Cloudfence is a managed security service provider founded in 2018 and headquartered in São Paulo, with additional offices in Portugal, Colombia and Mexico. Its core offering is managed detection and response delivered through a Cloud MDR portal, alongside SOC-as-a-service, managed firewall and endpoint protection.
The company builds its services on open-source technology, notably Wazuh and OPNsense, and is a Wazuh Gold partner that also sells professional services for both platforms. It runs a partner program for resellers, which extends its reach in Latin America and Iberia.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Builds its MDR on open-source Wazuh and OPNsense rather than a proprietary stack, a pragmatic but not novel approach; it also offers a self-service Cloud MDR portal.
Delivers MDR, SOC-as-a-service, managed firewall and endpoint protection to Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking markets where local-language 24/7 coverage is scarce.
Wazuh announced a partnership in August 2023 and certifies it as Gold partner, and it lists offices in Brazil, Portugal, Colombia and Mexico, but customer names and funding are not public.
An open-source-based managed SOC is a cost-oriented variant of standard MSSP delivery, not a category change.
Wazuh Gold partner status is independent validation of technical capability, but no named customer incidents or independent detection tests were found.
Open-source detection stacks and LATAM demand for local managed SOC services should persist, though the model is easy to replicate.
Why CISOs Should Care
Mid-market organizations in LATAM and Iberia can get local-language, 24/7 monitoring without licensing a large proprietary SIEM stack.
What Makes It Different
It standardizes on open-source Wazuh and OPNsense rather than proprietary tooling, which lowers cost and avoids vendor lock-in for customers.
The Matrix Verdict
48/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
Cloudfence is an Incremental Innovator: a credible, regionally focused MSSP with independent Wazuh partner validation but limited public customer evidence and a conventional service model. Its score is held back by thin momentum and efficacy proof.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Services descriptions come from the vendor site; the Wazuh partnership is independently announced by Wazuh. Employee count and customer names are not independently verified (sources disagree on size).
