Kiteworks unveils MSP/MSSP program
Kiteworks has launched its new Managed Service Provider (MSP)/Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) program. This is designed to empower Kiteworks MSP and MSSP partners to address the pressing security and compliance challenges faced by organisations. As cyber threats and regulatory demands intensify, organisations are increasingly struggling with the existential risks of data breaches and noncompliance fines. Kiteworks’ MSP/MSSP program offers a robust solution, enabling partners to deploy a platform that is secure by default and designed to meet stringent regulatory requirements, including FedRAMP, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018, among other security and compliance validations and certifications. Having these standards in place enables organisations to minimise risks, reduce costs and achieve compliance faster. “The Kiteworks MSP/MSSP program enables our partners to deliver unmatched security and compliance solutions that directly address the challenges their customers face,” said Kurt Michael, chief revenue officer at Kiteworks.
clustering and scaling means that MSPs/ MSSPs can meet diverse customer requirements without incurring high infrastructure costs. How customers benefit l Resource pooling: Many organisations, particularly SMBs, lack the resources and expertise to manage secure and compliant systems. The MSP/MSSP program allows partners to pool their resources and deliver scalable, cost-effective solutions across multiple clients. l FedRAMP and CMMC compliance: Smaller defence industrial base organisations face significant challenges in meeting CMMC compliance due to stringent requirements. Kiteworks supports nearly 90% of CMMC 2.0 Level 2 controls out of the box. l Consolidation to reduce complexity: MSPs/MSSPs often grapple with the complexity of managing multiple security products, leading to increased costs and operational challenges. Kiteworks consolidates these functions into a single platform, reducing the need for multiple configurations and easing the administrative burden. l Centralised compliance control: Compliance requires intricate policy settings and audit logs. Kiteworks offers comprehensive, centralised policy controls that reduce the labour required for compliance and minimise the risk of audit failures. In addition, features like Content- based Risk policies and Next-generation Digital Rights Management SafeEDIT provide additional safeguards, enabling secure content collaboration. l Flexible deployment: The MSP/MSSP program supports a variety of Kiteworks deployment options, including on-premises, private cloud and hybrid environments, ensuring that MSPs/
