MSP Assure

You're paying your MSP. Do you know what you're getting?

Your provider writes the reports and sets the metrics. Most businesses have no independent way to check whether that adds up to real value.

What MSP Assure does

We check what your provider isn't telling you.

MSP Assure is independent oversight for businesses that use a managed IT provider. An independent consultant assesses what your MSP actually delivers against contract, obligation and best practice — breaking the dependency on your provider marking their own homework. We don't replace your MSP. We make sure they deliver.

Two routes, one outcome

Internal service, external supplier, or both.

Every KHITServices engagement leads to the same outcome — ongoing independent governance through a Virtual Service Delivery Manager (VSDM). MSP Assure is the route for when the question isn't how you manage your own service, but whether the provider you're paying is actually holding up their end.

Standard route

Internal Assurance Partner

Health Check → Briefing → Review → VSDM. Assesses how the business manages its own IT. "We help you run your technology better."

MSP Assure route

External Supplier Assurance Partner

Health Check → Briefing → Review → VSDM. Assesses how your MSP delivers against what's promised. "We make sure your IT provider delivers what you're paying for."

Have both internal gaps and an underperforming MSP? Both routes can run together — your VSDM becomes a Combined Assurance Partner, governing both.

How it works

Four steps, free until you decide to go deeper.

MSP Assure follows the same free Health Check → Briefing → Review structure as the standard route. Your Health Check answers determine whether what follows focuses on your own service, your MSP, or both — Briefing and Review aren't badged differently, just shaped by what you tell us.

01 · Assessment

Health Check

Free. Around 10 minutes. Covers your MSP relationship across five domains: contract & coverage, service levels, reporting & visibility, incident management, and relationship health. You'll identify your provider by name so the assessment is grounded in the actual relationship, not a generic checklist.

02 · Context

Briefing

Free, no charge. A consultant-led session turning your Health Check results into clear findings and a scope sketch for a Review, if one looks worthwhile. No obligation to continue.

03 · Insight

Review

Flat £1,200. An in-depth, independent assessment of what your provider actually delivers — five modules, RAG scoring, and prioritised recommendations covering what your MSP should be doing, isn't, and how to fix it.

04 · Assurance

VSDM — External Supplier Assurance Partner

£500 per engagement day remote, or £750 including one day onsite — most clients use one or two days a month, not every day. Ongoing governance: renegotiating contracts, defining SLAs, improving incident processes, and holding your MSP accountable month by month. Reassessed at 6 months so the improvement is evidenced, not assumed.

The five domains

What the Health Check covers on this route.

  • Contract & Coverage — do you have a contract, and what does it actually cover.
  • Service Levels — are SLAs defined, and do you know what they are.
  • Reporting & Visibility — do you receive reports, and can you interpret them.
  • Incident Management — how incidents are handled, and whether you receive root cause analysis.
  • Relationship Health — how often you meet, and whether there's a real escalation path.
Pricing

Same as the standard route.

Health Check and Briefing are free, no charge, on either route. Review is a flat £1,200 — no headcount banding. VSDM (External Supplier Assurance Partner) is £500 per engagement day remote, or £750 including one day onsite — most clients use one or two days a month.
