Cirro Solutions

What Cirro Solutions does

Cirro Solutions is a UK-based managed cloud service provider founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bournemouth, specialising in Microsoft Azure infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud migration, and AI services for UK public sector organisations and enterprise clients. The company targets directors, CIOs and CTOs seeking a long-term technology partner rather than a transactional supplier, and operates under a four-stage engagement model (Understand, Inform, Accountable). It holds Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud approval, providing direct procurement access to UK central and local government organisations without full competitive tender.

The firm's product portfolio spans four pillars: Managed Cloud (Managed Microsoft Azure, Azure Local/Stack HCI for hybrid deployments, FinOps cost optimisation, and the proprietary Nexus migration framework); Security and Resilience (Microsoft Defender and Sentinel, 24/7 SOC and NOC, a four-stage Cyber Resilience Strategy framework, backup and business continuity to ISO 22301, and OT cyber security delivered via partnership with Industrial Defender); Advisory and Professional Services (Nexus cloud migration, bespoke cloud-native application development, and independent technology consultancy); and AI Services (Azure AI consultancy and practical LLM deployment with governance). Core technical components include Microsoft Defender and Sentinel for security operations, Azure AI services and Azure data platforms for AI workloads, and the Industrial Defender platform for OT/ICS environments.

Cirro generates revenue through fixed-price managed service agreements on an annual billing cadence for the managed cloud and security offerings, alongside project-based professional services for migrations, application development and advisory engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with the company emphasising commercial transparency and predictable costs. Distribution is consultative: direct enterprise sales for commercial clients, G-Cloud framework procurement for public sector, and channel/reseller activity for OT cyber security via the Industrial Defender partnership. Customer segments include UK central and local government (a primary vertical), education, manufacturing and industrial, ISV/SaaS providers, and enterprise customers; named clients span HM Treasury, UK Debt Management Office, Charity Commission, Verizon, Société Générale Private Banking Hambros, and Tute Education, among others.
