About Kocho
In today’s connected world, business has no boundaries. Data, devices, and people are connecting everywhere, all at once.
That’s exciting – but it’s also complex, and complexity creates risk.
Kocho was founded in 2001 to help organisations navigate this new world with clarity, confidence, and control. For over two decades, we have united identity, security, and cloud to help ambitious companies realise their full potential and become greater.
We help our clients address a simple problem: How do you protect everything without slowing everyone down?
Identity sits at the heart of our approach. In a world where the traditional network perimeter has vanished, identity forms the foundation for security and transformation. By putting identity-driven security architecture first, we help organisations modernise, secure their data, and empower their people to work from anywhere, on any device, at any time.
As cyber threats have evolved, so have we. In 2024, Kocho launched Managed XDR Rapid Protect – a service designed to complement our deep identity and security expertise, offering UK businesses a managed XDR and SecOps solution that is truly unique. We recognised that security teams were overwhelmed by alert fatigue, skills gaps, and the growing complexity of hybrid estates. Traditional MSSPs were not providing the clarity, partnership, or customisation that modern organisations require.
Managed XDR Rapid Protect is built around three core values: rapid protection, partnership, and transparency. Key features of the service include AI-powered XDR, which cuts incident response times from hours to minutes. Also, our unique ClearVue™ reporting dashboards allow clients to clearly see risks, costs, and security recommendations in one view.
Everything is then supported by genuine partnership, managed by UK-based analysts with a deep understanding and the ability to provide highly tailored solutions.
What sets Kocho apart is our strong Microsoft heritage. As a strategic partner for more than 20 years, we hold every Microsoft Security accreditation and have helped shape the development of security products as a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association. We are also fully Cyber Essentials Plus accredited, and our consultants hold CISSP and ISO27001 credentials.
Our impact is measured by the success of our clients. We have helped UK based enterprises unify endpoint, identity, and cloud protection across thousands of devices; delivered automated vulnerability management for financial services; and deployed 24/7 protection for the UK’s largest pharmaceutical distributor. Clients consistently cite our technical knowledge, professionalism, and ethos of partnership as reasons for their success.
Kocho’s Managed XDR Rapid Protect is not just another security service. It is a commitment to helping organisations move from risk to resilience, with identity at the core and partnership in our DNA. Together, we help our clients become greater.
