Soteria

What Soteria does

Soteria (Soteria LLC) is a privately held, Charleston, South Carolina-headquartered cybersecurity services and software firm founded in 2014 that operates a fully remote workforce. The company is organized around two product pillars: Soteria Defense, a 24/7/365 Managed Detection and Response service backed by a human 'Detection and Response Team' (DART) composed of incident handlers, detection engineers, digital forensicators, security engineers, and threat intelligence analysts; and Soteria Inspect, a SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) platform with over 200 inspection points targeting Microsoft 365 tenant misconfigurations. Soteria also offers Domain Watch brand-protection monitoring, fixed-price guided Microsoft 365 assessments, professional cybersecurity consulting, and a free open-source 365Inspect PowerShell tool under MIT license.

The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise and mid-market sales through its website with channel distribution via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, where Soteria Inspect is offered in Small Business (under 250 users) and Enterprise tiers on a monthly subscription. The business model blends recurring SaaS revenue (Inspect, Domain Watch), managed services revenue (MDR), and professional services revenue (consulting and assessments). Target verticals include Government (primary), Financial Services, Manufacturing, Technology, Supply Chain, Insurance, Healthcare, and Private Equity portfolio companies.

Soteria differentiates on the depth of its security talent — drawn from federal intelligence communities, state governments, and private industry — and on tailored, boutique engagement rather than one-size-fits-all offerings. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or PE/VC backing in the source material, and total disclosed outside funding to date is approximately $3.5 million across rounds in 2015 and 2018.
