Cybersecurity and compliance demands are growing faster than most service providers can keep up. MSPs and MSSPs are expected to deliver comprehensive services while also scaling efficiently, maintaining quality, and controlling costs.
But scaling presents significant challenges. Manual assessments, fragmented tools, and inconsistent processes lead to wasted time, duplicated effort, and missed risks. Managing multiple compliance frameworks adds complexity, as each has its own controls and documentation. Third-party risk assessments and rising client expectations stretch already limited teams. Meanwhile, providers must still prove value, retain clients, and compete in a crowded market.
Cynomi was built for service providers facing these exact challenges. It addresses the complexity of scaling cybersecurity and compliance by unifying cybersecurity, compliance, and risk management into one purpose-built platform. With Cynomi, MSPs and MSSPs can overcome resource constraints, streamline and standardize delivery, and clearly demonstrate value to every client at scale.
