Why the Shift to MSSPs Matters
Many cybersecurity platforms aim to sell directly to internal IT and cyber teams. The challenge is that most are already overloaded with tools, audits and manual reporting.
It is not a lack of awareness; it is a lack of capacity.
That is why Arco’s focus is evolving. Instead of convincing internal teams to onboard another platform, Arco is empowering Managed Service Providers (MSPs and MSSPs) to integrate assurance-as-a-service directly into their existing offerings.
This approach meets the market where it is ready, through partners who already own the client relationship, understand the environment and can deliver continuous proof of protection.
The Problem MSSPs Face
Most MSSPs operate in a crowded market and face the same structural challenges:
- Competing on near-identical tool stacks
- Reporting activity instead of outcomes
- Struggling to prove ROI to decision-makers
- Losing margin to high-touch service models
The result is that customers often cannot tell one provider from another. They do not want another dashboard. They want proof their business is secure.
The Arco Advantage: Assurance-as-a-Service
Arco enables MSSPs to move from “we manage your tools” to “we prove you are secure”.
That single shift transforms your positioning, pricing power and client relationship.
With Arco, you can:
- Differentiate on outcomes rather than promises. Deliver quantified assurance that no other MSSP can replicate.
- Build trust and retention with white-labelled, board-ready reporting that proves ROI and value.
- Scale efficiently by reducing manual reporting overhead while increasing impact and annuity.
You are not just showing data; you are showing progress, protection and proof.
How It Works: From Baseline to Assure
Arco’s structured delivery model matures alongside your clients and aligns perfectly with your managed service cadence.
1. Baseline
Deliver clarity and momentum in one sprint. In four weeks, your client receives a prioritised roadmap, risk profile and board-ready artefacts.
2. Transform
Operationalise governance, metrics and risk visibility to demonstrate measurable improvement and align investment to assurance.
3. Assure
Continuously validate that controls are working with automated dashboards, executive-ready reports and white-labelled assurance packs.
This maturity-sensitive model ensures you only sell what your client can consume while proving outcomes every step of the way.
Why It Converts
MSSPs who integrate Arco into their offering see higher margins, faster entry and longer-term renewals.
- A four-week sprint customers can easily say yes to
- Board-ready artefacts that can be white-labelled from day one
- Outcome-aligned metrics that match your existing service cadence
- A clear upgrade path from Baseline to Transform to Assure
You deliver value quickly and grow it predictably.
The Bigger Picture: Proof Over Promises
Boards, insurers and regulators now demand continuous proof of cyber effectiveness, not just compliance checklists.
Arco gives MSSPs the power to provide that proof through Outcome-Driven Metrics (ODMs), Protection-Level Agreements (PLAs) and executive-grade reporting that shows what is working, what is not and how to improve.
With Arco, you are not adding another tool to your stack. You are embedding a new category: Outcome-Led Cyber Assurance.
