What Saepio Solutions does

Saepio Solutions Limited is a privately held UK cybersecurity specialist founded in 2016 and headquartered in High Wycombe, with a London office near Moorgate. The company sells three service pillars — Cyber Advisory (policy/risk/compliance), Managed Services (people/process), and Technical Services (product implementation) — organised around the proprietary brands M-SAT (managed security awareness training), M-THREAT (managed threat intelligence and dark-web monitoring), and M-GRC (managed governance, risk and compliance). Following its November 2025 acquisition of Ruptura InfoSecurity, Saepio added CREST-accredited penetration testing, red teaming, social engineering, cloud security testing, and NCSC CHECK-approved government IT health checks to its portfolio.

The company's technology model is vendor-neutral and partnership-dense rather than proprietary-software-led. Saepio holds Top-Tier status with Wiz (Resell and Services), Elite-tier with Drata, is the largest KnowBe4 managed services provider in the UK, and was named Rapid7's 2026 EMEA Partner of the Year. It also partners with CrowdStrike, Cato Networks, Abnormal Security, Varonis, Netskope, Torq, Aikido, and Incydr. Technology advisory is delivered across nine domains — application, cloud, data, email, endpoint, human risk, identity, network, and security operations/MDR — positioning Saepio as a delivery wrapper around best-of-breed third-party platforms rather than a product company.

The business model is a blend of annual recurring subscription revenue (managed services), project-based and retainer professional services (advisory and technical services), one-off engagement revenue (penetration testing), and pass-through third-party software resale. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; managed services are typically contracted annually with auto-renewal. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by vendor co-sell, thought-leadership content (the CEO-hosted 'In Conversation' podcast, buyer's guides, a Threatview newsletter), and a portfolio of branded customer events (Taste of Cyber, Elevate, Cyber Horizon, Cyber Expert). Saepio claims 1,000+ UK customers across legal, finance, technology, energy, construction, retail, and professional services verticals; named logos include Bird & Bird, Vistry Group, Aventum, Monzo, McLaren, Holland & Barrett, and Prime. No external funding rounds or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
