The type of service offered impacts on the support and costs. The type of service may vary over time, and a mixed approach may be required. The two main types of analytical services areSelf-service: This is mainly where the data products are provided as a service. Others use these products to undertake analysis and value-adding processing. Self-service is often easier to establish and maintain and cheaper to run. Self-service is often popular with more the technologically experienced and those who consume the service as a major part of their job.Managed service: This is where the service undertakes much of the analysis and value-adding processing on behalf of others. Managed services often require more effort to establish and maintain and may incur higher costs. Managed service is often popular with those who just want a valued-added product for decision making and do not have the time for self-service.

The advantage of open architectures in outsourcing security and keeping pace with cybersecurity is outlined by Chan (2018) as follows, similar to the USN C2C24 Principle 4 outlined earlier: ‘MSP responsibilities are increasingly shifting from repairs, patches, delivery of new software, and incorporation of cloud services to that of data-related security services. According to Gartner, a new class of MSP, the Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), has emerged to provide outsourced monitoring and management of security devices and systems. Prototypical managed services now include, among others, managed firewall, virtual private network, vulnerability scanning, anti-viral services, and intrusion detection. Outsourcing to MSSPs has typically improved the client ability to deter cyberthreats … . MSSPs have burgeoned not only in industries that have experienced massive compromises in recent times (e.g. healthcare), but also in areas that are at unprecedented levels of risk (e.g. energy sector).’
