ControlMap Risk-to-Roadmap Generator

Generate a risk-based QBR roadmap for MSP clients using ScalePad and ControlMap MCP integrations.

ControlMap
Lifecycle Manager
Requires MCPby Tulsie Narine · Senior Solutions Engineer

Needs an LLM client connected to ScalePad MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or similar. Without it the assistant cannot call the recipe's tools.

User prompt

1 input to fill
Using ScalePad MCP and ControlMap, retrieve the current risk profile and existing roadmap items for [CLIENT NAME].

First, identify the client’s key risks and any gaps between their current and target risk posture. Then review the current roadmap to avoid duplicating or conflicting with existing initiatives.

Based on this, generate a proposed QBR roadmap derived from the most meaningful risks.

For each risk:
- Summarize the risk in clear, business-friendly language
- Define the gap between current and desired state
- Propose 1–3 practical initiatives to reduce the risk
- Map each initiative to a Business Goal → Initiative → Expected Outcome
- Recommend a realistic roadmap timing (Now / Next / Later)
- Indicate if a similar or related initiative already exists on the roadmap

Prioritize initiatives that are actionable, aligned with MSP delivery capabilities, and appropriate for a strategic QBR conversation.

Output format:

1. Proposed Roadmap Summary (Pre-Push Review)
- High-level overview of what is being recommended and why
- Key themes (e.g., security maturity, compliance gaps, operational risk)
- Notable overlaps or gaps compared to the current roadmap

2. Risk-by-Risk Initiative Recommendations
(Structured for easy conversion into roadmap items)

3. Goal Alignment Table
Business Goal → Initiative → Expected Outcome → Timing

4. Suggested QBR Talking Points
(Framed for a strategic MSP / vCIO conversation)

Write in a strategic MSP / vCIO tone — focus on business impact and forward planning, not audit language.

This prompt enables MSPs and vCIOs to leverage the ScalePad and ControlMap MCP servers to automate the creation of strategic QBR roadmaps. By analyzing real-time risk profiles and existing roadmaps, it ensures that your recommendations are data-driven, non-redundant, and aligned with client business goals.

Prerequisites

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) enabled in your AI assistant (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor).
