Compliance Without the Spreadsheet Hell
25 automated IWF controls run continuously. One-click QBR generation. Insurance-ready attestation to Coalition and Cowbell. Turn compliance from manual burden into strategic advantage.
The vCIO/vCISO Burden
Four challenges preventing strategic vCIO work
Manual Compliance Auditing
Quarterly spreadsheet hell: manually checking backup encryption, patch status, privileged accounts. 6-10 hours per quarter per client; always out of date.
QBR Data Gathering
Pulling data from 10+ tools and assembling executive-ready reports. 4-6 hours per QBR; delays strategic conversations.
Insurance Attestation Burden
Carriers demand compliance evidence; MSPs scramble to gather screenshots, logs, configs. Reactive evidence collection; renewal delays.
No Proactive Risk Visibility
Compliance gaps discovered only during audits or incidents. Client trust erosion; reactive remediation.
How BrainstormMSP Solves It
Automated Compliance Monitoring
25 IWF Baseline controls run continuously -- catch issues before audits or incidents. 100% evidence collection automated. Saves 6-10 hours per client per quarter.
- Continuous control evaluation (hourly): IWF-001 to IWF-025 run automatically across all clients
- Evidence collection: API responses, logs, screenshots stored with tamper-proof timestamps
- Risk scoring: Client-level and control-level scores (0-100) for prioritization
- Auto-remediation: PSA tickets created with step-by-step remediation guides when controls fail
One-Click QBR Generation
Executive-ready quarterly business reviews in 60 seconds -- no manual data gathering. Aggregates data from RMM, PSA, backup, compliance automatically.
- Automated data aggregation from RMM (uptime), PSA (tickets), backup (success rate), compliance (risk score)
- Executive summaries: Natural language summaries of compliance posture and security trends
- Customizable templates: White-label with MSP branding, custom sections, client-specific KPIs
- Evidence attachments: Compliance control results, failed control details, remediation timelines
Insurance-Ready Attestation
Coalition, Cowbell, and other carriers get automated attestation -- no manual evidence gathering. Real-time risk score tracking.
- Carrier integrations: Coalition and Cowbell APIs for risk score tracking and attestation submission
- Compliance mapping: IWF controls mapped to insurance carrier requirements
- Automated attestation: Evidence packages submitted to carrier portals at renewal time
- Risk remediation workflows: Failed controls create tickets; risk score improves as tickets close
Example Automated Controls
See how IWF controls work in practice
IWF-007: Backup Encryption Validation
Ensures all backup workloads have encryption enabled. Queries Acronis API for all workloads; flags any with encryption disabled. Runs hourly.
IWF-001: Backup Validation
Verifies backups completed successfully in last 24 hours. Autonomous AI triage auto-resolves or escalates with PSA ticket. Runs hourly.
IWF-013: Disaster Recovery Testing
Tracks DR test execution and validates RTO/RPO targets. Flags tests overdue >90 days. Runs daily.
IWF-018: Privileged Account Monitoring
Tracks privileged accounts and flags unused or shared accounts. Flags accounts unused >90 days or without MFA. Runs daily.
