Enterprise-level threats demand enterprise-level protection
In 2026, your customers are prime targets for cyberattack.
As their MSP, your clients rely on you not just for IT but for security and resilience. Regulators are also tightening expectations, with the UK government's proposal to bring medium and large "Relevant Managed Service Providers" under NIS regulations, with incident reporting and risk management requirements overseen by the Information Commission.
That's why we created the Defense.com MSP Partner Program.
An exclusive, proven high-touch partnership program designed specifically to help MSPs deliver 24/7 protection to mid-market clients without increasing operational strain.
43%
of businesses reported a cyber breach or attack in the past 12 months
67%
of medium businesses experienced a cyber incident
74%
of large businesses reported cyber breaches
Built exclusively for MSPs who serve the mid-market
This program is not a generic reseller scheme. It's a strategic partnership tailored to the realities of the mid-market and the demands placed on modern MSPs.

What makes this partnership different
Everything you need to deliver enterprise-grade security to your clients.
Tech engineered for MSPs
Our SOC, SIEM, and core Defense.com stack is engineered for mixed device types, hybrid workforces, and limited internal security maturity. Low-noise alerting ensures your team sees only what matters.
Predictable pricing
Flat, transparent, fixed pricing fits your clients' budgets and builds reliable monthly recurring revenue. No complicated usage billing. No surprise overages.
Multi-tenancy built in
Manage all clients' environments seamlessly with clear data separation, fast onboarding, a single pane of glass for security posture, and role-based access.
Ongoing sales support
We partner with your team throughout the relationship, providing hands-on sales support, pitch decks, pricing sheets, competitive templates, and partner-only enablement sessions to help you stand out and close more deals.
Territory & quality protection
We limit partners per region to prevent channel saturation, maintain strong support, and deliver real commercial advantage. Not every MSP is accepted.
A genuine growth partnership
We build long-term, collaborative relationships with MSPs through joint business planning, coordinated marketing campaigns, and regular performance reviews to optimise and grow your recurring revenue streams. Together, we turn security into sustained growth.
White labelling included as standard
Built in at no extra cost, our white-labelling features let you easily rebrand the interface, mailers, and reports with your logo in a few clicks, positioning your business as the security expert.
Dedicated marketing support
We provide dedicated marketing funds for targeted campaigns, events, or digital ads. No complicated application process, simply submit a brief proposal and we'll collaborate to maximise impact and mutual success.
Introduce your clients for free
Our free tier lets you offer core Defense.com functionality at no cost. A low-risk way to build trust, demonstrate value, enable seamless onboarding, and pave the way for paid upgrades and stronger relationships.
