About

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 increasingly asked for external evidence alongside the self-reported security questionnaire — scan reports, configuration screenshots, proof that DMARC was enforced, ports were closed, and SSL certificates were valid.

Enterprise security-ratings platforms are typically sold through annual enterprise contracts with pricing quoted per customer rather than published. 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 is $99/month, listed publicly.

ComplianceLayer fills that gap. A single API call scans any domain across 15 scan modules and returns an A–F graded report, typically in under a minute. No agents to install, no sales calls, no annual contracts. Plans start at $0.

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.
