Atro

What Atro does

Atro is a private cybersecurity company headquartered in Leander, Texas, that sells modular security software and expert security services to small businesses that lack dedicated in-house security staff. The company positions itself as a risk-first alternative to enterprise-grade security tools, combining a self-serve software platform with a curated network of security professionals. Its core product, the Atro Platform, exposes twelve security controls as independent modules — Email Security, Endpoint Protection, Access Control, Backup and Recovery, Phishing Training, Cloud Security, Password Policy, Incident Response, AI Threat Protection, and others — each with actions and reporting in a unified interface. A proprietary "Security Score" (0–100) quantifies a customer's security posture and increases as more modules are activated, providing a single-metric progress tracker designed for non-expert users. The platform is offered free for teams up to 10 users and supports sign-in via Google and Microsoft SSO, with paid modules starting at $49 per module per month and a paid Atro Pro tier adding customizable policy templates, phishing tests, self-assessments, awareness training, and prioritized support.

• Arctic Wolf: Arctic Wolf delivers managed security operations (SOC-as-a-service, MDR, vulnerability management) to SMB and mid-market customers, typically through MSP partners. Comparable to Atro's combination of platform plus expert-driven security delivery for smaller organizations.
• Guardz: Guardz offers an all-in-one cybersecurity platform designed specifically for SMBs and the MSPs serving them, combining endpoint, email, cloud, and user protection with a single dashboard. Closely mirrors Atro's SMB-first, modular, MSP-channel positioning.
