For MSPs, both tools are powerful additions to the stack. CIPP excels at centralizing Microsoft 365 management and standardization. Guardian360 excels at validating security controls across M365, local networks, and web apps to ensure compliance. Discover how they differ.
CIPP is a must-have for MSPs who need to standardize multiple M365 tenants from a single pane of glass. If your primary goal is operational efficiency—like setting uniform conditional access policies or offboarding users quickly—CIPP is the gold standard for M365 automation.
Choose Guardian360 if you need to prove security posture to auditors. While CIPP helps you do the work, Guardian360 validates that the work meets requirements like NIS2 or ISO 27001. We also cover gaps CIPP doesn't touch, like local network scans.
Better Together
Most mature MSPs use both. CIPP acts as the "Administrative Engine" to deploy settings and manage tenants, while Guardian360 acts as the "Independent Auditor" to monitor the entire estate and provide the high-level reporting needed for QBRs.
Moving beyond management to full governance.
