Security scanning that MSPs can actually afford.
ComplianceLayer exists because the cyber insurance industry changed the rules, and the existing tools were built for the wrong audience.
Why ComplianceLayer exists
In 2025, cyber insurance carriers stopped accepting self-reported security questionnaires. They started requiring evidence — scan reports, configuration screenshots, proof that DMARC was enforced, ports were closed, and SSL certificates were valid.
The tools that provide this evidence — BitSight, SecurityScorecard, UpGuard — charge $15,000 to $30,000+ per year. They're designed for Fortune 500 procurement teams, not for an MSP managing 50 SMB clients who each need a scan before their insurance renewal.
ComplianceLayer fills that gap. A single API call scans any domain across 16 security modules and returns an A–F graded report in under 60 seconds. No agents to install, no sales calls, no annual contracts. Plans start at $0.
Built by an infrastructure engineer
30 years of infrastructure engineering experience. Built ComplianceLayer because the MSPs and small security teams he worked with couldn't justify enterprise pricing for something that should be a simple API call.
What we scan
