Syncro and Guardz Partner to Embed Cybersecurity into MSP Workflows
Syncro and Guardz announced a partnership to integrate cybersecurity capabilities directly into managed service provider (MSP) workflows. The collaboration embeds Guardz’s security platform into Syncro’s IT management environment, allowing MSPs to access threat detection, protection and remediation tools within their existing workflows. The goal is to reduce the need for separate security tools and streamline operations. The partnership allows MSPs to purchase, provision and bill Guardz directly within Syncro and eliminates context-switching that usually slows response times.
Syncro provides remote monitoring and management (RMM) and professional services automation (PSA) software for MSPs. By integrating security functions, the platform is designed to help providers manage both IT operations and cybersecurity from a single interface. Together with the Guardz platform that offers 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) capabilities on selected plans, MSPs can deliver comprehensive security coverage to clients.
Guardz focuses on delivering security solutions tailored for MSPs and small to midsize businesses. The integration aims to simplify how providers deliver security services while improving response times to threats. MSPs are increasingly expected to deliver integrated security alongside IT services. Once the integration is live, detected threats automatically become Syncro tickets, giving teams full visibility into security incidents through the same system they use for day-to-day service delivery.
