For UK Businesses | Assurix - Find Verified MSPs

Find a managed service provider you can trust. Assurix verifies MSP security practices so you can choose with confidence.

Does your IT provider deserve your trust?

Your managed service provider has full administrative access to your business systems, your data, and often your email. They can see your files, your client information, and your financial records. Choosing the wrong one is one of the most significant risks a UK business can take.

The problem with trusting on faith

Most businesses have no way to verify that their MSP is doing what they claim. Annual Cyber Essentials certificates are over twelve months old the moment they are issued. Testimonials and case studies are curated. Without independent, continuous verification, you are trusting on faith.

Without verification: Hoping for the best

• No visibility into real practices
• Trusting what websites say
• One-time audits that expire
• Guesswork and gut feelings

With Assurix: Confidence backed by evidence

• Live verification of 60+ controls
• Ongoing assurance, not point-in-time
• Independent, third-party checks
• Clear status you can trust

What the Assurix trustmark means

An MSP with an Assurix trustmark has been independently verified against 65+ security and operational controls, continuously. Not once a year. Continuously. If their practices slip, their status is suspended until they fix the issue. This means the trustmark you see today reflects how they are operating today.

How much do you really know about your MSP?

• Do you know what security controls your MSP follows?
• Can you see evidence of regular patching and updates?
• Do you know their response time for critical issues?
• Have they tested your backup recovery recently?
• Would they welcome independent verification?

What to look for in an MSP

• Multi-factor authentication enforced on every account, including admin accounts
• Regular, tested backups that include Microsoft 365 data
• A tested incident response plan with named roles
• Separate admin accounts for privileged access
• A documented change management process
• Named accountability for cybersecurity at the MSP

The buyer journey

From uncertain (all MSPs look the same) to researching (looking for proof) to evaluating (comparing evidence) to verified (found a trusted MSP) to confident (ongoing assurance).

FAQ

Do you replace our MSP? No. Assurix is not an IT provider. We independently verify MSPs so you can make informed decisions about who manages your technology.
