#652 ITN Secure-Ozzie Saeed : ⚙️ Compliance Isn’t Optional—It’s Opportunity
Why fear compliance when it can fuel your growth? In this rich and revealing episode from IT Nation Secure 2025, Joey Pinz sits down with Ozzie Saeed, founder of IntelliGRC, to unpack why MSPs should stop dreading cybersecurity frameworks like CMMC—and start seeing them as strategic advantages.
💥 Ozzie, a veteran of U.S. Army information security and co-architect of the CMMC scoping guide, shares how compliance became his passion project. With relatable stories (including $30K saltwater tanks and personal health wake-up calls), he makes even complex GRC sound actionable and human.
🛠️ Ozzie breaks down how MSPs are already doing 40% of what compliance requires—and how IntelliGRC helps package it all into repeatable, scalable services. From building sales enablement to liability-reducing contracts, Ozzie’s vision empowers MSPs to grow smarter and serve deeper.
