Why Every MSP Needs a 'Mission Plan' for Remediation

The Remediation Gap

Most MSPs are good at finding security issues. The challenge is turning findings into fixes:

• Reports pile up without action
• Remediation lacks prioritization
• Client approval delays fixes
• No tracking of progress

The Mission Plan Approach

A "mission plan" is a structured approach to remediation:

1. Prioritize Ruthlessly Not everything needs to be fixed immediately. Focus on: - Known exploited vulnerabilities - Internet-facing exposures - Issues affecting critical systems

2. Create Actionable Tasks Translate technical findings into specific, assignable tasks with clear steps.

3. Get Client Buy-In Present findings in business terms. Get approval for remediation work.

4. Track Progress Maintain visibility into what's fixed, what's in progress, and what's blocked.

5. Verify Fixes Re-scan after remediation to confirm issues are actually resolved.

Building the Workflow

Integrate security findings with your PSA or ticketing system. Automate where possible.
