In the Game of Life (and life, itself) every move matters. But for Fearful Fergus, the fear of making the wrong choice leaves him stuck. Fergus is that person in the office who avoids every move... "What if something goes wrong?" "What if we’re not ready?" But in security and compliance, standing still can be the riskiest play of all. That’s why we created the Game of Life: Security & Compliance Edition Infographic—a roadmap for the journey ahead. Start with Gap Analysis Boulevard—figure out where you stand. Cruise through Tool Implementation Lane—add MDM, SIEM, and GRC tools to level up. Stop at Training Town—because your team needs to know the risks and how to avoid them. Hit Validation Station—check those controls and prepare evidence. Finish at Readiness Square—and guarantee audit success. Security and compliance isn’t a single move—it’s a series of strategic decisions. With the right roadmap, Fearful Fergus can stop worrying and start winning.

There’s always a Myopic Mike in the office —the one who’s too focused on the day-to-day that he doesn’t see the big picture. When it comes to client relationships, that mindset can leave real value on the table for your #MSP or #MSSP. So we've built a Security & Compliance QBR Template to change that. Run quarterly business reviews your clients will actually look forward to! And, turn those complex security and compliance updates into engaging sessions that build trust and drive new revenue. Deliver real business value, create deeper client relationships, and fuel MSP growth—all with a QBR that even Mike can’t miss. Get the template and start seeing the big picture today. See link in the comments below or comment Compliance QBR and we'll send you a copy! #Cybersecurity #Compliance #QBR #ClientEngagement #MSPGrowth #QuarterlyReview

We all know a "Costly Costas". He is the guy who’s always skeptical about every budget line. He won’t justify the spend or build an ROI—even when it comes to critical cybersecurity and GRC tools. And, in many ways...he's correct! In today’s cybersecurity climate, choosing the wrong security or GRC software can end up costing way more than it saves. Stop wasting time lost in endless vendor research. Our GRC Vendor Selection Tool & Comparison Chart helps takes the guesswork out of the process. With a built-in scoring model, you can easily compare features, frameworks and policies, services, and even, audit guarantees across GRC tools, so even Costas can’t argue with the value.

We all know Jobsworth Jermaine—the guy who always thinks AI security is not "his problem". He may be more focused on other business objectives, or he figures someone else will handle it. But in today’s world, AI risks can’t be ignored, no matter your job title. That’s why you need the AI Security Assessment. (Link in the comments below 👇) Score your AI security readiness, so even Jermaine can’t shrug it off. You can - and should - evaluate the risks in your AI tech stack, check how AI is being used, and make sure your core systems, ownership models, and ethical considerations are in line. Don’t let Jermaine’s "not my job" attitude put your AI security on the backburner—take control and score your readiness. #AISecurity #CyberSecurity #RiskManagement #AICompliance #EthicalAI #GRC #EveryoneSecure

Every team has an Oblivious Oliver—he's great at his job (mostly) but can be clueless when it comes to third-party risks. And let's be real, those blind spots can be dangerous. So, how are you managing the risks from your current and potential 3rd-party vendors? Without a solid plan in place, Oliver's ignorance could leave your organization exposed. That’s where Ostendio’s Third Party Risk Management template comes in. It’ll help you build workflows, track vendor relationships, make sure security questionnaires get done, and keep everything compliant with regular audits. Don’t let Oliver’s lack of awareness put you at risk—download the template and get ahead of those third-party vulnerabilities.
