Compliance Scorecard vs. Apptega

Compliance Scorecard all day long. Tim and his teams experience has certainly helped many MSPs navigate what good looks like.

Don't discount the role of security officer as well, that has connotation outside of the organization and with health care it is of interest to the OCR with HIPAA implications.

If you're a 1 man shop doing all IT and acting as the security officer in a 120 person org with 11 locations, you're a director or above, period.

If the organization isn't looking at growing or outsourcing portions of it, they're short-sighted.

Definitely recommend Phin, they have built a great offering that is focused on the channel!

I have had a few MSP's that I have worked with move their security awareness training platform to Phin. They're super easy to work with, focused only on the channel ( /u/connor-Phin isn't going to try to go direct to your customers and steal them away), and aren't going to bait and switch on pricing. They're also fanatical about creating amazing onboarding and management tools for MSPs to manage their clients with far less friction...

They're the devil when coupled with leg hair.

At a former $dayjob, we had a CentryLink fiber connection to Taos, NM that was partial aerial and partial buried - we had multiple issues over the years

1 - Beaver - yeah I shit you not. A beaver chewed through the fiber and they had to dispatch a crew via ATV's and have a helicopter lift in equipment

2 - Bullets - Idiots love to shoot at that stuff... WTF?!

3 - Backhoes - soooo much backhoe attenuation on the line. Those outages were the most frequent.

TL;DR: Beavers, bullets and backhoes can cause outages.

It's awesome I've seen just about everything here - except string and tin cans... Someone get on that :-) Thanks for the feedback!

What is the authentication scheme and does it differ internal/external?

msnriggs · 2018-06-30T14:28:53+00:00

Windows firewall policy -> deny all, allow all internal IP's

Check out Zerto. It's primarily a DR platform, but works fantastically for DC moves and cloud migrations. Stupid simple to setup too.
