What is Assurix's mission?

To raise the bar for security and accountability across the MSP community and help the good MSPs win, by giving them a way to prove how they run rather than only claim it.

Why did Mit Patel build Assurix?

He watched strong, well-run MSPs lose work to weaker ones because buyers could not tell them apart. Promises had replaced proof and nobody was checking. Assurix closes that gap.

Is the trustmark the same as ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials?

No. It is its own certification run by Assurix. Assurix also lets MSPs track frameworks like CE+ and ISO 27001 separately in the platform, but the trustmark is distinct and continuously monitored.

How is the trustmark verified?

Independently by Assurix, a third party, so the proof does not come from the MSP's own marketing. It is 59 controls, all required to pass, audited annually with continuous monitoring between audits.

Q: What happens if a control fails?

The MSP has 30 days to remediate. If it is not fixed, the trustmark is publicly suspended and disappears from the MSP's listing. That consequence is what makes it meaningful.
