SoSafe closes cybersecurity gap in SMEs with new MSP platform

Cologne, 5^th June, 2025 – SoSafe, Europe’s leading provider of security awareness training and human risk management, is launching a new managed security provider (MSP) platform that makes it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to access professional cybersecurity training. The new solution addresses a widespread cybersecurity misbalance: SMEs and resource-poor sectors often remain unprotected, while large companies can invest heavily in their IT security.

The new SoSafe MSP platform was developed specifically for managed service providers (MSPs). It enables scalable security training and phishing simulations to be delivered to SMEs efficiently via a multi-tenant white label solution. The platform helps MSPs reduce their customers’ security risks with minimal effort, while enabling smaller organisations to establish a sustainable security culture.

Growing security gap threatens small and medium-sized businesses

According to SoSafe’s Cybercrime Trends Report 2025, 98% of security managers see a continuing widening gap in cyber resilience between industries. While banks, insurance companies, and international corporations can invest significant resources in their security architecture, many smaller businesses, healthcare facilities, and critical infrastructure organizations struggle with outdated systems, limited budgets, and a lack of qualified personnel.

“Information security should not be a privilege reserved for the largest companies. Our new MSP platform enables IT service providers to quickly, efficiently, and effectively protect SMEs against cyber threats—without a high barrier to entry,” says SoSafe CEO Niklas Hellemann.

Scalable solution for small and medium-sized businesses

Available now, the MSP platform was developed in close collaboration with over 70 partners as part of a private beta program. It offers:

• A multi-tenant console that allows multiple customer environments to be managed simultaneously – with reduced administrative overhead 
• Interactive, gamified training content and simulations tailored to different threat scenarios in SMEs
• A flexible pricing model with no minimum purchase requirement that adapts to MSPs’ business models and makes training accessible even to micro-enterprises

“We highly value the friendly and goal-oriented communication of SoSafe’s team. Our ideas and suggestions are integrated into product development and ultimately reflected in the solution,” said Antonia Schröder, Organisation & Information Security Officer, ITSC GmbH.

“SoSafe has really listened to its partners with this new platform. Our teams can now effortlessly integrate security awareness into our offering,” said Richard Garner, Head of Technology, Acora One.

Democratizing access to cyber resilience

SMEs are particularly frequent targets of cyber-attacks but are often inadequately prepared to deal with them. According to the World Economic Forum, more than a third of small organizations worldwide (35%) rate their cyber resilience as inadequate – a sevenfold increase since 2022. This is a critical development, as SMEs account for 99% of all companies in the EU, employ around 100 million people, and form the backbone of the European economy. An ENISA survey shows how severely security incidents can affect SMEs: 90% of respondents report serious impacts within a week of an incident, and 57% even fear business closure or insolvency in the event of a serious incident.

“This structural gap not only endangers individual companies, but also fundamental social functions. If small businesses are not protected, the entire digital supply chain is vulnerable,” explains Hellemann. ‘The MSP platform is our contribution to closing this gap in a targeted manner.’
