Compliance Scorecard’s Rebrand: Transforming Compliance from Burden to Revenue Generator

Building a Brand that Makes Compliance Click

Compliance Scorecard sought to redefine its brand to better align with its mission of turning compliance from a daunting task into a valuable revenue-generating asset for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). With an emphasis on uncomplicating compliance, Compliance Scorecard aimed to create a more unified, engaging brand identity. The company partnered with Nowspeed to achieve a fresh, approachable look, simplified messaging, and cohesive branding that would resonate with MSPs, build trust, and drive engagement.

Compliance Scorecard: Leading the Way in Compliance as a Service

Compliance Scorecard is an industry leading compliance-as-a-service (CaaS) company dedicated to helping MSPs simplify and operationalize compliance. With an integrated platform and access to an educational Peer Group, Compliance Scorecard equips MSPs with the tools and guidance they need to manage compliance effortlessly, turning it from a burdensome task into a strategic revenue generating service. By centralizing all compliance activities — from documentation to governance — the company empowers MSPs to stay ahead of regulatory requirements and cyber threats.

The Need for Evolution

Despite strong growth as Compliance Risk, the company recognized its brand identity wasn’t matching its vision of making compliance accessible and valuable for MSPs. There were several opportunities for change:

Brand Identity

Building on its market success, Compliance Risk saw an opportunity to strengthen its brand presence. By unifying the company name and its product name under one identity, they could better communicate their unique compliance solutions to MSPs.

Strategic Investment

A pivotal moment came when an industry veteran recognized the company’s potential and provided investment backing. The partnership enabled Compliance Risk to strengthen its market position and invest in strategic marketing.

Communication Approach

The company recognized the need to boost its messaging strategy. They saw an opportunity to create more direct, MSP-focused communication that would better showcase their practical, hands-on approach to compliance.

Digital Presence

The founder’s vision of accessible, approachable compliance inspired a website refresh. The new design would better showcase the company’s friendly, service-oriented culture through lighter colors and clearer messaging.

The Brand Transformation

Through extensive discovery sessions with the Compliance Scorecard team, Nowspeed developed a comprehensive rebrand that aligned with the company’s vision of making compliance engaging and growth-oriented. Here are the key elements:

Clear Logo and Visual Identity

The new logo combines a shield and checkmark, symbolizing both protection and verification. This visual metaphor perfectly captures the essence of a compliance management platform while maintaining simplicity and recognition.

Simplified Brand Architecture

The CEO and Leadership changed the company name to Compliance Scorecard, directly reflecting its core offering of compliance management through scorecards. This single, memorable brand clearly communicated the company’s purpose.

Refined Friendly Messaging

The new messaging framework emphasized:

• Simplified compliance processes
• Proactive risk management
• Time-saving benefits
• Competitive advantages for MSPs
• Educational support and community building

The tone shifted to be more conversational and approachable, demonstrating that compliance could be straightforward and achievable.

Website Redesign

The new website featured:

• Lighter color palette and friendly design elements
• Clear presentation of key features and benefits
• Step-by-step compliance management guidance
• Emphasis on community and educational resources
• Optimized user experience with improved navigation
• Strong calls-to-action

The end result was a cohesive brand identity that positioned Compliance Scorecard as an approachable, trusted partner in compliance management.

Measuring Success
