What Wizard Cyber does

Wizard Cyber (legal entity: Wizard Cyber Security Ltd) is a UK-based managed security services provider (MSSP) founded in 1995 and headquartered in London, with additional operations in Colchester (UK SOC), Amman, Jordan (Middle East SOC established 2021), the USA, the broader Middle East, and Asia. The company delivers 24x7x365 managed cybersecurity services built around the Microsoft security stack — Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, Entra, Purview, and Intune — augmented by its proprietary CYBERSHIELD SOC and Incident Management Platform, which adds ticket and case management, analytical rule control, threat intelligence, threat hunting, vulnerability management, and mobile access on top of Microsoft Sentinel. Wizard Cyber's service portfolio spans detection and response (MXDR, MDR, EDR, NDR, Managed Sentinel, ITDR, OT/IoT SOC, SOC-as-a-Service, SIEM), managed services (firewall, WAF, patch management, vulnerability scanning), assessment services (penetration testing, attack and breach simulation, ISO 27001 certification support), and consultancy (VCISO, incident response, Zero Trust implementation, Sentinel migration), plus a suite of funded Microsoft security workshops used as demand generation.

The company makes money primarily through subscription-based managed security services and recurring annual contracts, supplemented by professional services (penetration testing, incident response, VCISO, certification support) and Microsoft-funded workshop engagements that feed the sales pipeline. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales and inside sales with a partner/reseller program and strategic alliances such as the Mannai Microsoft Solutions partnership for the Middle East. Wizard Cyber holds Azure Expert MSP, Microsoft Solutions Partner (with advanced specializations across Sentinel, Defender, and Zero Trust), Microsoft MSSP, and FastTrack Partner status, and is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. Its customer base includes large enterprise and public-sector accounts — Shell, NHS, MOD, Synergy Global Housing, West Kent Housing Association, Sovereign Capital, Avionic Instruments, and Revalize — across energy, healthcare, defence, housing, financial services, aerospace, and government verticals. Ownership is private and founder-led, with no external equity or venture funding disclosed.
