Choosing your MSP/MSSP Services

October 8, 2025 By Carlin Dornbusch

Now that you have decided to use an MSP/MSSP, more detailed thoughts can be put towards “dialing-in” your specific MSP/MSSP services. We have found an easy way to break down this vast area of services is to think about a pancake layer of Infrastructure, IT, Security, Strategy and then Compliance. At ACSM we call this a Secure Information Technology Environment (S.I.T.E). We then look at each area and break them down into sub-components. This allows the IT leader to think through their specific needs more easily. You can see a diagram of these areas and our breakdown here: https://www.americancsm.com/acsm-s-i-t-e-msp-mssp-services/

Areas of Consideration as you look across the pancake layers:

  • What unique and specific needs of IT do you have now?
  • Do you have enough security? Are you considering all of your threats?
  • Look at Backup and Recovery and Ransomware Protection
  • How much Compliance Support do you need?
  • Focus on Resiliency for critical solutions
  • Use the lens of Incident Management when looking at your architecture

Here at ACSM we can help you define your proper architecture and cut through a lot of the vendor hype in the market. Our strategic consulting can help you save time and money, as well as build resilient and highly secured environments.

How ACSM helps with its S.I.T.E. Offering:
