Blacksmith InfoSec and Liongard Launch Strategic Integration to Simplify MSP Compliance Audits
The Californer/10320195

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Blacksmith InfoSec, a leading provider of compliance automation for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), today announced a new integration with Liongard that streamlines user audit reporting across multiple platforms. This partnership enables MSPs to automate comprehensive user audits directly from Liongard's connected systems, dramatically reducing manual effort and delivering actionable, business-friendly reports.

Moving Beyond Check-the-Box Compliance

Unlike conventional Compliance-as-a-Service platforms that focus on asset lists or static reports, the Blacksmith InfoSec-Liongard integration generates dynamic, user-focused audit reports that simplify user audit reviews and support security program governance. MSPs can now deliver complete, audit-ready documentation without pulling manual exports, reconciling spreadsheets, or deciphering technical reports.

"Traditional auditing tools often overwhelm decision-makers with technical noise, making it difficult to identify real risks," said Jared Casner, Co-Founder of Blacksmith InfoSec. "Our integration with Liongard flips that model by presenting clear, actionable information tied directly to user accounts, helping MSPs and their clients make faster, more informed decisions."

Bridging Compliance and Real-World Security

The joint solution addresses a persistent challenge for MSPs: turning complex system data into meaningful compliance evidence. By focusing on user access rights and privilege management, the integration helps MSPs streamline business communication with respect to user audits.

"For MSPs, this integration isn't just about checking compliance boxes it's about actually moving the needle on security," said Callen Sapien, Chief Product Officer at Liongard. "Blacksmith InfoSec brings real compliance know how, and Liongard offers the deep system visibility MSPs rely on. Together, we're giving MSPs a way to deliver real security improvements for their clients not just more paperwork, but a better security posture every time they run an audit."
