  6. The Issue • Our industry is built on the trusted relationship. • How do we: • Earn trust? • Prove trust? • Deal with those situations where trust is abused?

  7. Trust • How can MSPs develop trust for new customers? • If trust is necessary for managed services, how can new customers ever choose safely? • What are customers top concern? • Data security? • Compliance? • Privacy? • Is this true for cloud? • How about managed services? • How do service providers address these concerns?

  8. Transparency • What does it mean to be transparent? • Security Perspective? • Operations Perspective? • Can MSPs provide transparency without being forced to? Should we? • Market Forces? • Regulatory Forces? • How do customers choose a provider without transparency? • What do customers want to see from their MSPs?

  9. SLA Transparency • SLAs codify trust and transparency? • But do they really? • What works better? • What impact does this have on contract renewal?

  10. Trust but verify! • What does it mean to Trust but Verify? • Qualifying through existing customers? • Auditing and Assessment? • Manage the relationship after the SLA is signed • Ensuring their MSP does the job, and having good oversight of the MSP (by the customer)
