ALREADY USING AN OUTSOURCED IT PROVIDER?
Check the following sooner rather than later…
For those of you that are already using an outsourced provider such as an MSP (or are considering using one) there are a few things we’d recommend that you check sooner rather than later:
Are MSP’s cloud privileges proportionate to what they’ve been tasked and contracted to do?
Does your SOC (Security Operations Centre), have full visibility of the actions taken on your cloud services by the MSP and their people?
Does the MSP publish evidence that they follow secure administration practices when interacting with your cloud?
Does the named MSP have access to your cloud services, or does it show the name of another organisation?
Does your contract with the MSP require them to inform you of any possible breach that affects your service or data?
Finally, the Joint Cyber Security Advisory (Alert AA22-131A) includes a more detailed set of recommendations that help both MSPs and their customers. We suggest using these recommendations to audit your existing suppliers, and to determine whether appropriate contractual arrangements are in place for new and existing partnerships.

ENABLE DEPARTMENT COLLABORATIONS AND WORKFLOWS
When a department or team uses spreadsheets to manage a workflow such as a team’s workload, fulfilment, or a field service team tracking their jobs. These spreadsheets typically store just enough data to manage the workflow but lack the configuration to track and govern the process.
Consider tools with workflow configurations, and embedded best practices.

GAINING CONFIDENCE IN YOUR MSP
Outsourcing IT services provides both increased benefits and risk to an organisation.
If you’re using an MSP to manage your cloud services, the minimum bar you should aim for is ‘avoid adding unnecessary risk’. You should hold your MSP to the same high standards that you'd expect of cloud providers themselves. Doing so will minimise the security risk.
One way of gaining confidence in an MSP’s cloud offering is to treat them as a cloud provider themselves, and measure how well they operate, measured against the NCSC’s 14 cloud security principles. This approach:
Will consider practical mitigations you should look for (that can complement an assessment of your supply chain security)
Fits quite naturally if they’re providing a service that your organisation consumes (as you’re effectively treating it as SaaS)
A number of the NCSC’s cloud security principles are also relevant for all MSPs that have privileged access to your cloud services (including protective monitoring, secure service administration, and providing audit information for your customers). But it’s useful to acknowledge that we outsource all sorts of things to MSPs, not just cloud provision. You may already be assessing your MSP's wider services using a framework that covers ‘cloud security’; the important thing is that your chosen framework/standard/process gives you reason to have confidence in your supplier’s ability to defend your data and services against attack.
Outsourcing to an MSP can be a great way of making sure that security responsibilities in the cloud are met. Just be sure that you’re consciously holding MSP's to the same high security standards that you hold yourselves (and your cloud provider) to.
