What FutureSafe does
FutureSafe is a U.S.-based Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) that exclusively serves Managed Service Providers (MSPs) rather than selling directly to end-clients. The company's core offering, FutureSafe Safeguard, is a Tier 1 SecOps/SOC operation delivering 24/7 monitoring, detection, escalation, remediation, and incident response behind the scenes, with free active incident response included as a standing guarantee. FutureSafe's positioning explicitly avoids competing with its MSP customers for end-client relationships, acting instead as a white-glove extension of MSP security teams that addresses tool sprawl, alert fatigue, and unclear vendor escalation paths.
The company's technology stack is predominantly assembled through distribution and integration agreements rather than internally built software. FutureSafe is the exclusive U.S. distributor of Heimdal Security's unified security platform (offered as Full Stack and Partial Stack tiers) and distributes complementary tools including Phalanx's ShieldWolf data encryption product, Sendmarc for DMARC enforcement, Blackpoint Cyber for MDR, and Nanitor for vulnerability management, among others. These components are wrapped by the Safeguard SOC layer and, via the Cork Cyber partnership, layered with Financial Protection coverage of up to $500,000 for Full Stack clients. Integrations extend into Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint) and Google Drive through ShieldWolf.
FutureSafe operates a subscription-based managed services revenue model with annual billing, distributing security technology licenses to MSPs and bundling them with recurring SecOps/SOC service fees. Go-to-market is sales-led, supplemented by a channel-first partner ecosystem, content marketing via blog and LinkedIn/Facebook, and direct email/contact-form outreach. The company serves only the U.S. market (headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware), is privately held with no disclosed funding, and operates with 11-50 employees under Chairman and CEO Jason Whitehurst.

FutureSafe competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- ConnectWise: ConnectWise is a large, established MSP platform that bundles PSA/RMM with cybersecurity offerings (including ConnectWise SOC). It competes broadly for MSP security spend but as part of a much wider portfolio rather than as a security specialist.
- Sophos: Sophos has a long-standing MSP program and an extensive security portfolio (endpoint, network, MDR). While much larger, it overlaps with FutureSafe's MSP-facing endpoint/network security offering and competes for the same MSP channel budget.
- Barracuda MSP: Barracuda's MSP program offers email, network, and application security sold through MSPs. It competes indirectly for the same MSP security budget with a broader incumbent footprint.
- Kaseya: Kaseya is a broad MSP platform owner (including Datto) with security products spanning EDR, MDR, and compliance. It is a broader incumbent addressing the same MSP security stack consolidation theme FutureSafe targets.
Direct peers
- Huntress: Huntress is a managed detection and response provider purpose-built for MSPs and MSSPs, offering 24/7 SOC, EDR, and identity threat detection. It competes head-to-head with FutureSafe Safeguard for the same MSP buyer and similarly promises behind-the-scenes support that doesn't displace the MSP's client relationship.
- ThreatLocker: ThreatLocker provides zero-trust endpoint protection and allowlisting sold through an MSP-first channel. It targets the same MSP buyer with consolidated security tooling and operational support, paralleling FutureSafe's Heimdal bundle strategy.
- Blackpoint Cyber: Blackpoint Cyber delivers MDR and 24/7 response services explicitly designed for MSPs. FutureSafe has a formal partnership with Blackpoint (announced July 2025) but also overlaps with it as both compete for the MSP SOC budget.
- RocketCyber (Kaseya): RocketCyber, now part of Kaseya, is a managed SOC offering sold specifically to MSPs. It is a direct functional competitor to FutureSafe Safeguard for the MSP Tier 1 SOC dollar.
Others
- Heimdal Security: Heimdal is FutureSafe's primary upstream technology partner and exclusive U.S. distribution principal. While not a direct competitor, Heimdal's broader platform and EMEA presence mean any direct Heimdal push into U.S. MSP sales would directly threaten FutureSafe's core.
Emerging players
- SaaS Alerts: SaaS Alerts is an emerging SaaS security monitoring platform for MSPs focused on Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is narrower in scope than FutureSafe but competes for the same MSP customer's tool-consolidation budget.
