About Checkmark as a Service
Checkmark as a Service started as a lighthearted parody - because the security world takes itself a little too seriously. But it quickly became a practical tool for MSPs who needed a simple way to start security conversations without fear, confusion, or checkbox theatrics.
Built inside the Compliance Scorecard ecosystem, this tool gives MSPs a fast, surface-level view of what's publicly visible to attackers. No agents. No credentialed scans. No overlap with vulnerability tools. Just clear, external intelligence to open the right conversations.
Checker the Boxer - our unofficial compliance companion - reminds us that security doesn't need to be scary. Sometimes you just need a loyal guide to help spot the obvious stuff first.
We help MSPs shift the conversation:
- From "Do you have compliance?" to "Here's what's visible right now."
- From fear-based selling to clear, useful intelligence.
- From giant reports to meaningful next steps.
- From checkbox theater to practical security guidance.
Why This Exists
MSPs kept asking for a simple, fast way to kick off security conversations - something lighter than a vulnerability scan, and more business-friendly than a giant audit report. Checkmark fills that gap without replacing deeper tools or GRC programs.
- Eliminates fear-based pre-sales tactics
- Shows only what's publicly visible - nothing internal
- Helps MSPs frame risk without overwhelming clients
- Pairs naturally with Compliance Scorecard's full GRC platform
What Checkmark Actually Does
- External signals only: What attackers can see from the outside
- Business context: Clear, simple explanations clients understand
- Sales enablement: A low-friction entry point to real conversation
- Upgrade-ready: Built-in API converts prospects to full Compliance Scorecard clients
How MSPs Use It
- Qualify prospects: Quickly see who needs help
- Start the conversation: Without fear, pressure, or giant PDFs
- Build trust: Show value before proposing deeper work
- Bridge into GRC: Move clients directly into Compliance Scorecard programs
Where This Fits
This isn't a vulnerability scanner, a pentest, or a full compliance program. It's the front door - an early, low-cost look at external risk that naturally leads to deeper assessments and full GRC adoption inside Compliance Scorecard.
- Run a free scan to see it live
- Move qualified prospects into Compliance Scorecard
- Use it with current clients or new leads
