly.
Tiered plans with transparent, predictable pricing. Assessments, policies, remediation guidance, reporting, cross-framework mapping, integrations all included with Cynomi Pro license. No surprise fees for capabilities you will need as your practice grows.
CISO Intelligence embeds the decision-making logic of an experienced security leader into every workflow. It analyzes each client’s environment and delivers specific, prioritized recommendations. Your team walks into client meetings with a strategic roadmap, not a compliance checklist. Partners use it to guide conversations and identify upsell opportunities they would otherwise miss. Cynomi’s AI Agents also help with CISO-level workflows and GTM scale.
$60M+ raised and continuously shipping new capabilities across intelligence, partner enablement, and revenue analytics. That investment matters when you are choosing a platform to build a practice on.
Cynomi’s partner success team helps with transitions, and fast time-to-value means you can run both platforms in parallel during migration. Several partners have transitioned from lighter tools as their practices outgrew them, or complex enterprise level GRC solutions, because the customization was cumbersome and impeding profitability.
