In a crowded market, “good enough” is a liability.
You’ve built a mature, secure MSP. But to a prospect, you look exactly like the cheap, high-risk provider down the street. They promise the world for half the price. And when you say, “We do it better,” the client just hears noise.
The Differentiator
End the "Trust Me" game. Hand them an independent, third-party audit report that speaks for itself. The conversation shifts from price to value instantly.
Operational Velocity
Get verified without the nightmare. Our Cyber Verify platform automates evidence collection, turning a 6-month slog into a streamlined sprint.
The Price Shield
Shut down price objections. Why are you more expensive than your competitors? Because you are verified. The seal is your objective proof of quality.
STANDARDS
Based On The Unified Certification Standard (UCS)
Most compliance frameworks were created for enterprise IT departments. They do not reflect what MSPs actually do. That is why we built the Unified Certification Standard (UCS) - a globally recognized framework developed specifically for managed service providers.
Purpose
The Unified Certification Standard was built because MSPs needed a framework that reflected how they actually work. Before the UCS, everything was written for enterprise IT. The UCS defines what maturity looks like for an MSP — operational discipline, security, documentation, and transparency that clients can trust.

Foundation
The UCS is the foundation for the MSP Verify certification. It was built from real MSP experience and refined over decades to create a consistent global benchmark. When an MSP aligns with the UCS, they show measurable professionalism and trust to clients, regulators, and insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just a marketing badge?
No. This is a rigorous, evidence-based audit. The badge is the result, but the value is the operational maturity you prove to get it.
Will this help me with cyber insurance?
Absolutely. Insurers love data. Providing an independent audit report demonstrates a lower risk profile, which can lead to better terms and easier approvals for both you and your clients.
Is MSP Verify right for my size of MSP?
Yes. Whether you are a startup or a global enterprise, proving your maturity is essential. For smaller or early-stage MSPs, our MSP Verify pathway helps you build the necessary controls from the ground up, preparing you for full certification at your own pace.
How long does the process take?
It depends on your current readiness, but our platform is designed for speed. Some have finished in a few weeks while most take a few months. The goal is to get you verified and back to business.
What is the difference between MSP Verify and Cyber Verify?
Think of Cyber Verify as your compliance operating system—a platform for MSPs of all sizes to build and manage their controls. MSP Verify is the elite certification you earn within that platform when you prove you meet the highest standards of operational maturity.
What is the difference between MSP Verify and Cloud Verify?
These certifications have two distinct purposes. MSP Verify is built for Managed Service Providers who manage client infrastructure. Cloud Verify is designed for SaaS and Cloud providers, addressing the specific security and operational nuances of cloud-native delivery models.
What is the difference between MSP Verify and other certifications (ISO, SOC 2)?
MSP Verify is built specifically for MSPs. While ISO and SOC 2 are general standards, MSP Verify addresses the unique operational and security challenges of managing IT services, making it more relevant and often more cost-effective for our industry.
