Are you tired of customers dreading compliance and security talk? In this episode, I chat with Jared Casner of Blacksmith InfoSec, who’s making compliance accessible for every MSP and SMB. Discover their “paint-by-numbers” approach to policy management, seamless ConnectWise integrations, and how their flexible platform creates new revenue streams for tech pros.

Holistic security isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a philosophy, and Blacksmith InfoSec is putting it into action. Hear the backstory of how two founders shifted from startup IT challenges to channel-first solutions built just for MSPs. We dig deep into white-label options, risk management frameworks, and the value of real community feedback. You’ll leave with new strategies, and maybe even a pen recommendation, too.
