Securicom is a South African cybersecurity company headquartered in Cape Town, with offices in Johannesburg and Namibia. It was ranked 218th on MSSP Alert’s 2022 Top 250 MSSP list and describes a SOC monitored around the clock.
Its current services include SOC-as-a-Service, a managed XDR offering branded Monitor Secure, and SIEM as a Service. The company says it serves more than 800 clients and has over 25 years of experience.
It is a long-established regional provider rather than a technology innovator, and it is a Fortinet Expert partner.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Evolved from security integrator to SOC and MXDR provider, but no novel technology was identified.
SOC, SIEM and managed XDR services give mid-sized African organizations outsourced 24/7 monitoring.
MSSP Alert Top 250 listing (2022), Fortinet Expert status and a claimed 800+ clients, but the ranking is dated.
A standard managed SOC stack with no structurally new approach.
Long operating history suggests real customer delivery, but no independent tests or named incident evidence were found.
Managed monitoring demand in Africa should remain strong given talent shortages.
Why CISOs Should Care
Offers southern African organizations a locally based 24/7 SOC and managed XDR option.
What Makes It Different
Regional presence and a two-decade track record in a market with few established SOC providers.
The Matrix Verdict
47/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
Securicom scores in the Emerging/Unranked tier: a durable regional MSSP with credible longevity but a conventional service stack, low disruption and limited independent evidence of efficacy.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
The 800+ client and 25-year figures are the company's own; the only independent datapoint found is the 2022 MSSP Alert ranking.
