Revenue Insights

No Other Platform Shows You Where Your Next Dollar of Security MRR Is Hiding

If you know there's untapped security revenue in your client base but can't see where it is, and if expansion depends on your best people remembering which clients need what, this is for you.

The Problem
You Already Know

You know there is untapped revenue in your client base: clients with security gaps, and compliance needs they have not addressed… means services they should be buying from you. But that intelligence is trapped in individual assessments, scattered across spreadsheets, and visible only to the handful of people who ran each engagement.

Your sales team can’t sell what they can’t see. Your Customer Success Managers can’t upsell without understanding the client’s roadmap.. And your security team is too busy delivering to map gaps back to your service catalog. The result: MRR that should be recurring stays random.

No other platform solves this. GRC tools don’t track revenue. vCISO tools don’t map gaps to services. Cynomi does both.

Capabilities

How Cynomi Changes Revenue Intelligence

Map Services Directly to Security Risks

Connect each product or service in your catalog directly to documented risks, remediation tasks, and compliance requirements, creating a defensible link between your services and security outcomes.

Quantify Coverage and Risk Reduction

Use weighted scoring to clearly show how well services address client risk exposure and where critical gaps remain.

Identify Expansion Opportunities Automatically

Reveal the next-best services to recommend based on uncovered high-risk tasks, turning security delivery into a structured growth engine. Example: An MSP with 80 managed IT clients discovers that 47 have unaddressed security gaps mapping to $12,000/month in new MRR across assessment, remediation, and compliance services.

See Service Adoption Across Your Portfolio

Gain a portfolio-wide view of which services are deployed across clients and where monthly recurring revenue opportunities exist.

Standardize Advisory Across Your Team

Codify solution-to-risk relationships so teams can deliver consistent, scalable recommendations without relying on manual mapping or senior-only expertise.

Uncover Your Next Security Service

Identify the biggest unmet need across your client base by highlighting where large gaps exist today, so you can focus on developing the right service or solution to address it.

CISO Intelligence for Revenue Insights

Revenue Insights isn’t a dashboard bolted onto a compliance tool. It’s the natural output of CISO Intelligence applied to your entire portfolio. Because Cynomi understands each client’s security posture, risk exposure, regulatory requirements, and remediation progress, it can identify where services are missing, not based on a generic checklist, but based on actual assessed risk.

That’s what makes the revenue intelligence defensible. When your team recommends a service, they’re not guessing, they’re pointing to a documented gap, a quantified risk, and a clear connection to the client’s security program. That changes the sales conversation from “you should buy this” to “here is what your program needs next, and why”. Revenue Insights also shows your team what security service to develop next, based on client needs.

From Security Gaps to Service Revenue

An MSP with 80 managed IT clients can surface portfolio-wide opportunities that were previously trapped inside individual assessments.

Example Portfolio Signal

47 clients have unaddressed security gaps mapping to $12,000 per month in new MRR across assessment, remediation, and compliance services.

Why It Is Defensible

Each recommendation points back to a documented gap, quantified risk, and clear connection to the client's security program.

Where It Shows Up

QBRs, renewal conversations, service adoption reviews, and account planning all pull from the same live security intelligence.

Your Business Outcomes

Enable Technical Teams to Drive MRR

Empower security teams to identify and position future services without relying solely on sales.

Strengthen Executive Client Conversations

Support QBRs with clear insights into risk coverage, service impact, and next-step recommendations that translate directly to monthly recurring revenue.

Increase Cross-Sell Across Your Portfolio

Identify recurring service opportunities across your entire client base, quantified in MRR terms.

Scale Security Services Strategically

Understand which services deliver the most impact and where to expand your offerings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Cynomi help MSPs identify new revenue opportunities?

Cynomi maps security gaps across your entire portfolio to your service catalog, quantifying expansion opportunities in monthly recurring revenue terms. Every assessment, risk finding, and compliance gap is connected to the services that address it. Your team sees exactly which clients are missing which services, how much MRR each gap represents, and which recommendations are backed by documented risk. It turns "we should upsell" into "here are 47 clients with specific gaps worth $12K/month."

What is portfolio-level revenue intelligence?

Portfolio-level revenue intelligence means seeing your entire client base in one view, not just individual client reports. Cynomi shows service adoption across all clients, highlights where gaps cluster, and quantifies the revenue opportunity at the portfolio level. No other security platform provides this. It's the difference between knowing one client needs compliance services and knowing that 60% of your book has unaddressed compliance gaps worth a specific amount of monthly recurring revenue.
