What Vancord does

Vancord (legal entity TBNG, Inc.) is a Connecticut-headquartered Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) and managed IT services firm founded in 2005 and operating primarily across New England with nationwide cybersecurity delivery. The company sells a portfolio of recurring security services centered on a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), Managed Detection and Response (MDR) across EDR/XDR/SIEM platforms, a Virtual Information Security Officer (vISO) practice, and emergency incident response. Around this core it bundles compliance services (CMMC L1/L2 for DoD contractors; FERPA, NIST, DFARS, CJIS, HIPAA audits), infrastructure projects (cloud/M365 migration, IAM, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment), and Hardware-as-a-Service.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led with a dedicated-account-team model: each client is assigned a named team that conducts weekly check-ins and shares IT/security roadmaps, rather than drawing from a shared support pool. Distribution combines enterprise field sales for larger accounts and inside sales for mid-market, supported by content marketing (the CyberSound podcast, case studies, blog) and industry events. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; contracts carry at least 5% annual escalators on recurring services and minimum 25% restocking on hardware returns.

Vancord concentrates on three primary verticals — Manufacturing (with OT/ICS and DoD/CMMC focus), Education (K-12 and higher-ed), and Public Sector (municipal and public safety) — supplemented by exposure to Healthcare, Financial Services, and NGOs. Ownership remains with the founders; no external institutional funding is disclosed. The firm was accepted to the 2026 Channel Futures MSP 501 and CRN Tech Elite 250 lists.
