What do you like best about Cynomi vCISO Platform?

Ease of use and no over-complication of functions. I have used compliance platforms from other industry leaders. While those solutions were good, they often are prohibitively expensive and they often over complicate the task at hand. Cynomi works very well and is constantly evolving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cynomi vCISO Platform?

My only dislike was I didn't discover it sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cynomi vCISO Platform:

Talk candidly with the vendor about your needs. I have found everyone to be very helpful and candid with no false promises. I would encourage usage of the solution within your practice to be limited to those with experience in governance and security leadership. Understanding the importance of information security and risk governance in your client environments is step #1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cynomi vCISO Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Repeat after me. No More Spreadsheets! Seriously... Before Cynomi, spreadsheets for tracking and aligning with best-practice and compliance frameworks were spreadsheet-heavy. Now, with the ability of the Cynomi platform to allow us to combine and harmonize across multiple frameworks and compliance regulations, things flow much smoother. Coupled with our professional services for advisory and assistance, the Cynomi platform helps immensely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cynomi vCISO Platform?

Any MSP with a good understanding of security can deploy and use this platform with their customers to build or expand an existing MSSP practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cynomi vCISO Platform?

There are very few downsides: the platform is meticulously maintained and constantly updated with new features, functionality, and updated questionnaires for any changes that need to reflect new requirements of security and compliance baselines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cynomi vCISO Platform:

If you are an MSP looking to create or expand your MSSP practice, I would consider Cynomi. Everyone cares about security these days, but you may have customers who are also looking to meet or maintain compliance baselines as well. Cynomi allows you to do both with a single assessment tool. Put this tool in the hands of your engineers and allow them to work with your customers to identify the areas most important to them. We have had success reselling this tool as a subscription to customers with dedicated IT staff and adding this as a part of a larger managed service offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cynomi vCISO Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cynomi is helping us perform and maintain security and compliance assessments for our customers looking to achieve higher security (NIST, CMC, CIS, etc.) and/or meet compliance baselines (GDPR, SOC2, ISO27001, etc.). The platform provides an easy-to-use interface with real-time dashboards and reporting so our customers can see their progress over time. With Cynomi, we build and assign tasks to resources based on the results of easy-to-understand assessments that help identify areas of deficiency without complex language or legalese. We have had success using this platform as an MSSP as well as reselling to customers to perform their own assessments and remediation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cynomi vCISO Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

My customers sometimes struggle with what they are missing and what to do next.
