Blacksmith InfoSec and Liongard partner to simplify MSP compliance audits

Blacksmith InfoSec and Liongard have announced a strategic integration designed to significantly simplify and automate compliance audits for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). This collaboration promises to transform a historically tedious and complex process into a streamlined, security-driven operation, freeing MSPs from the burdens of manual data wrangling and confusing technical reports.

Why this Integration matters

At the core of this integration is the shared belief that robust security outcomes should be the driving force behind compliance.

By leveraging Liongard's deep data collection capabilities with Blacksmith InfoSec's compliance hub, MSPs can now automate user-centric security audits across critical platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and any other system connected via Liongard.

"Traditional auditing tools often overwhelm decision-makers with technical noise," said Jared Casner, Co-Founder of Blacksmith InfoSec. "This integration shifts the model, giving MSPs targeted, understandable data that actually helps improve security."

The joint solution empowers MSPs to:

• Run fully automated user access reviews across key environments with minimal manual effort.

• Generate business-friendly reports that simplify approvals and bolster security governance for their clients.

• Gain centralized visibility across multiple platforms, all managed from within Blacksmith's intuitive compliance hub.

This means an end to chasing outdated account records or grappling with cumbersome CSV files. MSPs can now produce comprehensive user audits with a single click, providing clear, actionable insights ready for auditors or executives.

Callen Sapien, Chief Product Officer at Liongard, emphasized that this integration goes beyond typical "Compliance-as-a-Service" offerings. "This isn't about more paperwork," Sapien stated. "It's about measurable security improvements every time an audit runs."

The integration bridges the gap between technical complexity and business clarity by directly linking user access rights to governance workflows, transforming audits from mere checkbox exercises into genuine opportunities for risk identification, supporting the principle of least privilege, and strengthening client trust.
