Company profile
researched Sep 2026StrongKeep is a Singapore-based cybersecurity company that sells a bundled, self-serve security platform to small and medium-sized businesses that lack a security team or IT manager. The platform packages baseline cyber hygiene capabilities into a single subscription covering five areas: compliance (guided preparation for standards including CSA Cyber Essentials and PDPA Data Protection Essentials, with a Ministry of Health Health Information Act module and international standards described as forthcoming), protection (endpoint anti-malware and a DNS/web-filtering network firewall), training (bite-sized cyber awareness modules and phishing simulations with per-employee results tracking), detection (regular scans of websites, domains, servers, IP/network configuration and leaked credentials), and response (crisis playbooks, an incident diagnostic tool and access to cyber insurance).
Onboarding is designed for non-technical users: customers connect Microsoft 365 or Google, add team members, and distribute endpoint agents by email or download, with the company stating most customers are live in under 60 minutes. A free external scan is offered as an entry point, requiring no credit card or installation. Additional modules include a password manager built on Vaultwarden and a compliance workflow that auto-generates policies and collects evidence for an assessor. The company frames its market gap as "cyber inequity" — smaller firms being the most affected by attacks while being least served by enterprise tooling and managed security providers.
Founding story
The founders were motivated by the constraints facing SMBs — limited budgets and an inability to hire dedicated cybersecurity professionals — and set out to bridge that gap with a lower-cost, scalable delivery model.
Business model
Subscription software sold directly to SMBs and also bundled through telcos and banks for their customers. Tiered plans (Protection, Compliance, and a forthcoming Resilience tier) are priced per month with per-device add-ons, annual billing offered at a 20% discount, and billing available in USD or SGD. Cyber insurance is an optional add-on.
Recurring monthly or annual subscription fees starting at US$39/month covering five devices, with additional per-device charges for anti-malware and web filtering beyond the included endpoints, plus an add-on cyber insurance premium estimated at S$85/month (roughly S$1,000–S$3,000 annually) for up to S$250,000 of coverage.
Traction
The company publishes named customer testimonials from Neumark Surgery, Integra Partners, AZAntz, IHRP and an unnamed F&B retail chain, and states that non-technical staff have deployed the platform within hours and that most customers go live in under 60 minutes. It also reports bundling distribution through telcos and banks, and has published an account of blocking a "ClickFix" infostealer attack.
Latest developments
A Resilience tier featuring an agentic AI virtual CISO, integration of customers' existing tools and policies, continuous compliance alerting and auto-completed procurement questionnaires is listed as coming soon, alongside planned support for the MOH Health Information Act and international standards. A CRN Asia feature profiling the company and interviewing the CEO was published in 2026.

Market position
Positioned as an alternative to managed security service providers and consultants for the segment of smaller businesses that cannot afford MSSP offerings. The company argues that repackaging enterprise tools with services attached remains too costly for small firms, and instead re-engineers the product into a pre-integrated, self-deployable bundle — an approach the CEO compares to flat-pack furniture versus bespoke carpentry.
Self-served rather than managed or consultative delivery; a single bundle spanning protection, compliance certification, training, detection and cyber insurance rather than point tools; low price point enabled by AI-assisted development and delivery; software-based DNS firewall instead of on-premises hardware; and a stated partnership with a certifying body intended to shorten certification timelines.
Technology
The product is built primarily on and hosted on AWS. Device protection is powered by Palo Alto Cortex technology, web filtering uses Control D, and the password vault is based on Vaultwarden. The platform integrates with Microsoft 365 and Google for onboarding, and includes automated external scanning covering web server security, domain security, IP and network security and post-quantum cryptography checks, plus DNS-level email hygiene checks (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC). The company says it relies heavily on AI productivity tools and is incorporating agentic capabilities into customer-facing experiences, including a planned 24/7 virtual CISO in its Resilience tier.
Go-to-market
StrongKeep initially went to market by reaching out to customers directly to establish the brand, and also distributes through bundling arrangements with telcos and banks. The website uses a free external attack-surface scan and an interactive demo as top-of-funnel offers, alongside self-service signup, published pricing, case studies and a help centre.
Small and medium-sized businesses, including micro-SMBs and organisations with fewer than 50 employees that have no dedicated security staff or IT manager. Named verticals include healthcare clinics and professional services; cited customer examples span a surgery practice, a professional services firm, an F&B retail chain and a pest control company.
Geography
Headquartered in Singapore, with compliance modules oriented to Singapore standards (CSA Cyber Essentials, PDPA Data Protection Essentials, MOH Health Information Act) and a stated focus on Southeast Asian SMBs; international standards support is described as coming soon.
