Ideal Customer
- Assured's stated mission is to serve enterprise and mid-market organizations, and its investor Oakley Capital describes it as 'the partner of choice for small and medium-sized enterprises.' Its own website positions services for organizations that cannot feasibly build in-house resilience infrastructure, making its consumption-based, fully managed model especially attractive to mid-market firms (under $1B revenue) with complex data environments.
- Named reference customers include a mix of mid-market firms (Shoosmiths, Royal Opera House, City & Guilds) and large enterprises (Disney, Honda, Elanco), and its 24/7/365 support model and flexible per-seat or consumption-based pricing make enterprise-grade protection accessible without large capital commitments.
Key Differentiators
- Assured's core differentiator is deep specialization: rather than expanding into general IT services, it has remained singularly focused on backup, disaster recovery, and cyber resilience for a decade, building what it describes as a 'specialist practice' model.
- It is Rubrik's largest global MSP and has won Rubrik's Global MSP Partner of the Year award in both 2023 and 2026.
Industries Served
- Assured Data Protection explicitly targets healthcare, financial services (including banking and credit), education (K-12 through universities), state and local government, U.S. federal/public sector, corporate enterprise, manufacturing, and non-profit organizations.
- The company holds particular depth in healthcare (supporting HIPAA compliance and protecting PACS systems), financial services (helping meet PCI DSS requirements), and U.S. public sector (supporting CMMC Level 2 and CJIS frameworks).
Service Coverage
- Assured Data Protection operates as a truly global managed service provider, delivering data backup, disaster recovery, and cyber resiliency services to customers in over 70 countries worldwide.
- The company is co-headquartered in Leeds, UK (UK/EMEA HQ, now at Thorpe Park) and Herndon, Virginia, USA, with additional offices in Denver and Paris.
Partnerships
- Rubrik is Assured's foundational and most significant partner — the company was originally established as Rubrik's exclusive managed service provider and is now self-described as Rubrik's largest and most established global MSP.
- Additional key technology partnerships include Nutanix (for which Assured was named MSP of the Year UK 2024 and delivers a first-of-its-kind DRaaS solution), HPE Zerto (for VMware DR), and BackBox (for network and security configuration protection).
Company Size & Ownership
- Founded on May 4, 2016, by CEO Simon Chappell and co-founders Stacy Hayes, Rob Mackle, Andrew Eva, and Stewart Parkin, Assured Data Protection has grown from five people to approximately 255–300 employees globally across 4 continents as of mid-2026, following consistent high double-digit annual growth.
- Revenue estimates vary widely across sources (ZoomInfo and Datanyze cite approximately $8M, while LeadIQ and SignalHire estimate $100M–$250M range), reflecting the difficulty of pinning down private company financials; the company has raised a confirmed $34.1M in total funding across three rounds.
Compliance & Certifications
- Assured Data Protection holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 9001 certifications, all listed on its sizing tool and trust center.
- For specific regulated industries, its services are designed to support compliance with HIPAA, FINRA, PCI DSS, CMMC Level 2, and CJIS frameworks.
