MSPs say nearly half their customers rely on them for CISO services

Managed service providers (MSPs) report that approximately 46 percent of their customer base depends on them to perform chief information security officer (CISO) functions, according to Sophos research. Most MSPs deliver these services without comprehensive compliance capabilities and rely on multiple tools to execute the work. Providers expect demand for this service to increase.

Why it matters: Organizations using MSPs as de facto security leaders need to assess whether their provider has the expertise, tools, and staffing to cover gaps in compliance and governance; practitioners should evaluate their own organization's CISO-level support and ensure adequate security oversight.
