Compliance / PCI-DSS
Any client that takes card payments — a retail shop, a restaurant, a small e-commerce operation — answers to PCI-DSS, and their network security posture is frequently the MSP's responsibility to maintain.
PCI-DSS compliance is often the difference between a client keeping their ability to process card payments and losing it — and the technical controls behind it (network segmentation, patch cadence, vulnerability scanning, access logging) are exactly the kind of work an MSP is already doing, just not always tracked against the framework explicitly.
This describes what the module tracks against PCI-DSS — not a claim that Nexus or any client on it is certified or audited against it. See the compliance & QBR module for the full picture, or read the blog for more on how we think about compliance tooling.
The audit framework a lot of your clients' own customers require them to answer for — and that requirement flows straight down to you as their MSP.
A widely-adopted, vendor-neutral structure for cybersecurity posture — Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover — that shows up in RFPs, cyber-insurance questionnaires, and board conversations alike.
If any client handles protected health information, HIPAA's Security Rule reaches your MSP the moment you touch their systems — business associate agreement or not.
