Right of Boom is a cybersecurity community purpose-built for managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security services providers (MSSPs). It will partner with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and Antisyphon Training to launch a course for MSPs, helping them master CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls).

The CIS Controls Mastery Course for MSPs will offer an exclusive way for MSPs to demonstrate to existing and prospective customers that they understand how to implement cyber defenses against threat actors effectively.

The course was unveiled at the Right of Boom conference, which took place from Feb. 19 to 21, 2025, in Las Vegas.

“A key aspect of Right of Boom’s mission is to improve the security maturity and profitability of our MSP community– all at an accessible and affordable price,” said Andrew Morgan, founder of Right of Boom. “This comprehensive course is one of the requirements to achieve CIS Controls accreditation through CREST, which is the pinnacle of achievement for MSPs to show competence and mastery in the security industry.”

Right of Boom’s partnership with CIS and Antisyphon will help MSPs deliver the controls at scale. The course will consist of 300 modules, a lab component to demonstrate competence and understanding, and a 100-question test to receive a certificate of completion. It will also include Antisyphon’s Core SOC Skills and Intro to Pen Testing.

“This partnership aims to bring a unique level of resources to MSPs, from Discord channel support to monthly meetups,” said John Strand, founder of Antisyphon. “The collaboration between Antisyphon, CIS, and Right of Boom provides all the tools that MSPs need to become adept at understanding CIS Controls. MSPs will have exclusive access to experts for specific security controls, policies, and regulations.”

CIS Controls are key compliance frameworks for MSPs. This framework, in particular, contains 18 prioritized actions designed to mitigate common and severe cybersecurity threats.

CIS Controls are a blueprint for building a cybersecurity posture, ensuring MSPs can secure their infrastructure and clients’ systems.

Benefits for MSPs with strong CIS Controls include:

Cost-effectiveness and scalable security framework
Actionable but flexible roadmap for risk reduction
Operational security enhancement for MSPs and clients

“The partnership between CIS, Right of Boom, and Antisyphon is the result of previous collaborations with MSPs to help them adopt the CIS Controls,” said Phyllis Lee, VP for content development at CIS. “Over the past five years, it has become apparent that there is a strong demand from MSPs to adopt the globally recognized CIS Controls.”

Compliance plays a significant role in serving regulated clients. Read more about how compliance services help partners in highly regulated industries like financial services and healthcare.
