What compliance could be worth to your MSP
Your clients are being asked for Essential 8 maturity levels and SMB1001 certificates by government panels, enterprise customers and cyber insurers. Most MSPs already do the underlying security work. Far fewer bill for it. Set your own client count and price to see what the service line is worth.

How this is calculated. Billings are simply your client count multiplied by your price, over twelve months. Margin applies the percentage you set. Nothing here predicts how many clients you will actually close. It shows what the service line is worth at the numbers you enter.

Why most MSPs never start
It is usually arithmetic, not appetite. Assessing and evidencing every control by hand takes 25 to 35 minutes per control, per client, every cycle. At Essential 8 ML2 that is over 50 hours a client, which costs more in engineer time than you could reasonably charge. The service does not pay for itself, so it never gets built. Automating the assessment is what makes the margin above realistic. See what manual assessment costs.
