Managed service providers sit at the heart of digital transformation. They keep the infrastructure running, protect the data and, increasingly, they are the first people their clients turn to when a new regulation lands on the desk. The 2026 theme of MSP Global, Serve Your Ecosystem, captures this perfectly: success is no longer about a single service, but about the value an MSP creates for everyone around it.
Compliance has become a core part of that value. That is exactly why we, the StartComply team, will be participating in MSP GLOBAL 2026 as speakers and exhibitors. With a speaking presence and our own exhibition booth, we will contribute to the conversation on compliance and connect directly with the managed services community. The conference runs on 21-22 October 2026 at PortAventura, near Barcelona, Spain, and we are coming to connect with the managed services community where the future of the industry is being shaped.

Why we are speaking and exhibiting at MSP GLOBAL
We are joining the event to share our expertise, showcase our compliance platform and build partnerships. MSP Global is a vendor-neutral festival that brings together MSPs, MSSPs, resellers, systems integrators and the technology partners that support them, and it is one of the few places where the entire ecosystem is in the same room at the same time.
Our goal is simple. Through our speaking participation and conversations at our booth, we want to explore how providers across Europe are helping their clients meet NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001, and demonstrate how StartComply can become part of their toolkit, so that compliance turns into a service they can offer with confidence rather than a problem they have to firefight. As a solution built within a strong Acronis partner ecosystem, MSP Global is a natural meeting point for us and for the partners we work alongside.

Why compliance belongs in the MSP conversation
For a growing number of businesses, the managed service provider is the first line of defence and the first point of contact for any question about regulation. When a client asks what NIS2 means for them, whether DORA applies, or how to get ready for an ISO 27001 audit, the MSP is expected to have an answer.
Compliance is no longer a box to tick. For MSPs, it is a recurring, high-trust service and a real growth opportunity.
That puts compliance squarely inside the MSP value proposition. Done well, it is more than an obligation; it is a recurring, high-trust service and a real revenue opportunity. The challenge is that compliance is often handled with scattered documents, manual checklists and one-off consultancy, which does not scale across a portfolio of clients.
This is where StartComply fits in. It gives providers a complete, automated way to take a client from the initial assessment all the way to certification, and then to keep them continuously ready with ongoing monitoring. In other words, it lets an MSP offer compliance as a managed service, the same way it already offers backup, security and support.
Who should meet us at our booth
MSP Global 2026 brings together the entire managed services ecosystem. We would especially like to meet:
- MSPs and MSSPs who want to add compliance to their service portfolio
- Resellers and systems integrators looking for a scalable compliance solution
- Technology vendors and partners in the security and data protection space
- IT leaders exploring their NIS2, DORA or ISO 27001 readiness
- Anyone who believes, as we do, that compliance should be built into the ecosystem rather than bolted on at the last minute
If that sounds like you, visit the StartComply booth during the conference, or get in touch in advance so we can set aside time to talk. We look forward to meeting you and sharing insights from our participation as speakers.
