Incident response for the peoplewho hold everyone else's keys.

Daniel Ramos · CTO, Intelligent Automation

Every incident plan ever written assumes one organization, one estate, one legal entity and one person who can say yes. If your firm holds standing administrative access into other companies' estates, all four are false at once. Six parts, five provider-side playbooks, and 60 tiered readiness controls you can score against yourself.

The MSP Readiness Checklist

Five playbooks a single-company plan does not contain

PB-MSP-PLATFORM, your RMM or PSA is compromised. PB-MSP-CROSS, cross-tenant lateral movement. PB-MSP-GDAP, delegated admin relationship abuse. PB-MSP-TECH, technician account compromise. PB-MSP-VENDOR, your upstream vendor is compromised.

Every claim is cited to a primary source. Where sources disagree, it says so rather than picking a favourite — and where something could not be confirmed, it is marked as unconfirmed instead of being quietly rounded off.

Who it is for

Service delivery leads

Authority matrices, escalation design and the tranche plan for notifying forty clients.

On-call technicians

Three nights, clock-stamped, with the decisions named and the authority written down.

CISOs who buy managed services

Half of this is what you should be demanding. Read it from the other chair.
