TechIDManager vs. RealCISO

Are you implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) universally while permitting your technicians to share administrative accounts? If so, this may indicate that your MFA strategy is not entirely aligned with best practices. Current security protocols recommend that account access should ideally be maintained on a one-to-one basis. Many managed service providers (MSPs) often utilize systems that inadvertently permit technicians to access client environments, diverging from these critical standards. TechIDManager provides an efficient method for establishing and managing your technicians' accounts and credentials across various domains and networks, leading to improved security and cost-effectiveness compared to other existing platforms. This solution supports compliance with multiple security frameworks, including NIST, CMMC, CIS, HIPAA, and PCI. By removing the necessity for shared administrative accounts, it meets contemporary security standards such as NIST 800-171 3.3.2, as well as other regulatory requirements. It also automates the processes of account creation and deactivation, managing rights and permissions, which streamlines operational procedures. Moreover, the tool is designed to tolerate downtime, ensuring that productivity remains uninterrupted. With TechIDManager, you can effortlessly integrate your distinct credentials into client access points, significantly boosting both security and operational efficiency in the process. This proactive approach not only safeguards sensitive information but also fosters a culture of accountability among technicians.

RealCISO is a compliance intelligence platform for two audiences: MSPs and MSSPs managing security across multiple clients, and enterprise teams running compliance in-house. It gives MSPs, MSSPs, consultants, and in-house security teams a single place to run compliance assessments, manage risk, track remediation, and demonstrate security posture to boards and auditors — without the spreadsheet chaos. Built on NIST CSF and mapped to 30+ frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and CMMC, RealCISO turns assessment data into action. Over 3,000 security providers use it to deliver vCISO services at scale. Founded by Brian Haugli — former DoD, former VP & CSO at The Hanover Insurance Group, and co-author of the NIST CSF book published by Wiley — RealCISO was built by practitioners who ran these programs manually and knew there had to be a better way.
