Buchanan Technology

What Buchanan Technology does

Buchanan Technology (B.Tech) is a privately held cybersecurity services firm that operates the Secure365 subscription platform, providing proactive security monitoring, policy management, and regulatory alignment for organizations using Microsoft 365 environments. The company integrates with the Microsoft 365 Defender ecosystem and uses Microsoft Secure Score as the primary metric to benchmark and improve client security posture — reporting an average client score of 79.29% versus an industry average of 48.11%. Its product portfolio consists of two tiers: the standard Secure365 Ongoing Subscription (continuous monitoring, monthly reports, dedicated account management) and Secure365+ Cyber Essentials (adding UK NCSC-backed certification and eligibility for discounted cyber insurance via AIA). Buchanan Technology generates revenue through fixed-cost monthly subscriptions that scale with client size, sold via a direct sales-led motion complemented by partnerships with managed service providers, primarily serving SMB and mid-market clients in financial services and adjacent regulated industries across the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Oceania.

The company was founded in 2019 and is co-led by Tim Proudlock and Jordan Gall (who also serves as Head of Cyber). Operations are supported by offices in the UK and Hong Kong, with the legal entity Buchanan Technology Limited domiciled in Australia. Service delivery is a hybrid model combining human cybersecurity professionals with automated monitoring tools, and the company additionally operates the Global Threat Index, which delivers regular threat-level briefings (Low to Severe) to client inboxes. Buchanan Technology holds no disclosed patents or proprietary AI/ML models and has not raised outside funding, suggesting a bootstrapped, founder-owned operating model at an early commercial stage.

Direct peers

• eSentire: Delivers MDR and managed security services to mid-market organizations on a subscription basis with 24/7 SOC support — closely comparable business model and customer segment, though with broader scope than M365.
• Hornetsecurity: Specializes in Microsoft 365 email security, backup, and compliance for SMBs and managed service providers — directly overlapping Secure365's email-protection, compliance, and M365-native positioning.
• Arctic Wolf: Provides managed detection, response, and security operations as a subscription service primarily targeting mid-market and SMB customers — the same buyer profile as Buchanan Technology's Secure365, though Arctic Wolf operates across a broader technology stack rather than M365 alone.
• Avanan (Check Point Software): Cloud-native email and collaboration security for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, protecting against phishing, malware, and data loss — directly competitive in the M365 email/collaboration security lane Buchanan Technology targets.
• Perception Point: MSSP-focused email and collaboration security for Microsoft 365, with a channel-led GTM aimed at MSPs serving SMBs — overlapping in buyer profile and underlying technology layer to Secure365.
• Bulletproof Cyber Security: UK-based MSSP offering managed security, compliance, and Microsoft 365 security services to SMB and mid-market clients — directly comparable geography, customer segment, and subscription-led delivery model.

Others

• Pax8: Cloud distribution and security platform built around Microsoft 365 and other SaaS for SMBs and the MSPs that serve them — adjacent ecosystem participant that partners with, and competes for mindshare against, M365-focused managed security providers like Buchanan Technology.

Broad incumbents

• Sophos: Established cybersecurity vendor selling managed detection, endpoint, and M365-aware security services to SMBs and mid-market — overlapping customer base and subscription model, but as a much broader portfolio than Buchanan Technology's M365-only stack.
• Proofpoint: Large incumbent in email security, DLP, and security awareness, including Microsoft 365 protection — overlapping in M365 email and compliance capabilities but serving larger enterprises with a much wider product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Abnormal Security: AI-native email security platform protecting Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace from phishing and account takeover — overlapping M365 email defense category but skewing enterprise and natively AI-led rather than policy-management-led.
