Security Testing for MSPs
Add security testing to your stack without the channel conflict. We deliver CREST penetration testing and Cyber Essentials for your clients — under an explicit non-compete, so we never sell them managed services or touch the account.
Security testing for your clients
Your clients increasingly ask for penetration tests and Cyber Essentials — for tenders, insurers and their own customers. Building that capability in-house is expensive and hard to keep independent. We deliver it for you: CREST-accredited testing and IASME certification, presented under your brand or introduced as your specialist partner.
Our non-compete, in writing
The reason MSPs hesitate to bring in a security partner is obvious: they don't want that partner poaching the account. So we put it in writing. We test and certify; we do not sell your clients managed services, monitoring, or IT support, and we don't approach them independently. You own the relationship — we're the specialist you bring in.
Why MSPs are under the spotlight too
You administer clients' networks, identities, backups and devices, which raises standards across many businesses — but it also concentrates risk, and government has noticed. The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill puts more weight on managed and digital-service providers. Holding Cyber Essentials Plus yourself is fast becoming table stakes for winning and keeping clients, and we can certify your own MSP as readily as your clients.
How the partnership works
Straightforward: you introduce the requirement, we scope honestly with you (or directly with the client, your call), deliver the test or certification, and hand you a clean, board-ready report you can pass on. No bench of juniors, no account managers — a senior tester who makes you look good in front of your client.

Tell us what you are dealing with and we will tell you honestly what you need. We work with organisations in your sector regularly, so the conversation starts from what is normal for you rather than from a generic checklist.
Common questions
Will you try to take our clients?
No — and we'll sign it. Our non-compete says we deliver testing and certification only; we don't sell your clients managed services, monitoring or IT support, and we don't approach them independently. You keep the relationship.
Can the work be white-labelled?
Yes. We can deliver under your brand or as your named specialist partner, whichever you prefer. Reports can be presented so your client sees you bringing in the right expert.
Do MSPs need Cyber Essentials Plus themselves?
Increasingly, yes. You hold privileged access to many client environments, which concentrates risk, and clients and their insurers now ask whether their MSP is certified. CE Plus is becoming a competitive necessity. We set out what this means for providers on Cyber Essentials for MSPs.
How do we price it to our clients?
However you like — we quote you a clear fixed price and you set your own margin, or we bill the client directly and pay a referral fee. Both are fine; we agree it up front.

Understand your exposure
An attacker’s first move is not an attack, it is a look. So we look first, and send you what we find, worst first.
- Services and ports you did not know were open
- Security misconfigurations on anything public facing
- Known vulnerabilities already indexed by engines like Shodan
- Company credentials sitting in known breach data
The only question is: do you know where and how to look?
We reply within one business day. Prefer to talk first? 01902 288763 or info@solusec.co.uk.
Nothing is touched on your systems. It is all public and already indexed, just scattered. We pull it together, which is what an attacker does first.
