For Businesses
Is my MSP SPECTRA certified?
Ask them, and check the SPECTRA Map: every certified MSP is listed there, at every certification level, and certification is reviewed annually, not a one-time badge.
What is covered by SpectraCare?
SPECTRA offers performance warranties for certified services that are included in MSP
service offerings. If a certified service fails to perform during a covered cyber event, the
purchased warranty value is refunded to the customer.
Who backs the SpectraCare warranty?
SPECTRA warranties are backed by "A+" rated carriers and structured to comply with
regulatory guidelines.
What does certification tell me about my MSP?
SPECTRA inspects and verifies the MSP’s people, technology, process and performance: verified security controls and current, recognized staff certifications; tools confirmed as actually running and configured correctly, not just licensed; onboarding, change management and incident response protocols reviewed; and the operational track record and client satisfaction analyzed.
What is SpectraCare, and who gets paid?
SpectraCare is a performance warranty on the services SPECTRA has certified. If a certified service fails during a covered cyber event, SPECTRA refunds you directly: no deductible, no loss calculation, no lawyers. Every customer is eligible to receive up to $1,000,000 in warranty value.
Does it change my cyber insurance?
Businesses that license cybersecurity from a certified MSP get a 2-minute insurance application with no technical questionnaire, and a quote within 48 hours for preferred coverage and up to 35% discounted premium from an AM Best A+ rated insurer.
My MSP isn’t certified. What now?
Your insurance agent can refer you to a short list of certified MSPs nearby, or refer your current MSP to SPECTRA to learn about the certification program. You can also get in touch with us directly.
