For 21 years, I’ve been anticipating a day when MSPs are recognized as the indispensable guardians of data privacy and security that they are. With that recognition comes responsibility, and responsibility will continue to arrive in the form of government regulation of MSPs in a particular way.
Highlights:
- MSP regulation will be indirect
- Not all MSP regulation will say “MSP” in it
- MSPs (as proxies for their clients) will be impacted by regulation, but also benefit from it
- MSP regulation will accelerate IT management and security best practices
