32 - The £100M MSP Opportunity
The UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will reshape the channel.
For years, MSPs operated without mandatory cybersecurity standards-even though they held privileged access to networks, backups, identities and sensitive data. That changed after a series of high-impact incidents showed that MSP compromise is now a national-level risk.
Two events accelerated the government’s decision:
•2024 Ministry of Defence payroll breach: attackers accessed military personnel data via an MSP.
•Synnovis ransomware attack: caused 11,000+ cancelled NHS appointments and a £32.7m impact.
As a result, MSPs are now classified as critical connective digital infrastructure, bringing them under formal ICO regulation for the first time.
Around 1214 UK MSPs are expected to be in scope. This includes providers offering:
•IT management
•Helpdesk services
•Cybersecurity services
•Cloud, identity, or data-access management
If you manage or secure client environments, you are almost certainly included.
This creates a sharp divide: MSPs who can prove compliance and resilience and those who cannot.
Thanks for listening!
