Most MSPs act as their customers' CISO, but that work's often informal, unbilled, and hard to repeat. Sophos Fusion CISO Advantage gives you a structured, repeatable framework for cybersecurity posture assessments, transcript analysis, and executive reporting.

In this walk-through, you'll see how to license CISO Advantage, run CIS v8 framework assessments, and use Sophos AI to automatically map call transcripts to security controls. You'll also discover how to quickly generate executive-ready Cyber Posture Reports that outline financial risk exposure and prioritized recommendations without spending your whole weekend writing them manually.
