Common Cybersecurity Gaps in MSPs
Mid-sized MSPs often face hidden cybersecurity gaps. These gaps appear when internal teams are spread thin and do not have the capacity to monitor threats 24/7.
In the UK, cybercriminals frequently target SMEs because they suspect weaker defenses. With limited resources, keeping pace with new threats can be a real challenge.
The Risks of Not Having 24/7 Monitoring
Cybercriminals do not clock out at 5 PM. A single missed alert can become a data breach, potentially costing your company and your clients millions.
In fact, studies show that 43% of cyberattacks target smaller businesses, but many remain undetected for weeks. Without a round-the-clock protective shield, a breach could damage your reputation, trigger regulatory fines, and cause serious downtime.
Financial and Reputational Damages from Missed Threats

The financial toll of a cyberattack can exceed £2.5 million on average, and that figure keeps rising. Even if the breach is minor, clients may lose trust.
Credibility and customer loyalty suffer when an MSP cannot provide the reliability and expertise expected. Proactive measures mean you avoid those costly hits to your bottom line and your brand image.
Actionable Tips: Closing the Gaps
- Perform regular risk assessments: Identify the most vulnerable systems first.
- Adopt advanced threat detection: Automate alerts and updates to respond faster.
- Establish incident response plans: Clearly define who does what when an alert is triggered.
- Seek expert help: A Managed SOC solution, like Threatproof, can offer innovation and reliability at a fraction of an in-house cost.
