MSP overview

How does an MSP build a service on the Shield Platform?

An MSP uses Shield Platform products as technology inside its own managed service. BDRShield covers backup and recovery, XDRShield adds endpoint security operations, and ShieldPSA runs tickets, SLAs, and billing. The MSP decides the service scope and the price, licensing is billed monthly in units that follow real usage, and the customer relationship stays with the MSP from first conversation to renewal.
Service portfolio

Four services you can package without four separate vendors.

Most MSPs earn more when one customer buys several connected services instead of one tool. The Shield Platform gives you the building blocks, and you decide how they are bundled, named, and priced.

Managed backupScheduled protection for endpoints, servers, VMs, SaaS and cloud workloads, run from a multi-tenant console.
Managed recoveryRestore drills, recovery reports, and DR runbooks that turn backup into a service customers can see.
Managed endpoint securityMonitoring, case handling and governed response across client endpoints with XDRShield.
Service operationsTickets, SLAs, time capture and invoicing in ShieldPSA so delivery and billing stay connected.
Why MSPs choose this path

Keep the margin, the brand, and the customer.

An MSP invests reputation every time it recommends a vendor. The engagement model is built so that investment stays protected.

01

Pay as customers consume

Monthly units follow usage, so working capital stays available for hiring and growth instead of sitting in a licence commitment.

02

Your customers stay yours

The MSP prices and delivers the service. Shield Platform stays behind it as technology, not as a competitor in the account.

03

Specialists behind early deals

Sizing, architecture, demos and first deployments can be supported while your own team builds depth.

04

Room to widen the offer

Start with backup, then add cyber resilience, readiness reviews or service operations when the customer is ready.

Launch path

From first customer to a repeatable service in five moves.

This is a practical sequence, not a certification gate. Each move can start as soon as a real opportunity exists.

01

Scope

Pick the first customer and the workloads that matter most to them.

02

Package

Decide service tiers, retention, recovery targets and what is included.

03

Onboard

Deploy agents, set policies and place storage with specialist guidance.

04

Prove

Run a restore test and share the result in a customer review.

05

Repeat

Turn the first customer into a template for the next ten.

Partner questions

MSP partner questions

How is licensing billed for MSPs?

Licensing is billed monthly in units that follow the usage of the service you deliver, so cost grows as your customers grow. Optional cloud storage can be added where a customer needs it.

Do I have to share my customer list with the partner team?

No. The MSP delivers and prices its own managed service, and sharing managed-service customer details is not a condition of consuming licensing.

Which products can an MSP combine?

BDRShield for backup and disaster recovery, XDRShield for endpoint security operations, and ShieldPSA for tickets, SLAs, time and billing. Many MSPs begin with one and add the others later.

Can I white-label the service?

BDRShield supports white-label branding with PSA and RMM integration, so the service can be presented under your own name.

Is certification required before I start?

No. Training is available, but a real customer opportunity can move forward while your team builds product depth.
