Reach Announcement
16 October 2025
Smarttech247 Group PLC
("Smarttech247", the "Group" or the "Company")
Smarttech247 recognised for the second consecutive year in Gartner's Market
Guide for Managed Detection and Response
Smarttech247 (AIM: S247), a multi-award-winning provider of AI-enhanced
cybersecurity services providing automated managed detection and response for
a portfolio of international clients, is pleased to announce it has been
recognised for the second consecutive year in the Market Guide for Managed
Detection and Response ("MDR") produced by Gartner, a leading research and
advisory company.
The annual Gartner report is a recognised industry guide for organisations
evaluating MDR service providers. The 2025 report highlights that MDR
services provide customers with remotely delivered, human-led, turnkey
functions to deliver threat disruption and containment. It also notes that
MDR services are now available from well over 600 providers, underlining the
growing maturity and competitive nature of the market.
Gartner's latest research emphasises that human-driven, outcome-focused MDR
services are essential for effective threat detection and response. Turnkey
threat detection, investigation and response (TDIR) capabilities remain a core
requirement for MDR buyers, who also increasingly demand proactive
identification and mitigation of threat exposures. As organisations mature
their SOC operations and AI-driven tools enable active containment and
disruption of threats, trust, transparency, and pathways to self-service have
become critical factors in MDR provider selection.
These findings align closely with Smarttech247's MDR offering. Smarttech247's
technology-agnostic VisionX platform, powered by its AI Assistant Aio,
combines advanced security technologies with expert human analysis to deliver
comprehensive, scalable and outcome-driven MDR services. The Company's
proactive threat hunting, exposure management and data-centric approach help
organisations strengthen cyber resilience and accelerate their security
operations without compromising on effectiveness or compliance.
Raluca Saceanu, CEO of Smarttech247, commented:
"We are proud to be recognised once again by Gartner as a representative
vendor for Managed Detection and Response. The inclusion of Smarttech247 for
the second year running highlights our commitment to delivering human-led,
AI-enhanced security operations that evolve in line with the industry's needs.
"As MDR services continue to grow in importance, we remain dedicated to
providing our clients with innovative, transparent and effective solutions to
help them detect, contain and disrupt threats across their environments."
