SimpleRisk Hosted Reseller Platform
Enables MSSPs to deliver GRC-as-a-Service on top of the SimpleRisk GRC and Incident Management Platform.
What is SimpleRisk Hosted?
The SimpleRisk GRC platform is designed to deliver a simple, effective and affordable GRC solution that ensures customers will benefit from the repeatable, scalable and sustainable processes that are the foundation of any successful GRC program. With SimpleRisk, you’re able to identify, rank, monitor, and track risks through their mitigation life cycle and continually measure the progress of your cybersecurity program. SimpleRisk Hosted combines all of the functionality of our award-winning SimpleRisk software with the convenience of a fully managed hosting solution built upon all of the intrinsic security benefits of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.
How does the SimpleRisk Hosted Reseller Platform work?
In 2020, we determined there was an emerging market segment geared to adopt an affordable, simple to use, comprehensive GRC-as-a-Service platform. The SimpleRisk Hosted Reseller Platform is designed around an MSSP/vCISO model, and it enables the delivery of GRC-as-a-Service on top of the SimpleRisk GRC and Incident Management Platform. From there, the MSSP can White Label the product to extend their brand and help create a unique competitive advantage.
For the Hosted Reseller Platform, SimpleRisk provisions a dedicated Kubernetes cluster for each MSSP, which utilizes Docker to provide security and scalability for each new customer that the MSSP onboards. The Hosted Reseller Platform is a functional equivalent to our SimpleRisk Hosted Large Enterprise Plan, which includes all of the SimpleRisk Extras, except for Incident Management and Organizational Hierarchy, which are priced separately. While the MSSP must commit to a 36-month term on the platform with a minimum of 3 customer instances, there is no limit to the number of instances that can be included, and instances can be swapped in and out with different customers as necessary.
