Cork Cyber is expanding its reach inside the MSP operational stack through a new integration with ScalePad’s Lifecycle Manager X, aiming to simplify how cybersecurity risk and compliance data are delivered during quarterly business reviews.

Cork Vantage embeds security and compliance data into ScalePad Deliverables

The integration brings Cork Vantage insights directly into ScalePad Deliverables, allowing managed service providers to embed cybersecurity risk, compliance posture, and remediation progress into client-ready QBRs without manual reporting or slide creation. 

The companies say the move is designed to help MSPs shift QBRs away from reactive status updates and toward more strategic, outcome-focused conversations.

For many MSPs, QBR preparation remains a time-intensive process that requires exporting reports from multiple vendor portals and assembling them into presentations. 

While QBRs are intended to align with business goals and future planning, they often become technical reviews due to fragmented data and inconsistent reporting.

The Cork-ScalePad integration is intended to reduce that friction by presenting security insights alongside broader lifecycle data in a single, standardized format.

“I was talking with a partner who works with Cork and ScalePad just last week about this,” Cork CEO Dan Candee told Channel Insider. “They have 700 clients, and their team’s KPIs are based on monthly reviews with each of those clients. It’s a huge amount of time to prepare for those at scale like that.”

“By automating, we believe we’ll be able to save at least an hour per review meeting, and we’ll enable partners to deliver more professional meetings focused on their outcomes, not just the data,” Candee added.

Integration reframes cybersecurity discussions inside MSP QBRs

Through the integration, Cork Vantage reporting appears directly within Deliverables in Lifecycle Manager X. MSPs can surface a high-level snapshot of security and compliance events, including identified risks, resolved issues, and remaining gaps.

This approach allows MSPs to frame cybersecurity discussions in business terms, placing security posture within the context of client goals, budgets, and roadmaps rather than isolating it as a technical afterthought.

Candee said the intersection of Cork Cyber and ScalePad lies in the joint solution’s ability to bring security and financial impact data into a single view, reducing the time required not just to report on security but to advise clients on risk-related business outcomes.

ScalePad CEO Chris Day said the integration aligns with the company’s broader goal of helping MSPs automate and standardize client-facing reviews.

“By integrating Cork Vantage into Deliverables, we’re giving MSPs a clearer, more consistent way to communicate security posture and progress in a format that clients can actually understand and act on,” Day said in a statement.

ScalePad positions Deliverables as a web-based QBR presentation layer

Deliverables is positioned as a live, web-based presentation layer designed for guided client conversations. 

Rather than toggling between dashboards and reports during meetings, MSPs can walk clients through a single presentation that includes lifecycle insights, security data, and planning discussions.

The platform supports password-protected sharing, white-labeled presentation mode, and PDF exports, allowing MSPs to tailor how information is delivered to executives, IT stakeholders, or compliance-focused audiences.

At launch, Lifecycle Manager X includes default report pages for Cork Vantage, enabling MSPs to standardize how cybersecurity reporting appears in QBRs without additional configuration. 

ScalePad and Cork Cyber outline roadmap for deeper MSP integrations

ScalePad and Cork Cyber plan to continue expanding Deliverables with additional customization options and deeper integrations across security, backup, and compliance tools. 

MSPs can request and vote on future integrations through the ScalePad community, helping shape the roadmap based on operational priorities.

Candee and Day have worked together for over a year, Candee told us, and have often asked how they could bring each company’s technology together to drive value for MSPs. Moving forward, Candee says, vendors who collaborate with each other are set up for lasting success alongside their channel partners.

“We are constantly creating ecosystems where our partners ask for them,” Candee said. “I think this year we’ll also see tech companies leveraging AI on behalf of their partners to provide them with lighter and faster tools so the partners don’t have to do it themselves.”
