You run IT for everyone else. Run yours on runbooks.

A prebuilt runbook pack for NOC and service-desk teams and MSPs: the high-volume L1 work that burns margin, plus the change-control evidence your clients ask you to produce.

10 live in production
2 configured as templates

L1 toil is a margin problem

Password resets and lockouts are 20 to 50 percent of service-desk tickets (Gartner). On a fixed-fee contract, every one your engineers touch by hand is margin you gave back.

Clients ask you for the evidence now

MSPs increasingly face the security questionnaires their clients used to answer themselves. The audit chain gives you exportable, re-verifiable records of every privileged action your team took, per engagement.

Change control without the ceremony

Firewall, DNS, and credential changes need a second set of eyes, not a change-advisory board meeting. Approval gates put a named reviewer on each change in Slack or Teams, in seconds.

Compliance evidence

Evidence your auditors can re-verify

Every approval decision lands on an append-only SHA-256 chain. Export it as CSV and re-verify it offline, without trusting AscendCore.

SOC 2

Evidence for: SOC 2 CC6.1 and CC8.1 (logical access, change management). Every privileged change carries a named human approve or deny decision, recorded append-only.

SOC 2

Evidence for: SOC 2 CC7.2 / CC7.3 (system monitoring, change detection). The chain records what changed, who approved it, and when, and it re-verifies offline.

SOC 2

Evidence for: SOC 2 CC6.2 / CC6.3 (access reviews, access removal). Campaign evidence bundles anchor every reviewer decision to the tamper-evident chain and close the loop by staging each revocation for human approval.

CIS Controls v8

Evidence for: CIS Controls v8, Controls 5 and 6 (account management, access control management) across the client environments you operate.

ISO 27001

Evidence for: ISO 27001 A.12.4 (logging and monitoring). Exportable per engagement, so client-facing evidence requests stop being a research project.

A runbook pack is not a compliance program, and AscendCore's own SOC 2 Type I is planned, not certified. These mappings show which controls the approval gates and audit chain produce evidence toward, for your assessments and your clients'.

Reselling or referring? The partner program pays a recurring referral percentage of MRR (20 to 30 percent by tier) and includes a white-label portal, quoting tools, and this pack's enablement material.
