Managing compliance shouldn’t be an uphill battle, but for many MSPs, it often feels that way. Just when you think you have compliance locked down, something new emerges—new frameworks, updated requirements, or rising pressures from cyber insurers. It’s a constantly shifting landscape MSPs have to manage.
With penalties increasing and compliance frameworks constantly changing, it’s hard to know if you have the right tools and strategies in place. Fortunately, Blackpoint’s Justin Weller and Chris Thomas have your back. Tune into Blackpoint Cyber’s on-demand webinar “5 Ways to Simplify Compliance Without the SIEM Overhead” to discover their practical strategies for simplifying compliance while eliminating unnecessary complexity. You will also learn how Blackpoint’s LogIC solution helps MSPs cut through the tidal wave of alerts, reduce costs, and streamline audit processes without sacrificing security. Here are some of Justin and Chris’ key takeaways below.
Where SIEMs Miss the Mark in Meeting Compliance
While traditional SIEMS have long been used to manage compliance, they come with their own set of challenges—high costs, unnecessary complexity, and an overwhelming flood of alerts. SIEMs can also require expensive resources, additional infrastructure, and highly skilled personnel to manage them effectively. As Chris notes, many MSPs are dedicating 15-20% of their time to compliance tasks, cutting into their ability to implement proactive security measures.
LogIC offers a smarter approach to simplifying compliance without requiring the same resource-intensive overhead. With its streamlined setup, real-time log access, and automated audit preparation, LogIC helps MSPs meet compliance requirements while keeping costs predictable and manageable.
5 Ways LogIC Helps You Simplify Compliance (and Sleep Better)
- Automated Audit Prep: Less Stress, More Success
“I still remember that time the auditor fell asleep in the corner as I was going through one of my audits,” Chris recalls, citing the stressful nature of audits including worrying about having all your data ready. But with LogIC’s automated audit preparation, MSPs can quickly generate compliance ready reports and reduce the manual effort involved.
- Real-Time Log Access: Because Seconds Matter
When it comes to accessing your logs during a breach, Chris emphasized, “It’s security. seconds matter,” With LogIC, logs are available in real time, allowing MSPs to immediately access the data they need for audits or incident responses.
- Framework Alignment: Dashboards That Work for You
Instead of spending hours cross-referencing compliance frameworks, LogIC’s pre-built dashboards provide an at-a-glance view of key metrics. Think of it as your compliance GPS—a streamlined way to ensure alignment with frameworks like CMMC, PCI DSS and HIPAA.
- Streamlined Oversight: Your Own Compliance Command Center
“Remember those NASA-style control rooms with all the screens on the wall?” Chris asked. “Now imagine that level of visibility but simplified.” With centralized dashboards, MSPs gain better oversight without the need for multiple monitoring tools. “It’s like putting them (the dashboards) all together, giving you your own little command center of where you stand for each compliance,” Chris explained.
- Cost-Effective Scalability: No More Surprise Bills
Traditional SIEMs can lead to unpredictable expenses as data volumes grow. As Justin pointed out, “As an MSP, you need to have a solution that offers predictable scaling pricing that aligns to your business model, not to the enterprise and not to anybody else.” LogIC’s predictable pricing model ensures MSPs can meet compliance requirements without breaking their budgets.
Why LogIC + MDR is a Power Combo
Justin also weighed in about the value of SIEMs saying, “They’re great for log aggregations, they’re great for data visualization, but they’re just terrible when it comes to threat hunting.”
Combine LogIC’s compliance tools with Blackpoint MDR’s threat detection for all-around protection. While LogIC focuses on compliance and log management, MDR provides active threat detection and response. “It’s like having both a fire prevention system and a team of firefighters,” Thomas explained.
Break Free from Compliance Burdens
“Being compliant doesn’t automatically mean you’re secure,” Chris reminded attendees. With LogIC, compliance becomes simple, security stays strong, and your team can stay focused on growth.
