Liongard is an MSP-focused attestation and configuration-discovery platform — automated daily snapshots of client environments, change tracking, and reporting on configuration drift. Used heavily by ConnectWise, Datto, and Kaseya MSPs to know what is in each tenant.
Lavawall® overlaps with Liongard on configuration discovery and reporting, with broader scope: 7,500+ application patching, 15+ framework GRC, multi-tenant cloud breach detection with endpoint correlation, kernel-free application control, replacement prioritization, smart helpdesk, and multi-tenant remote support.
For MSPs choosing between them, the question is whether configuration attestation alone is the priority (Liongard) or whether the broader security and compliance platform is the priority (Lavawall®).
Where Lavawall® wins for MSPs
Lavawall® is the broader platform — configuration attestation is one of many native capabilities, alongside patching, GRC, breach detection, application control, helpdesk, and remote support.
GRC framework mapping with continuous evidence collection is a step beyond Liongard's configuration-snapshot model.
Multi-tenant ITDR for M365 / Entra ID / Azure / Google Workspace with endpoint correlation is not Liongard's scope.
Where Liongard wins
Liongard's configuration-attestation depth is mature. The breadth of integrations it can pull configuration data from (firewalls, switches, M365 tenants, line-of-business apps) is a strength.
For MSPs whose primary need is configuration drift detection across many tenants and that have security and GRC tooling elsewhere, Liongard is a focused choice.

Who should pick which?
Frequently asked
- Can Lavawall® and Liongard coexist?
- Yes. Some MSPs run Liongard for deep configuration-snapshot reporting and Lavawall® for the security and compliance platform layer.
