Compliance Scorecard Commits To CISA Secure By Design Pledge, Strengthening Governance, Risk, And Compliance Solutions For Msps

DOVER, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Compliance Scorecard™, a Governance-as-a-Service solution created by MSPs for MSPs, today signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Secure By Design Pledge underlining its commitment to safeguard the digital landscape for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs). CISA’s Secure by Design pledge is a voluntary pledge that commits technology manufacturers to seven distinct goals, each of which is designed to increase the safety and security of software solutions before they reach the market.

The CISA Secure By Design Pledge is a voluntary commitment by technology manufacturers to adhere to seven key objectives aimed at bolstering software security before products reach the market. These objectives are rooted in established best practices, including those from CISA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and other federal agencies, as well as international industry standards. By signing this pledge, Compliance Scorecard commits to making tangible and measurable advancements in areas such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), the elimination of default passwords, vulnerability reduction, timely security patches, transparent vulnerability disclosure policies, management of common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE), and detection of intrusions.

"Embracing secure-by-design principles is at the core of our mission," said Tim Golden, CEO, Compliance Scorecard. "With nearly two decades of experience in developing web-based and SaaS applications for the federal government, we have a deep understanding of the necessary foundations for creating secure SaaS solutions. From the outset, we have prioritized multi-factor authentication, avoided default passwords, and implemented stringent password policies in alignment with CISA and NIST standards. Our rigorous approach includes continuous vulnerability scanning, static code analysis, comprehensive system and audit logging.”

Navigating regulatory frameworks such as HIPAA, FTC, NIST, and CMMC presents significant challenges, requiring continuous adaptation and adherence to evolving industry standards. Compliance Scorecard’s Governance-as-a-Service (GaaS) platform simplifies this process for MSPs, helping them manage policies efficiently, stay compliant with regulations, and mitigate risks like data breaches, fines, and reputational harm.
