Let me guess—you’re out there telling prospects about your EDR. Your MDR. Maybe you even toss in a fancy SOC.
You know what that sounds like in 2025?
A caveman grunting about his shiny new flame.
Newsflash: Everyone is selling cybersecurity now. Everyone knows they’re a target. And nobody cares about your tools. You’re not saying anything they haven’t heard before. So if you think you’re going to differentiate your MSP by leading with “cyber,” you’re already toast.
The Real Problem Isn’t the Breach
It’s the fallout.
Clients don’t just want protection from hackers. They want protection from regulators. They want protection from lawyers. And—spoiler alert—they want protection from you, too.
Because when the breach happens—and it will—you’re not just on the front line of cleanup. You’re on the short list for the lawsuit.
Yes, you.
You—the MSP—get dragged into court, deposition, discovery.
And if your security program isn’t tied back to standards in a way that even a jury of first graders can follow? You lose.
This Is the Part Where It Gets Worse
The breach is the easy part. It’s a blur. A few days. Maybe a few weeks. No sleep. All stress.
The lawsuit? That’s the long game. Months. Sometimes years.
It’ll drain your time. Your money. Your focus. And your client’s attorney will make it personal.
So let’s not pretend that a slick MDR pitch is going to save you.
The Shift: From Selling to Protecting
Here’s how you win:
- You do the right things first.
- You recommend what’s needed instead of pushing what’s billable.
- You document everything—especially the things they said no to.
That’s right. Risk Acceptance isn’t just paperwork. It’s legal armor.
And when the lawyers come knocking, it’s the only thing standing between you and a court date.
Change the Conversation
Want a real competitive advantage? It’s not cybersecurity. It’s liability protection. And you can’t fake it. You need to know where your clients are exposed. You need a Cyber Liability Assessment that shows you the truth—the hidden commitments, the blind spots, the traps you’re walking into.
