Why Most MSPs Fail at Compliance and How to Break the Cycle

Think compliance automation has you covered?
You might be walking into a false sense of security.

In this episode, I sat down with Tim Golden, founder of Compliance Scorecard, to unpack the real risks of relying too heavily on automation—and what it actually takes to build a scalable, secure compliance program as an MSP.

This one’s for MSP leaders who want to grow and protect what they’ve built.

What we cover:

• Why automation alone isn’t enough to keep you (or your clients) safe
• What a real compliance foundation looks like
• Turning compliance into momentum—not just maintenance
• What the FTC safeguards really mean for your MSP
• How to create a compliance-first culture that scales
• Real examples of what’s working in the field
