## Resource

Most MSPs get compliance completely wrong. They treat it like a product. They overcomplicate it. Or they try to charge a premium for something they can’t clearly define. In this episode, Tim Golden (Founder and CEO of Compliance Scorecard) breaks down what compliance actually is - and how MSPs should be using it. → Why compliance is a process, not a tool→ How to position yourself as a facilitator, not just a fixer→ The simple framework for delivering compliance without complexity→ How compliance uncovers gaps that turn into real revenue This isn’t about adding another service. It’s about changing how you think about value, risk, and your role in the client relationship. If you’re trying to move upstream, get a seat at the table, and stop being seen as “just IT” - this is the shift.Looking for Tim's FTC Safeguards CaaS Facilitation Workflow Document (mentioned in the episode) ?
