Blackpoint Cyber Launches CompassOne to Unify Security Posture for MSPs

Blackpoint Cyber has launched CompassOne, a Unified Security Posture and Response platform designed to enhance cybersecurity for organizations. This innovative platform, unveiled at the RSA Conference 2025 and Kaseya Connect 2025, combines proactive and reactive security measures, aiming to streamline operations and reduce costs.
Compass One is designed to unify cybersecurity — not just detection and response, but prevention, compliance, and recovery posture, all in one system. It’s built around the idea that attacks don’t happen in silos, so our defenses shouldn’t either.

Compass One is built with full context: it ties together assets, users, vulnerabilities, and cloud applications into a single view. It doesn’t just show you risks — it shows you which ones matter most based on who owns the device and how critical they are.

If you buy in, you get six main modules:  unified asset management, detection and response, compliance tracking, application control for whitelisting, vulnerability management, and cloud posture management for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Duo accounts.

Missing today? Backup. They’re planning partnerships or integrations to close that gap — but it’s not part of the platform yet.
Price-wise, Essentials — the detection-and-response-only version — runs about $2.50 a device. The full platform — called Standard — is closer to $9.50 a device at retail, but expect real-world pricing around six to seven bucks depending on volume.

Why do we care?

A couple of other notes: Blackpoint is taking a channel-first sales approach, focusing on MSP partnerships, and while they haven’t launched heavy AI features yet, it’s clear they’re building toward using AI for risk prioritization and action recommendations down the line.
It’s definitely RMM-adjacent — they’re pulling asset data and doing vulnerability scans — but the play here is not replacing RMMs. Instead, it’s about moving MSPs up the stack: helping them quantify and prove security maturity to their customers, not just install another tool.

It’s a different flavor in the growing “security platform” race for MSPs. Now it’s a question of whether the market will bite.
