Telivy

vs. Cynomi (AI vCISO Platform)

• ›Telivy performs real technical discovery (PII, credentials, dark web, M365 config) — Cynomi is primarily a questionnaire-driven vCISO workflow tool with no active scanning
• ›Telivy's Prospecting Module enables unlimited external scans on prospects at no extra cost — Cynomi has no equivalent outbound lead generation capability
• ›Telivy produces a financial risk report ready to hand to a business owner in hours — Cynomi generates compliance frameworks and security programmes targeted at existing clients, not prospects
• ›Telivy leaves no tooling behind — 1-click removal removes prospect friction; Cynomi requires ongoing platform access to deliver value

vs. ConnectWise Identify / Assess

• ›Telivy is a standalone, vendor-neutral tool — ConnectWise Identify is locked to the ConnectWise ecosystem and requires existing platform investment
• ›Telivy's financial risk quantification with dollar-value outputs is purpose-built for non-technical decision-makers — ConnectWise Assess produces technical findings intended for internal use
• ›Telivy includes dark web, credential breach, and PII discovery — ConnectWise Identify focuses on configuration and patch state assessment only
• ›Telivy's Prospecting Module enables cold prospect outreach with zero friction — ConnectWise has no equivalent outbound lead generation tool

vs. SecurityScorecard / BitSight (External Risk Ratings)

• ›Telivy performs internal discovery (PII, credentials, M365 config) in addition to external risk — SecurityScorecard and BitSight are purely external attack surface ratings
• ›Telivy's output is a client-facing assessment report with financial risk context — risk rating platforms produce scores for third-party risk teams, not MSP sales conversations
• ›Telivy covers the full prospect environment in hours with no installation commitment — external rating tools provide passive outside-in views only
• ›Telivy is priced for MSSP scale with unlimited assessments — SecurityScorecard and BitSight are enterprise-priced for procurement and compliance teams

vs. CyberSaint / Risk-based GRC Tools

• ›Telivy performs active technical discovery — GRC tools rely entirely on self-assessed questionnaire responses that clients can game or misreport
• ›Telivy delivers objective, evidence-backed risk findings in hours — GRC platforms require weeks of framework mapping and gap analysis
• ›Telivy is designed for MSSP prospecting and client-facing delivery — GRC tools are built for internal compliance and risk management teams
• ›Telivy's financial risk output speaks directly to business owners — GRC reports are compliance-language documents that rarely drive buying decisions

Converting Cold Prospects with Data-Led Security Conversations

An MSP partner runs Telivy's Prospecting Module on 20 prospect organisations per month at no marginal cost per scan. For each prospect, Telivy generates a financial risk assessment report showing discovered PII exposure, dark web credential findings, and M365 security gaps — with dollar-value risk quantification. The partner uses the report as the opening conversation in a sales call, converting prospects who had previously declined generic security pitches into managed service clients.

Building a Recurring Security Review Cadence for Client Retention

An MSSP delivers annual Telivy security assessments for each managed client, generating an objective benchmark of their security posture. Year-on-year comparison reports demonstrate measurable improvement in PII risk exposure, credential hygiene, and M365 configuration — tangibly proving the value of the managed service. The partner uses this to support renewal conversations and identify upsell opportunities for additional security services.

Justifying a Security Stack Proposal with Financial Risk Evidence

An MSP uses Telivy to assess a prospect who has declined a managed security proposal twice on budget grounds. The Telivy report identifies significant PII exposure with a calculated financial risk that dwarfs the cost of the proposed security stack. Presented in the prospect's language — financial value at risk, not CVE scores — the report creates urgency and justifies the investment. The partner closes the deal using objective third-party evidence rather than vendor claims.

What is the Telivy Prospecting Module?

The Prospecting Module enables unlimited external security scans on prospect organisations at no marginal cost per scan. It generates a financial risk assessment report — covering dark web exposure, credential breach data, and external attack surface findings — designed to be handed directly to a business owner as a conversation opener. Unlike technical vulnerability reports, Telivy's output is written for decision-makers, not IT teams.

What does a full Telivy assessment discover?

A full Telivy assessment discovers: PII data with an estimated financial value at risk, M365 and Google Workspace security configuration gaps, credential strength and known breach exposure, dark web monitoring results, and a complete asset inventory across internal and external surfaces. Results are delivered in hours without requiring extended scoping or lengthy deployment.

Does Telivy leave any software behind on client or prospect systems?

Telivy's assessment agent can be removed with a single click after the assessment completes — leaving no residual tooling on the assessed system. This removes a significant friction point in the prospecting process: organisations that have declined a security tool installation often accept a temporary assessment agent knowing it disappears automatically once the scan is done.

How do MSPs use Telivy to improve client retention?

By running annual or quarterly Telivy assessments for each managed client, MSPs generate objective evidence of security improvements over time — demonstrating ROI on the managed security service in business language. Telivy's financial risk quantification makes renewal conversations straightforward: clients can see measurable improvement in their exposure profile year over year.

Is Telivy suitable for assessing SMB clients?

Yes — Telivy is purpose-built for the SMB and mid-market segment. Its unlimited assessment model means partners can deploy it across their entire SMB client base without per-scan costs. The client-facing reports are specifically designed for non-technical business owners, making it ideal for SMBs where the IT decision-maker and business owner are often the same person.
