We are very pleased to share our highlight reel from last week’s MSP Show, and genuinely one of our best events yet!
One of the clearest themes from conversations in London was that continuous vulnerability management has become more of a focus for UK MSPs.
That shift is being driven by a few things. Cyber Essentials is putting more emphasis on timely remediation, with vulnerabilities needing to be addressed within a maximum of 14 days. At the same time, customers are becoming more aware that Cyber Security posture isn't a once-a-year exercise. It needs to be visible, current, and actively managed.
For MSPs, that creates both an opportunity and a challenge.
The opportunity is obvious: customers increasingly need help staying secure, compliant, and on top of their exposure.
The challenge is operational: how do you deliver continuous vulnerability management across lots of customers without adding more manual work, more admin, more noise, and more pressure on already stretched teams?
Automation, AI-led prioritisation, clear reporting, user communication, and straightforward remediation workflows are no longer “nice to have”. They are what make continuous vulnerability management practical at scale.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the stand and shared their perspectives throughout the event 🤗
For those that attended, what was your biggest takeaway?

📢 New blog alert!
"From MSP to MIP: The Agentic Shift With Pax8"
Following on from our last post, we've put together a written breakdown on our blog for anyone who would prefer to read through or revisit any points in detail on our conversation with Mostyn Thomas from Pax8 😊
🔗 You can read the full blog here: https://t.co/nL9bs5ALMj
From masterclasses to special appearances such as Snoop Dogg, Mostyn tells us why Pax8 is such a success within the MSP community, while also exploring how MSPs are navigating the AI shift.
We talk about AI experimentation, packaging & pricing, where governance is beginning to play a bigger role, and more... We've included some very useful links in there for you too!
💭 We're very interested in hearing your thoughts on this whole topic!

#RoboShadow #Pax8 #AI #MSP #ManagedIntelligenceProvider #CyberSecurity #Cloud #Microsoft #Claude #MIPplaybook #AgenticAI #TheAgenticShift
Our latest conversation between our CEO, Terry Lewis, and Mostyn Thomas from Pax8 captures some of the thinking that’s starting to shape how MSPs approach AI.
The discussion centres around the shift towards the Managed Intelligence Provider model, and how that links back to the ideas in Pax8’s pioneering MIP Playbook, especially when it comes to packaging, delivering, and monetising new types of services.
There's an undeniable gap between knowing where things are heading and having the time and space to adapt. But MSPs have historically dealt with major changes (such as the shift to Cloud), and in the midst of this next big shift, it's time for all of us to roll up our sleeves.

Keep an eye out as we've got a lot more coming very soon 🔥

If you’re an MSP or IT service provider, you already know cloud and SaaS have eaten away at traditional margins!
Here's a throwback to a video we did a little while back, where our CEO, Terry Lewis, shared the strategies we used to grow our MSP to over £10 million turnover by monetising cyber security services effectively.
Strategies covered:
◆ A daily SecOps remediation process
◆ Offer “read-only” access
◆ Sync with a compliance framework
◆ Pick a “low-noise” platform
◆ How to price services
◆ Different client approaches

🌟 Feature of the week: Configuration Benchmarking and Remediation
RoboShadow’s Benchmark reports are designed to help you with security ‘hardening’, meaning it checks your systems configurations against established standards to ensure they’re set up correctly. The goal is to reduce the potential attack surface for cybercriminals and help you with compliance.
By reviewing your systems against our Configuration Benchmarks, you can:
🔷View configuration pass/fail status across all devices
🔷Browse benchmarks organised by CIS section number
🔷Apply AI AutoFix to automatically remediate failed checks
🔷Track compliance progress over time
➡️ Universal Cyber Benchmarks
Provides 17 Cyber Essentials benchmarks. Each benchmark checks Windows registry settings and system configurations against expected secure values.
➡️ Microsoft 365 CIS Benchmarks (Tenant based)
Evaluates your cloud environment’s alignment with CIS Level 1 & 2 standards for Microsoft 365 services - recognised globally by auditors, compliance frameworks, and security professionals.
Make sure to reach out if you have any questions or feedback! We love hearing from you 😉

It turns out... some of you still don’t know that we do compliance reporting 😲
With recent upgrades (more on that soon), now’s a good time for a quick reminder of how we support you:
To get straight to the point, here’s where we help you in terms of compliance and reporting:
➡️ Compliance framework reporting exports (ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials, HIPAA and more)
➡️ Vulnerability assessment reporting (now automated for faster audit evidence)
➡️ Security posture visibility for audit and compliance support, covering assets, encryption, MFA, configuration, AV and more.
RoboShadow helps MSPs clearly demonstrate security posture, reduce audit stress, and meet regulatory requirements with less manual work.
Essentially, we’ve simplified visibility and compliance for you. Please do reach out to us if you have any questions or feedback on this!

Had a great day last week catching up with Mostyn on all things Pax8, Cyber Security, MIPs, the future of agentic AI, and much more.
Thank you for coming in and livening up the office, and for the amazing company at Gaucho - the steaks were good but the conversations were even better! 🔥
We may have filmed some content in the studio 👀... which will be coming out soon. Keep your eyes peeled!
🌠 NEW BLOG
Cyber governance gets brushed under the rug for a lot of MSPs and SMBs because it’s not seen as a priority, or it feels too complicated. We’re here to un-complicate it for you and tell you why it needs your attention.
One of our more popular videos on YouTube covers the top essential strategies for cyber governance, and we’ve now put together a blog breaking down some of the misconceptions around this in more detail, with practical strategies to make your life easier.
Every single organisation has some level of cyber risk, and there’s no shame in that. What’s important is that it’s understood and documented, and that the people making budget decisions are actually aware of it.
Honestly, the starting point is far simpler than people expect. A clear risk register, even just a structured spreadsheet, can go a long way in making sure vulnerabilities, impact and remediation plans are visible and discussed at the right level.
If it’s something you’re working through (and you should be!), give this a quick read and don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions, we're always happy to help.

💡 Always interested to hear how others are approaching this / handling governance with clients too.
⏰ Patch Friday… oops, we mean Patch Tuesday
(We know we're a little late)
Microsoft’s March Patch Tuesday addressed 84 vulnerabilities, including 2 zero-days and 8 critical flaws. Privilege escalation vulnerabilities make up the biggest portion again this month, with a good number of remote code execution issues mixed in as well.
Two that are worth flagging are CVE-2026-21262 (SQL Server privilege escalation) and CVE-2026-26127 (.NET denial of service), both of which were publicly disclosed before patches were released.
The overall theme this month is the number of privilege escalation bugs across Windows components. These tend to show up once an attacker already has access to a system, so they’re well worth prioritising in the patch queue.
This is also where having good visibility into your externally exposed systems makes life a lot easier when Patch Tuesday rolls around - which, of course, is exactly the sort of thing we built RoboShadow to help with.
We’ve written up a quick breakdown of the key vulnerabilities and what’s worth focusing on this month.
