Protecon

What Protecon does

Protecon (legal entity ProteconCorp, LLC) is a family-owned, private Microsoft Cloud security and migration services firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Gastonia (Charlotte metro), North Carolina. The company helps organizations manage cybersecurity risk by securely deploying Microsoft Cloud technologies — Microsoft 365, Entra ID (including Entra ID B2C/B2B), Microsoft Intune, and Configuration Manager — and supports identity governance, enterprise mobility management, modern device deployment, and migrations tied to mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.

The technical core is Keraunos™, a proprietary migration and discovery platform with three modules (Keraunos™ Discover for tenant assessment, Keraunos™ Plan for identity mapping and readiness, Keraunos™ Migrate for project-based execution) that orchestrates tenant-to-tenant M365 migrations alongside third-party tools (Quest ODM, BitTitan MigrationWiz, ShareGate) and Microsoft's native tooling. Supporting offerings include the Accelerated Rapid Model (A.R.M.) for rapid security deployment, M.A.D. Audit covering 600+ M365 tenant settings, R.A.I.D. automation services, and PRaaS (Protecon-as-a-Service) for ongoing managed services.

The business model combines professional services engagements (deployment, migration, governance, networking), recurring managed services (PRaaS), and subscription-style offerings (Entra ID B2C/B2B). Go-to-market is sales-led with direct enterprise engagement, website lead capture (targeting 1-10,000+ employee organizations), Microsoft Partner Network channel leverage as a Gold Cloud Platform partner, and a community-led non-profit program with discounted multi-year pricing. Named customer segments include non-profit organizations (Valley Mountain Regional Center, Make-A-Wish, Ducks Unlimited, K-Love, Mennonite Central Committee, Tessitura Network, among others), K-12 educational institutions (Community Christian Academy, Blacksburg High School), enterprise buyers needing enterprise mobility/identity governance, and organizations executing M&A-driven migrations. Headcount is 1-10 employees and no funding, revenue, or ownership changes have been disclosed.

Broad incumbents

Emerging players

• BitTitan (a Quest company): Provider of MigrationWiz, a leading third-party M365/tenant migration tool that Protecon itself integrates with via Keraunos — adjacent ecosystem participant whose tooling both complements and competes with Protecon's migration services.
• Contentstack / Rencore-style M365 ISV: Adjacent Microsoft-ecosystem tooling vendors for M365 migrations and SharePoint governance — comparison noted as OTHERS due to weak direct overlap, included for ecosystem context.
