Softwerx is a cybersecurity consultancy and managed security services provider specialising exclusively in Microsoft Security technologies. Founded in Cambridge over 25 years ago, the company has grown into one of Europe’s largest privately-owned Microsoft-focused cybersecurity specialists, serving mid-market organisations across the UK and Europe. Softwerx’s mission is to help organisations maximise the value of their existing Microsoft investments, while improving security, compliance and operational resilience.   

The company’s services span Microsoft security consulting, infrastructure support, licensing advice, Managed eXtended Detection and Response (MXDR), security operations centre services, compliance solutions and incident response. Softwerx operates a UK-based virtual 24x7x365  Security Operations Centre and is  particularly known for its flagship cybersecurity solution , secure365®, a Microsoft-native MXDRe service designed for mid-sized organisations. The solution provides 24x7x365 monitoring, threat detection, incident response and security management, while allowing customers to retain ownership and visibility of their security data.   

A key differentiator for Softwerx is its exclusive focus on Microsoft Security and native Microsoft environments. Rather than building a proprietary external security platform, the company leverages the Microsoft Security ecosystem for its telemetry, tools that most mid-market organisations are already likely to have as part of their existing Microsoft infrastructure licences. The company highlights the potential cost savings and reduced vendor complexity achieved through this approach.
