Tim Golden, Founder, Compliance Scorecard

For over two decades, I’ve dedicated myself to helping Managed Service Providers (MSPs) turn compliance from a daunting challenge into a powerful strategic advantage. As the founder of Compliance Scorecard, my mission is to empower businesses with the tools and knowledge they need to operate securely, manage risks effectively, and grow with confidence.

In 2024, I was honored to receive the CompTIA Cybersecurity Leadership Award—a testament to my unwavering commitment to safeguarding businesses in today’s complex digital landscape. My journey as an award-winning speaker has taken me to conferences, webinars, and executive roundtables across the industry, where I share actionable insights on governance, risk management, and cybersecurity.

As a dedicated advocate for MSPs and cybersecurity and an industry speaker, I’m passionate about demystifying complex topics and delivering practical, actionable advice. My approach to speaking on compliance, risk management, and cybersecurity is down-to-earth and accessible, ensuring that every audience member—whether an experienced MSP or someone new to the field—leaves with clear steps to enhance their business and security posture.
