So, how do you choose the best MSSP?
First, learn what an MSSP is. MSSPs are outside experts in cybersecurity who keep an eye on and take care of your company’s security. They protect your data, stop hackers, and act quickly when new threats come up. Their job is to stay one step ahead of attackers so you don’t have to.
Wyrdex is one of the best MSSPs in Norway and Sweden for businesses. We don’t just deal with cyber threats; we stop them before they happen. Our team offers a full range of cybersecurity services, from NIS2 compliance and penetration testing to infrastructure security and managed SOC, all tailored to your needs.
Things to Think About When Choosing Your MSSP
1. Certifications and knowledge that have been proven
Your MSSP should be able to show that they have the right training and experience in the real world. Find providers with certified professionals, like those with CISSP, CEH, or OSCP. Look at their experience in the field, client references, and case studies.
Wyrdex hires people who have been working in cybersecurity for decades. We’ve found weaknesses before hackers could use them to attack and helped businesses get back on their feet after ransomware attacks.
2. Watch and respond 24/7
Your MSSP shouldn’t sleep either, because threats don’t. It’s important to keep an eye on things all the time and respond right away. If you wait hours to respond, you could lose everything.
Wyrdex’s SOC works all day, every day. Our team keeps an eye on your systems in real time, looks into alerts, and stops threats right away, even if it’s 2 AM.
3. Services that can grow and be changed
Every business is different. Your MSSP should not offer packages that work for everyone. Instead, they should offer solutions that are tailored to your needs.
Wyrdex makes security solutions that fit your business, the rules of your industry, and your level of risk, whether you’re a small store or a large company. Your protection grows as you do.
4. Help with compliance and regulations
Can your MSSP help you follow NIS2, GDPR, or ISO 27001 rules? Following the rules isn’t just about avoiding fines; it’s also about showing clients and partners that you can be trusted.
Wyrdex is all about following the rules. We write policies, reports, and other documents that get your business ready for inspections and audits. We know what auditors want, and we give it to them.
5. Clear reporting and communication
Do you know what your MSSP is up to? You should. There is no room for negotiation when it comes to clear communication and regular reporting.
Wyrdex offers easy-to-use dashboards, weekly reports, and strategy calls once a month. We talk about risks, point out areas for improvement, and show measurable results without using jargon.
6. Threat Intelligence and Defense Before It Happens
The best MSSPs don’t wait for attacks; they plan for them.
Wyrdex stops threats before they get worse by using AI-based detection, real-time threat intel feeds, and continuous vulnerability scanning. Why wait for ransomware when you can stop it?
7. Being in one place but having a global reach
You need an MSSP that knows your area but also has a global perspective.
Wyrdex works all over Scandinavia. We know about local threats, speak Norwegian, Swedish, and English, and follow both EU and national rules for cybersecurity.
8. Cost-effectiveness and return on investment
Cybersecurity isn’t a cost; it’s an investment in keeping your business going.
Think about this: Can the MSSP cut down on downtime? Avoid fines? Keep the brand’s good name?
Wyrdex gives you a real return on investment by stopping losses, keeping uptime, and earning your customers’ trust. Our prices are clear, flexible, and based on real value.
9. Planning for incident response and recovery
An MSSP should find threats and also help you get back on your feet.
Wyrdex makes detailed plans and playbooks for dealing with phishing, ransomware, insider threats, and other types of attacks. We do tabletop drills and readiness checks to make sure you’re ready when something goes wrong.
10. Training and awareness of security
You can’t rely on technology alone to keep you safe. Employees are often the weakest link.
That’s why all of Wyrdex’s plans come with training for users. We do phishing tests, keep track of how many people respond, and teach your team all the time. Your first line of defense is a trained staff.
11. Works well with current IT systems
Your MSSP should work well with your tech stack, not against it.
Wyrdex works with Microsoft 365, AWS, Google Cloud, VMware, Cisco, and many other services. We connect to your firewalls, SIEMs, and endpoint tools to protect everything at once. There is no interruption, only improvement.
12. Always getting better
Every day, cyber threats change. Your defenses should change too.
Wyrdex keeps improving your cybersecurity posture all the time. We change with your business, new rules, and new threats. Our quarterly reviews make sure that your plan is still effective and up to date.
Questions to Ask Your MSSP
How do you find threats that have just happened?
How long does it usually take you to respond?
Can you help with audits to make sure you’re following the rules?
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
How often do you test your plans for getting back on track?
Will we have an account manager just for us?
Can we make services bigger or smaller?
Keep looking if a provider can’t answer these questions with confidence.
The dangers of picking the wrong MSSP
It can be worse to have the wrong MSSP than to not have one at all. Poor communication, slow responses, lack of visibility, and one-size-fits-all solutions put your business at risk.
Don’t ever make a choice just based on price. It’s not safe to cut corners when it comes to cybersecurity. The right MSSP keeps your business, your customers, and your future safe.
