Partner with Northern Data Solutions, LLC — the independent third-party behind Cyberwatch — to add proven, revenue-generating security offerings to your MSP without building a pentest or compliance practice from scratch.
Why This Partnership Works
The MSP and Northern Data Solutions each bring what the other needs — creating a powerful, conflict-free synergy that elevates your brand and expands your revenue.
Your Strengths as the MSP
You own the client relationship and the infrastructure. Your clients trust you. You have the seat at the table, the context, and the ongoing managed services contract. That is irreplaceable — and we never compete for it.
- Client relationship ownership
- Infrastructure access and context
- Ongoing managed services delivery
- First-call trust with end users
Northern Data Solutions' Strengths

- Neutral 3rd-party credibility
- Deep pentest and compliance expertise
- White-labeled delivery under your brand
- Full compliance stack (CMMC, PCI, HIPAA)
Get Your Own MSP Evaluated. Take Control.
Every Proactive Advanced Security Partner receives a complimentary, independent Cyberwatch evaluation of their own MSP environment first. Before you take this to clients, you live it yourself — validating your own security posture, understanding your attack surface, and gaining complete visibility.
Get Evaluated
Receive a real-world, independent Cyberwatch assessment of your own MSP environment at no cost. See exactly what your clients will see — and lead by example with a validated, documented security posture.
Take Control
Gain full visibility into your own attack surface through the Cyberwatch remediation portal. Remediate on your terms, prove risk reduction, and enter every client conversation from a position of credibility and strength.
You can't credibly sell what you haven't proven on yourself — so we prove it on you, at no cost, as the foundation of the partnership.
Six Reasons to Partner with Northern Data Solutions
Independent 3rd-Party Credibility
Objective validation your clients, their auditors, and their cyber insurers trust — because it comes from a neutral, independent party, not the MSP managing the environment.
Sell More Services
A natural upsell path from a single pentest into Cyberwatch Advanced, Compliance-as-a-Service, and vCISO — turning a one-time assessment into a full stack of recurring, high-margin services.
White-Labeled Delivery
Client-ready reports and a remediation portal you present as your own — reinforcing your brand while Northern Data Solutions delivers the deep security expertise behind the scenes.
Own Environment Evaluated
Your MSP gets assessed first, at no cost — giving you direct experience of the product, a validated posture, and the confidence to sell from personal proof.
Control & Visibility
A single remediation portal gives you centralized oversight across every client environment — real-time findings, risk scores, and trend analytics in one place.
No New Overhead
No need to hire pentesters or compliance staff. Northern Data Solutions is your extended bench — delivering expert capacity without adding headcount or internal complexity to your MSP.
How MSPs Sell More with Cyberwatch
One complimentary introductory assessment opens the door — and the findings do the selling. Here's how a single client engagement creates a full stack of recurring services.
The complimentary introductory vulnerability and gap assessment is a genuine, real-world pentest across 5–10 endpoints with a risk report delivered in 2–3 business days. That single engagement surfaces the gaps that justify Cyberwatch Advanced (IAM, adaptive MFA, Zero Trust, Least Privilege, attack surface visibility, password rotation, security training), Compliance-as-a-Service (CMMC, FTC Safeguards, PCI, HIPAA), and vCISO executive guidance. One conversation starter. A full stack of recurring services.
The Remediation Engine — Powered by Cyberwatch
The Cyberwatch remediation portal at cyberwatch.northerndatasolutions.com is where MSPs take operational control. It is the single pane of glass across every client you bring into the program.
Centralized Findings
All client findings consolidated in one portal — no juggling spreadsheets or disparate tools across your book of business.
Risk-Scored Prioritization
Findings ranked by risk so your team and your clients always know what to fix first — driving faster outcomes and demonstrable value.
Guided Runbooks
Step-by-step remediation guidance means your technicians execute with confidence — no deep security expertise required on your side.
One-Click Retest & Validation
Confirm remediation is complete with on-demand retesting — turning closure into billable proof of work you can show clients and insurers.
Trend Analytics & Reporting
White-labeled reports and trend analytics demonstrate ongoing risk reduction over time — the evidence your clients need for cyber insurance and compliance reviews.
Billable, Recurring Work
Remediation tracking transforms findings into a structured, ongoing engagement — moving your MSP from reactive break-fix to proactive, retainer-based security delivery.
A Two-Way Referral Relationship
The Proactive Advanced Security Partnership is built on genuine reciprocity. Both parties grow — and every referral strengthens the relationship rather than creating competition.
