SecurityHQ

SecurityHQ is a London-headquartered managed security services provider incorporated in 2003 and rebranded to its current name in 2020, founded and led by CEO Feras Tappuni. The company operates six global security operations centers and reports roughly 500 employees spread across five continents, delivering 24/7/365 incident detection and response, managed extended detection and response (MXDR), and security configuration/policy management across customer environments.

A distinguishing feature of SecurityHQ’s model is that it positions itself as technology-agnostic — designing and operating around whatever security stack a customer already has rather than mandating its own proprietary tooling. This is a genuine architectural choice that differentiates it from MSSPs built tightly around a single vendor’s platform, though the MSSP business model itself is well established and not new.

With more than two decades of operating history and global delivery scale, SecurityHQ has real staying power in the crowded outsourced-SOC market. Some of its marketing claims — such as a “62% lower noise-to-signal ratio” versus competitors — are vendor-reported statistics without independent benchmarking behind them, and should be treated as such even though the company’s overall scale and longevity lend it credibility.
