vCIO Hero + CIS Controls • a perfect match

CIS gives you the structure. vCIO Hero gives you the stage, the script, and the scoreboard. Together, they turn “security talk” into a repeatable client experience.

The MSP reality: CIS is hard when it lives in spreadsheets

What breaks most CIS rollouts

Findings are scattered across tools, notes, and docs.
Presentations take too long to assemble.
Clients get overwhelmed: too many items, not enough story.
Recommendations don’t become decisions.
Roadmaps don’t become recurring progress.

The hidden culprit: not the framework. The delivery engine.

CIS needs a consistent way to present, manage, and repeat (quarterly cadence).

Why CIS works (and what it needs to land)

The CIS promise (what clients want)

A common language for cyber hygiene and risk reduction.
Prioritization: what to do first, next, later.
Measurable progress over time.

Keep CIS stakeholder-friendly: “We’re improving posture, reducing risk, and building a realistic roadmap.”

What CIS needs

A polished presentation surface.
Structured findings with priority and ownership.
Decision aids: investment vs impact.
Roadmap tracking (not one-and-done).

Track

Turn the plan into a roadmap and revisit it in recurring vCIO meetings.

What clients experience

Clear narrative, not a technical dump.
Priorities they can approve.
A roadmap they can fund and follow.

What MSPs gain

Use cases: add proof to the CIS story

Data / asset	How it helps in a CIS conversation	Outcome
Microsoft Secure Score	Quantifies posture and shows measurable progress over time.	Momentum + executive buy-in
Network diagram	Makes risk and dependencies visible (segmentation, exposure, critical paths).	Fewer surprises
Microsoft licensing	Aligns features to needs (security controls, identity, compliance).	Smarter investment
Device warranties	Supports lifecycle planning and reduces operational risk.	Planned refresh cycles

The magic move: tie every data point back to a decision, not just a dashboard.

Call to action

One-liner for your webinar:
“CIS gives us the best-practice map. vCIO Hero turns that map into a client journey, with a presentation, decisions, and a roadmap.”

Next steps for MSPs

Start with a light CIS-aligned audit (10–15 minute intake).
Present a concise status summary (max 20 items).
Use vCIO Hero to drive decisions and track progress quarterly.
