Overview

Cybanetix is a UK managed security service provider founded in 2017 by Martin Jakobsen (Cybanetix Limited, Companies House no. 10558582, registered in London). Its core offering is an all-inclusive managed detection and response (MDR) service delivered from a UK-based 24/7/365 security operations centre, alongside outsourced SOC, Microsoft Sentinel managed SOC, managed EDR, SOAR and managed technology services such as firewall, email protection and security awareness training.

The MDR service is built on Exabeam SIEM and SentinelOne EDR, which Cybanetix deploys and operates for customers, and the company advertises a sub-15-minute response SLA regardless of severity. In 2025 it launched the Cybanetix Reporting Engine, a customer portal aggregating incidents, posture and tooling data, and it says it uses generative AI and automation for case enrichment, containment and forensics in its SOC. Exabeam has named it EMEA MSSP Partner of the Year (per Cybanetix), and GBG appears as a named customer testimonial.

In August 2024 Phoenix Equity Partners made a growth investment (terms undisclosed) from its 2022 fund, with the stated goal of building the UK’s leading independent MSSP. In January 2026 the company reported record recurring-revenue growth, roughly 90% of ARR from SOC contracts, and 38% headcount growth, and said it is considering US and Middle East expansion; these figures are self-reported.

Innovation Matrix Assessment

Innovation Velocity 5/10

Launched the Cybanetix Reporting Engine portal in 2025 and reports GenAI/LLM assistance and automation in SOC workflows; incremental enhancements on top of third-party platforms.

Operational Value 6/10

All-inclusive MDR with fully managed Exabeam SIEM and SentinelOne EDR, UK 24/7 SOC and an advertised sub-15-minute response SLA gives mid-market buyers a turnkey service.

Market Momentum 6/10

Press-reported 2024 Phoenix Equity growth investment, self-reported 38% headcount growth and record ARR growth (Jan 2026), and Exabeam MSSP partner awards; still a UK-focused mid-sized player with no disclosed revenue.

Category Disruption 4/10

A conventional MSSP/MDR model on a standard SIEM+EDR stack; the flat all-inclusive pricing and fast SLA are differentiators but not category-changing.

Real-World Efficacy 5/10

Named customer testimonial (GBG) and ISO 27001 shown on its G-Cloud listing, but no independent tests, analyst placements or published detection metrics.

Enduring Relevance 7/10

Outsourced MDR demand from UK mid-market and regulated sectors is durable, and UK-sovereign SOC delivery suits public-sector and CNI buyers.

Why CISOs Should Care

Offers a UK-staffed 24/7 SOC with a contractual sub-15-minute response SLA and fully managed SIEM/EDR, removing the need to build an in-house SOC.

What Makes It Different

Packages Exabeam and SentinelOne into an all-inclusive, fixed-scope MDR with board-level reporting via its own Reporting Engine, positioned as an independent UK MSSP.

The Matrix Verdict

55/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR

Score 33/60 (55/100): Incremental Innovator. Cybanetix is a credible, growing PE-backed UK MDR provider, but its approach is a well-executed conventional MSSP model and evidence of efficacy is largely vendor-reported.
