Stop Waiting. Start Securing.

from MSP 1337 | Cybersecurity Education and Security Guidance Hosted by Chris Johnson | Cybersecurity Education & Security Guidance

Most MSPs don't have a compliance problem. They have a starting problem. Michael Zbarsky of Blacksmith InfoSec joins MSP1337 to challenge some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding compliance, security frameworks, and cybersecurity maturity. From the GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark and CMMC to evidence automation and third-party assessments, the discussion focuses on what actually moves organizations forward and what keeps them stuck. Michael shares why "good enough" today is often better than "perfect" next year, why automation cannot replace human judgment, and why MSPs are uniquely positioned to lead both their own organizations and their clients toward stronger security outcomes. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by compliance requirements, unsure where to begin, or skeptical that another framework will help, this episode offers a practical roadmap for turning intention into action.
