Why an independent check

An independent audit of your IT environment, at a fraction of the cost

Most MSP contracts are scoped around technology delivery: infrastructure, helpdesk, connectivity. Governance, cybersecurity oversight, and compliance responsibilities often sit outside that scope. That’s not a failing on their part; it’s how the contracts are written.

The issue is that those unscoped responsibilities don’t disappear. They sit in a gap between what you assume is covered and what actually is. Regulators and auditors don’t distinguish between a gap that was overlooked and one that was managed.

A traditional cyber audit would find these gaps but costs $50K+, takes 6 to 8 weeks, and produces a technical report written for an IT team. The end-to-end check gives finance leaders the same picture: independent, structured, and in business language.

What you get

Clarity on your IT position in 30 minutes over 2 weeks

A clear map of who owns what

70 IT responsibilities mapped across 8 domains. For each one: whether it’s yours, your MSP’s, shared, or currently unowned.

Next steps you can act on immediately

Prioritised recommendations in business language. You don’t need an IT team to action them. That’s the point.

Something to take to the board

Output structured for executive presentation, grounded in the same frameworks used in enterprise IT governance.

A documented governance record

Evidence that you reviewed your IT position independently. Relevant for auditors, insurers, and regulators.

A better MSP relationship

A shared, agreed map of responsibilities removes ambiguity on both sides. Good MSPs welcome it; it validates their work and clarifies the boundary.

A living system, not a shelf report

Your end-to-end check data flows directly into the Lumenas platform, so your picture of IT responsibility stays current as your business evolves.

FAQs

We have cyber insurance. Doesn’t that cover us?–

Insurance covers some costs after an incident, subject to policy conditions being met. It doesn’t cover regulatory penalties, and insurers are increasingly requiring evidence of governance practices at underwriting. The end-to-end check supports both.

Our MSP recently did a review. Is that enough?+

An MSP review tells you what they cover. The end-to-end check gives you an independent view of the full picture, including what sits outside their scope.

Will this affect our MSP relationship?+

In our experience, the opposite. Good MSPs welcome independent validation; it confirms what they’re delivering and gives both parties a shared, agreed map of responsibilities. Most find it improves the working relationship.

How do we know it’s worth $5K?+

You’re spending $150K+ a year on managed services. The end-to-end check gives you the first independent view of what that investment actually covers and where the gaps are. Every pilot has surfaced at least one gap that, left unaddressed, would have cost significantly more.

What does the output look like?+

A responsibility matrix across 8 domains, colour-coded by owner. A prioritised gap list with business-language next steps. A one-page executive summary for your board pack. No technical report.
