Our Master Services Agreement (Assessment Only) is designed to make working together as smooth and transparent as possible. This specific, abbreviated MSA enables AllConnected to provide Scopes of Work for Assessments Only. In the event Remediation, Projects, Managed Services, or other Professional Services are required, a more comprehensive Master Services Agreement is required.
