Cynomi Core

Protect Every Client. Build a Security Baseline.

Not every client needs vCISO-level oversight. But every client needs security. If you’re looking for a task-driven, scalable way to deliver foundational cybersecurity across more of your portfolio – efficiently, consistently, and profitably – without the overhead of a full compliance program, this is for you.

Why Cynomi Core

Security Foundations
That Scale With You

Cynomi Core is designed for partners who need to protect a broad SMB client base without overcomplicating delivery. It gives you and your clients a clear, prioritized action plan – so you’re always moving security forward, not just managing it.

  • A Baseline for Every Client

    Establish consistent, repeatable security across your portfolio, so you can protect every client – not just the ones ready for a full program.

  • Task-Driven Clarity

    Give clients a prioritized remediation roadmap they can act on, without the noise of full compliance overhead.

  • A Platform for Growth

    Start clients on Core and grow revenue from accounts you already serve – upgrade individual clients to Pro or add TPRM when the time is right.

What’s Included

Everything You Need to
Deliver Practical Security

When Clients Say Yes

The Moments That Turn a Security Conversation into an Ongoing Engagement

Most SMBs don’t wake up wanting a security program. They say yes when something makes security real. These are the moments when Core becomes the obvious next step.

An Assessment Surfaced Gaps

You ran a one-time assessment and the report shows exactly what needs fixing. Core turns that remediation roadmap into an ongoing, managed engagement – and turns discovery into recurring revenue.

Insurance Requires Ongoing Controls

Point-in-time proof is no longer enough. When insurers expect maintained controls between renewals, Core keeps the client’s baseline current – and documented.

The Client Outgrew Ad Hoc Security

New tools, new hires, new customers. When a growing SMB’s risk outpaces its patchwork defenses, they need a structured baseline – not a full compliance program.

You Need to Standardize Delivery Across Your Portfolio

When every client gets a different flavor of security, quality and margin both suffer. Core gives your team one repeatable delivery model you can run across every account.

The Assessment-Led Growth Motion

Core Is Where the Relationship Starts,
Not Where It Ends.

Core gives you a repeatable, low-friction way to onboard new clients and prove your value quickly. As client maturity grows – or compliance requirements kick in – you have a natural path to upgrade to Pro, add TPRM, or expand across more of their business.

  1. One-Time Assessment

    Paid discovery. Credible report. On-ramp to the program.

  2. Cynomi Core

    Task-driven security foundation for SMB clients.

  3. Cynomi Pro

    Cyber advisory and vCISO-led program: risk, compliance, and executive visibility.

  4. + TPRM

    Vendor risk – standalone or in addition to Cynomi Core or Pro.

90-Day Conversion

Partners who convert an assessed prospect to Cynomi Core or Cynomi Pro within 90 days of the assessment receive a replacement assessment slot, at no additional cost – so there’s no cost to using assessments as your on-ramp.

Everything You Need to Know About Cynomi Core

What is Cynomi Core and what does it include?

Cynomi Core is a task-driven cybersecurity management package designed for MSPs, MSSPs, and other service providers delivering foundational security services to SMB clients. It gives partners a centralized hub to run client-specific security assessments, generate automated remediation task workflows, and produce one-click security and risk reports – without the overhead of a full compliance program. Core includes embedded CISO-approved policies, internal and external scanning capabilities, and a Revenue Intelligence dashboard that surfaces upsell opportunities across the partner’s portfolio.

How does Cynomi Core help MSPs protect more clients without adding operational complexity?

Core is purpose-built for scale. Rather than requiring a CISO-level compliance engagement for every client, it gives MSPs a repeatable, standardized security delivery model with consistent assessments, automated task prioritization, and templated reporting. Partners can onboard new clients quickly using pre-built templates, deliver a professional security report in a single click, and track remediation progress from a central dashboard – so a partner can protect significantly more clients with the same operational effort.

What is the difference between Cynomi Core and Cynomi Pro?

Cynomi Core focuses on establishing and maintaining a strong security baseline through task-driven workflows, security assessments, and security reporting – ideal for SMB clients who need practical protection without formal compliance requirements. Cynomi Pro builds on that foundation and adds full vCISO-led program management, compliance oversight, a risk register, business impact analysis, and asset management – suited for clients with more advanced security maturity or regulatory obligations.

Both tiers share the same central platform, so partners can manage Core and Pro clients side by side and upgrade individual accounts as needs evolve. TPRM (third-party risk management) is available as a standalone license or as an add-on to either tier.

Can Cynomi Core help MSPs grow revenue from their existing client base?

Yes. Core includes Cynomi’s Revenue Insights capability, which provides portfolio-level data that highlights expansion opportunities – such as clients ready to adopt new products or services based on their security and compliance gaps. Partners who start clients on Core also have a natural upgrade path to Pro as those clients mature, so you can grow revenue from accounts you already serve without needing to acquire new ones.

Is Cynomi Core suitable for SMB clients with no prior cybersecurity program?

Yes – Core is specifically designed for clients at the beginning of their security journey. The platform generates a client-specific security assessment from the outset, automatically prioritizes remediation tasks based on risk, and delivers a clear security roadmap the client can act on immediately. Because Core does not require formal compliance management or a dedicated security team on the client side, it is accessible to SMBs with limited internal resources. It gives both the partner and the end client a structured starting point: a documented baseline, a prioritized task list, and visibility into progress over time.

How is Cynomi Core priced?

Cynomi is priced on a per-account basis and offers flexibility across one-time assessments and license types to fit your service model. Providers can build offerings using one-time assessments, Cynomi Core, Cynomi Pro, and TPRM based on client need, maturity, and service strategy. Use the Pricing & Packaging Studio to model the right mix for your portfolio, or speak with a Cynomi specialist.

Can I combine Cynomi Core with TPRM?

Yes. Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is available as a standalone license or in combination with a Cynomi Core or Pro license. It extends protection beyond the client’s internal environment and addresses one of the most common blind spots in modern security programs – vendor risk.

Should a new client start with a one-time assessment or go straight to Core?

It depends on where the client is today. If they are not yet ready to commit to an ongoing program, a one-time assessment is an effective way to evaluate their posture, identify gaps, and demonstrate value early. If the need for ongoing, foundational security management is already clear, they can start directly on Core. And if you begin with an assessment, converting that client to Core or Pro within 90 days earns you a replacement assessment slot at no additional cost.

How do I upgrade a client from Core to Pro?

Core and Pro run on the same platform, so upgrading is a licensing change, not a migration. All of the client’s assessment history, tasks, and reports carry forward, and you can upgrade individual accounts as their maturity or compliance requirements evolve – without disrupting service delivery.
