What Conosco does

Conosco is a UK-based managed service provider delivering integrated IT support, cybersecurity, and business communications to mid-market and enterprise organisations in regulated sectors (legal, financial services, healthcare). The company operates from London and was founded in 2002; in January 2022 it merged with Bridgeway Security Solutions to form the Conosco Group, broadening its security capability set. Its offering is structured around three pillars: managed IT and security (24/7 helpdesk, in-house Security Operations Centre, managed firewalls, endpoint and mobile security, secure email gateway, penetration testing), strategy and consultancy (IT roadmapping, fractional IT leadership, ISO 27001/9001/14001/42001 advisory, Cyber Essentials Plus readiness, AI governance), and business communications (Microsoft Teams Calling, VoIP, business mobile, WAN/leased lines, MDM, international SIMs).

The technical stack is centred on Microsoft 365 and Azure, with OneLogin for SSO, 1Password for credential management, HubSpot for CRM, and TeamViewer for remote support. Underlying differentiators include Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001/9001/14001 certifications, a 24/7 SOC, and offensive-security credentials (Mimecast Security Researcher Wall of Fame, 2025). Conosco sells through a direct and inside-sales motion to UK organisations only, with annual subscription billing and individually scoped engagements rather than a unified software platform; free diagnostic tools such as the Email Domain Security (EDS) Report are used for top-of-funnel lead capture. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or parent, and revenue is not publicly reported; CEO Anders Reeves leads a team of 11-50 employees.
