TechOnPurpose Named to MSSP Alert’s 2025 List of Top 250 MSSPs – Climbs 32 Spots Year-Over-Year

by | Feb 12, 2026

TechOnPurpose is proud to announce its inclusion in MSSP Alert’s prestigious 2025 Top 250 Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) list, ranking #159 globally – a significant jump of 32 positions from last year’s #191.

This marks the second consecutive year TechOnPurpose has been recognized among the world’s leading managed security service providers, reinforcing our commitment to delivering secure, reliable, and trusted technology solutions with unmatched service.


Executive Perspective

“Being named to this list for the second consecutive year (and climbing 32 spots) is meaningful on many levels,” said Matt Tankersley, Founder & CEO of TechOnPurpose. “It reflects the trust our clients place in us every single day. But just as importantly, it represents validation from industry peers, analysts, and partners who see the discipline, execution, and innovation required to operate at this level.”

He continued:

“Third-party recognition like this isn’t something you self-declare. It’s earned. It’s measured. And it’s evaluated against the best in the world. I couldn’t be more proud of our TOP team – their consistency, professionalism, and relentless focus on protecting our clients is what makes recognition like this possible. This is their achievement.”


About the MSSP Alert Top 250

MSSP Alert’s Top 250 MSSPs ranking is one of the industry’s most comprehensive global evaluations of managed security service providers. Rankings are based on:

  • Annual recurring revenues

  • Profitability

  • Business growth rate

  • Cybersecurity professional headcount

  • Managed security services offered

  • MSSP Alert editorial coverage

  • Third-party industry recognition (Gartner, Forrester, IDC, Canalys, etc.)


Why This Recognition Matters

In an increasingly complex threat landscape (where cyberattacks grow more sophisticated every day) organizations need trusted partners who deliver layered protection that works in real-world conditions.

TechOnPurpose’s TOPCYBER21™ (TC21) framework enables organizations to STOP the #CYBERinsanity and implement true defense-in-depth cybersecurity – moving from reactive uncertainty to structured, measurable protection in hours or days, not weeks or months.


Industry Recognition

“MSSP Alert and CyberRisk Alliance congratulate TechOnPurpose on this honor,” said Sharon Florentine, Senior Managing Editor, MSSP Alert, a CyberRisk Alliance resource. “The Top 250 MSSPs are an elite group of cybersecurity service providers, and they continue to outperform the overall cybersecurity services market. Members of this list are the best of the best.”


Partner Perspectives

The recognition also reflects the strength of TechOnPurpose’s strategic partnerships across the cybersecurity ecosystem.

”We are honored to support TechOnPurpose in the essential work that they do. Being named to the top 250 group for the second year in a row shows the dedication that they have to keeping their end users safe in the constantly evolving world of cybersecurity” – Luis Quintas, SVP of Account Management.

“We’re proud to partner with TechOnPurpose and support the work they’re doing as a global MSSP,” said Tim Adams, Founder & CEO, ScoutDNS. “Their team consistently demonstrates how to turn modern security technology into real, scalable protection for customers. ScoutDNS is excited to be part of their continued success.”

“TechOnPurpose’s recognition in the MSSP Global 250 reflects their ability to consistently deliver secure, reliable services,” said Ahmet Polat, Co-Founder & CEO, Timus SASE. “Their focus on disciplined execution and maintaining a high bar for secure service delivery is exactly what distinguishes leading MSSPs in the global market.”

“We’re proud to support TechOnPurpose as they continue to raise the bar for modern security operations,” added Jeff Hill, Global Senior Director, MSSP and Service Providers, Stellar Cyber. “Being recognized as a Top 250 MSSP for the second year in a row is a testament to their execution, innovation, and measurable impact — and Stellar Cyber is excited to be part of that journey.”
