MSPAlliance
The association that built Cyber Verify and runs the certification program. An independent audit firm, pre-approved by MSPAlliance, performs the audit. MSPAlliance was founded in 2000 and represents 30,000+ MSPs.
Built by MSPAlliance for MSPs
Cyber Verify is a compliance platform and certification program for MSPs, built by MSPAlliance. MSPs use the software to assess themselves against the Unified Certification Standard, close gaps, collect evidence, and get audited with a human compliance expert guiding them. Certification is the foundation for adding other frameworks and reselling compliance to clients.
A plain-English guide
What each part of Cyber Verify means
The standard, software, certification, and service tier each have a different job.
Unified Certification Standard (UCS)
The standard MSPs are certified against, organized into Expertise, Trust, Security, Resilience, and Transparency.
Cyber Verify platform
The software used to assess, manage gaps, collect evidence, report progress, and manage client compliance through CaaS.
Cyber Verify certification
The audited attestation an MSP earns against UCS. It is the foundation required before adding frameworks or reselling CaaS.
CVAT
The guided assessment tool that baselines an MSP against UCS and shows where evidence or corrective work is still needed.
CORTEX
The maturity scoring engine that tracks progress across the five UCS Practice Domains.
Compliance sherpa
The human compliance expert included with every subscription who answers questions and pre-screens evidence before audit.
Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS)
A separate tier for certified MSPs to manage client compliance. Cyber Verify bills the MSP per client, and the MSP sets the resale price.
