Managed service providers (MSPs/MSSPs)
IT and security providers who wish to offer SOC, threat intelligence, penetration testing, IR, and engineering under a trusted partner brand.
Partner with Cyber Defence
A partner programme for providers who want to offer serious cyber defence – not just tick-box security.
A partner model built for real security providers
The Cyber Defence Partner Programme is designed for MSSPs, IT service providers, consultancies, and technology vendors who want to deliver serious cyber defence to their clients. Our partners are trusted by their customers and want a security partner who can match that trust – technically and commercially.
We provide SOC365 Managed Detection & Response, Threat Intelligence, Penetration Testing, Incident Response, and Security Engineering under partner-friendly models, enabling you to expand your portfolio without diluting quality or credibility.

Cyber Defence operates as your technical back-end, while you manage the client relationship under your brand.
Embedded specialist
Our specialists work alongside your teams on complex projects, tenders, or strategic programmes.
Strategic alliance

How we support partners in practice
We understand that partnering only works when it is operationally smooth. Cyber Defence supports partners through:
• Joint scoping calls to shape the right service mix for your clients
• Technical pre-sales support for complex opportunities
• Co-branded or white-label reporting and documentation
• Shared playbooks for incident response and escalation
• Regular service reviews to ensure your clients’ needs are met
• Access to our Threat Intelligence insights to support your own services
Our goal is for Cyber Defence to feel like an extension of your team — technically capable, commercially respectful, and aligned to your standards.
Fit
The partners we work best with
We are selective about partnership to ensure quality and alignment. We work best with organisations that:
Value long-term relationships
You focus on multi-year client relationships, not one-off deals.
Care about quality
You want services that genuinely protect clients, not just tick compliance boxes.
Operate in demanding sectors
You work with clients in finance, legal, healthcare, energy, maritime, technology, government, or similar environments.
Respect clear boundaries
You value transparency and clarity around who does what and who owns which relationships.
Invest in security as a capability
You see security as a strategic offering, not just an add-on.
Communicate openly
You are comfortable collaborating transparently on joint clients and opportunities.
